Temba Private Game Reserve

The property is close to Grahamstown yet far enough away to be out in the country. Easy access and shady parking. It was also nice to be able to walk in the reserve and a bonus to see giraffe, Nyala, zebra and impala.

A bit of road noise during the day.

Guests are treated like queens, the host called me three days before arrival to confirm special needs and preference. I was also checked prior boarding plane and on arrival in East London so he knows my expected time of arrival. He always wanted us to have warm meals.

Having to go back home so soon, would have liked to stay over for a longer period

An amazing place. Chris was exceptional with accommodating our needs. We would really come back for sure

Loadshedding

The service was great. The manager is hands on and him and his staff went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable

There is no alternative to Eskom, so during loadshedding, we were in the dark for the duration of the loadshedding, and then when that happens, even Wi-Fi does not work

Martin and his team were absolutely incredible. From personalised meals to great conversations at the bar or front of the braai. Rooms were spacious and clean. The lodge was private enough to feel that we were in nature, but the location was conveniently close enough to Grahamstown to visit family whenever we wanted to.
