- Mohoase (4/5): The place has a lot of potential, the staff is great but infrastructure needs maintenance & upgrades - I like the staff, very friendly and helpful. My room was nice and clear. There are plenty braai places which is good. The swimming pool is always clear blue and cleaned. Public toilets are clean. WIFI needed. The infrastructure of the is in decay and the public chilling lapa place furniture is old and the snooker table messed up. The bar is limited. There are a lot of spiders in the bathrooms.

- Rochelle (10/5): Had the BEST stay @ Savannah Game Drive & Wedding Lodge. Would 100% recommend!!🤩 - The staff was were friendly and accomodating. The tent rooms were neat and luxurious. The Game drive was really exciting and would defenitely recommend it! The scenery was beautiful. There was alot of fun activities such as: chess, pool, swimming, game drive, historical sites. The lodge has alot of braai areas as well. No need to bring food, because they have a chef at the lodge.

- Definate (10/5): -
- Faragher (8/5): - We arrived late in the evening and Angie was very accommodating. We were even upgraded to the executive suite because of the time we arrived. Angie also arranged that we could order dinner while we were on our way. Saturday morning we moved to the tented chalet which was beautiful, clean & neat. Sharon, the chef makes AMAZING food and her chili & chilli tomato jam is not to be missed if you are a chilli or spicy kind of person. The game drive we went on was Super, the views are beautiful and the animals too. The history that is around the area is also very informative. We had a look at the wedding venue and it is stunning and the ideas that are available are great. All the staff are friendly, accommodating and go the extra mile for their guests. Definitely returning to visit again ☺️
- Kies (4/5): Fair - The food was good and the staff was nice Didn’t look anything like what is portrayed on the website, the bath was loosing water so you can’t bath too long and the next day we didn’t have any warm water also I was not really happy with the R150 I paid to make the room look special.
- Tiffany (10/5): Exceptional - I took a solo trip and didn't really plan on being around people much, but the staff were super friendly and made my trip so memorable. The food was so delicious and comforting 🫠! Sharon's cookies were also really tasty, I wish I had bought more to bring home. The room, bathroom, and bedding were all beautifully clean when I got there. Though it was really cold at night, the bed had an electric blanket, and there was a fan heater to warm up the room. I felt safe throughout, and this was really important since I was by myself. I was happy with the number of animals spotted on the game drive. I'd definitely return in summer. I think the place is beautiful. The gravel road was not too bad. I drive a grand i10 1.0, and I managed just fine. Nothing.
- Lebele (10/5): Great getaway in the middle of nowhere - We appreciated the warm welcome and even the courtesy of calling us just after booking to inform us on the room we booked, the directions and told us that she'll be waiting to welcome us. We loved tge friendliness of the staff that worked there. Super friendly people, also very efficient in their service. Nice and peaceful stay. The Game drive was the best because we also got to meet new people and chill together our second night there. Checking out was also smooth and efficient where all meals and activities were paid for after the stay which was pretty stress free. They should just emphasize that the place is VERY secluded so be sure to bring enough drinks, snacks and food if you plan to self cater... The gravel road for a first time was a bit too much; but driving back we managed to be directed to a smoother gravel road. Other than that Our stay was great 😃👍🏾

- Theuns (10/5): Dankie! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Die ontvangsdame het ons ontmoet letterlik buite toe ons hier gearriveer het - 5 star! Die barman vriendelik en behulpsaam. Sharon in die kombuis is super oulik!! - die kos is lekker en is selfs kom afgee by ons eenheid (nou dit is diens!) Netjies. Rustig. Regtig die geld werd gewees, dankie julle! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Die grond pad hierna toe is verskriklik, maar sodra jy by die lodge aankom, vergeet jy van die stofpad 🤣

- Wessels (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bheki (5/5): Not bad just needs a little bit of taking care osf - Food If the place was kept well
- Jeff (9/5): Superb -
- Michael (4/5): Disappointing - Friendly staff. When we arrived there was a power cut but no backup power supply. We stayed in a tented chalet (Unit 1) with numerous holes that let cold air in. The 'double bed' was actually two small beds pushed together. The pathway to and between chalets needs repair. The water supply in the taps and shower fluctuated and sometimes there was no water at all.
- Karabo (8/5): I really enjoyed my stay and hospitality from the stuff especially Mama Sharon and Angie was super. - The food was delicious breakfast lunch and super. The game ride was lovely and informative. The stuff was super friendly. The alcohol is expensive and no alcohol policy is not fair. The house keeping must be offered daily. Rooms should have TVs. The area of the pool, bar, tennis or volleyball play must be cleaned daily.
- Lawraine (8/5): I am happy and satisfied. - The receptionist, Mrs Charlotte...but she was so friendly, helpful, and accomodating. It was very cold, but electric blanket, heater were provided. I forgot my fleece blanket, but I did call Charlotte, she promised to couriered to me. The place is so far and the gravel was too bad!
- Phahlane (10/5): Exceptional - Enjoyed our time, definitely soul refreshing. The Staff, food and game drive was amazing.
- Lynn (7/5): Good location, clean unit, beautiful nature surroundings, friendly and helpful staff. - The room was very private and secluded. Very comfortable bed. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Unit was clean. Beautiful view from unit. Better quality pillows please. A fresh coat of pain outside as well as inside (walls, toilet door and ceiling). Was not really self catering - a small kitchenette will be very helpful! No braai area - a built-in braai will be nice. Trees to be cut away from unit's roof please. Was windy the 1st night and the branches was noisy on the roof. Did not see any animals that were shown on the website.
- Rebecca (10/5): If the tv can be closer to the bedroom - Room service Heater was not in good condition
- Moemise (7/5): Good -
- Liat (8/5): Value for money, beautiful scenery and amazing staff. - Great value for money. I loved the staff, amazing people that went all out to make my stay worthwhile.
- Nthabiseng (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shaun (8/5): Very good - The Bed was 2 Single Beds together
- Anlerie (3/5): We paid a lot of money and expected better faccilities and communication. We would have thought twice going there if we - The staff were very friendly. It is not a self catering resort. No kitchen utencils are provided. Some doors in the rooms can't be locked. You need to walk everywhere you want to go- you can't drive around the lodge. The food is very expensive. There is no restaurant. No room service. Path to the resort is 15+ km gravel road and a lot of rocks in the road.
- Nhlanhla (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kyle (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely amazing stay!! Angie the manager is fantastic and she goes out of her way to make sure you're comfortable and enjoying yourself , 10/10 experience for her hospitality alone :)
- Schulz (5/5): Passable -
- Lethola (10/5): Exceptional -
- Liezel (4/5): Disappointing - Daar was hare in die stort se prop. Kamers het verf en upgrade nodig, maar die personeel was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.
- Johan (3/5): Although this is a perfect place in nature to unwind, I will not return. - Location, Friendly staff. Facilities are run down and in need of serious fixing. Owners indemnify themselves against Grost neglect, although even the walkway is falling apart and in need of dire repairs. Exposed power connections everywhere. Canvas of tent torn and screeching against the tin roof when the wind blows. No hot water. Dead insects under the cushions on the bed. We did not sleep in the bed but rather used our own blankets to sleep under. Front door coming apart at the seams. We came for a quit weekend and although there were no wedding and only a few people at the establishment the load music and karaoke went on till after 23:00. With a bit of TLC the place would definitely bloom again.
- Erasmus (8/5): Very good - The facility is beautifull. The furnished tents are not luxurious but style full and everything you need. Its that in the bush camp feeling with privacy and comfort. The game drive is a must Plenty of beautifull game to see. The ribet walk needs some tyding up and is not suited for bicycles. Rather tame the game area rpited for exploring on bicycle. Staff is friendly and willing to assist with all needs. Beautiful clean pool Will see you again soon Waterflow by tents of during loadshedding. Solar system could be of a benifit there.
- Shemane (10/5): Bets place near parys to stay - The staff were super friendly and welcoming and it was peaceful and calm.
- Ndala (1/5): Bad -
- Ephraim (5/5): Take the tent away,the our stay was glorius. - The location is isolated which is what we wanted.The staff is very friendly and made the enviroment homely.The facility layout is also beautiful and user friendly. I did not get the room that I booked online and settled for a tent structure which did not sit well with me because I do not do camping. The tent was well equipped though, just not my vibe. meals are freshhly prepared which is greate but you have to wait,not good for a hungry traveller.....but the website creates a different impression because it refers to a restaurant on site which suggests shorter periods for your meal to be ready.
- Japhet (10/5): Exceptional -
