"A stunning setting, with very luxurious tent accommodation and super food and game drives with a realistic budget."

10.0

Loved the location of the tent, overlooking the river, the tent itself was outstanding, including its own outside bath and shower, and a plunge pool ! Very luxurious. Staff were all very attentive an always had a smile and nothing was too much trouble at all. The main host was fantastic. My wife also had a full body scrub and massage which she said was excellent. We had great game drives and sundowns the whole experience was fantastic and it didn’t break the bank !

Nothing !

"Stunning location, amazing staff, a truly memorable experience."

10.0

Beautiful setting and really well designed and appointed luxury tent suites. The bed was really comfortable and we slept really well. The outdoor shower and bath and plunge pool were great!! Our terrace overlooked the river, giving a really peaceful and calming outside space to enjoy between game drives. The food was fantastic throughout our stay and all of the staff were amazing! There were only a small number of other guests there so it felt very private. A superb stay and cannot recommend highly enough. And then there was the wonderful experience of the game drives and all the animals we saw. 10/10!!

Nothing! Everything was fantastic!

"Von einer 5 Sterne Wohlfühl-Zelt Lodge haben wir mehr erwartet. Diese ist davon weit entfernt."

5.0

Wir haben auf Grund der vielen positiven Bewertungen auf unserer Südafrika Rundreise zwei Nächte im November im Nkomazi Game Reserve verbracht. Es war leider eines der schlechtesten Unterkünfte die wir in Südafrika bis jetzt erlebt haben. Die Lage und die Landschaft waren außergewöhnlich und wirklich traumhaft. Das Personal im Service Bereich war höflich und zuvorkommend. Frühstück war in Ordnung. Aber das war es leider schon.

Die vielen positiven Bewertungen können wir leider nicht nachvollziehen. Die Qualität der Speisen ist unbedingt verbesserungswürdig. Kein 5 Sterne Niveau geschmacklos und teilweise sehr einfach. Zum Mittag gab es ein Steak und am Abend gab es ein Brai. Unser Zelt war teilweise abgewohnt und oberflächlich gereinigt, Pool war verschmutzt. Toilettenbürste verrostet und Hygieneeimer verbeult. Ist mit einem geringen Aufwand auszutauschen. Das schlimmste Ärgernis waren die ersten beiden Safaris mit Lyla. Bei all unseren bisherigen Safaris hatten wir noch nie einen so schlechten Guide. Sie ist für den Gast eine Zumutung. Null Bock und kein Interesse irgendetwas zu erklären oder dem Gast Tiere zu zeigen. Schade, solches Personal ist in dem Bereich untragbar. Als wir uns mit Nachdruck beschwerten bekamen wir am zweiten Tag Derek. Und siehe da es ging auch anders. Fachkundiger und interessierter Guide. Wir würden diese Lodge definitiv nicht mehr buchen und können sie auch nicht weiterempfehlen. Preis/Leistung stimmt hier nicht.
