Guest Reviews

Julia (10/5): An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Pure Magic - An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Pure Magic We spent three magical days at Tintswalo Safari Lodge, and it truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, care, and genuine hospitality. Every single detail was thoughtfully planned — from the luxurious accommodations to the beautifully presented meals and perfectly timed game drives. A special thank you to our ranger Floyd and tracker Reply — they are simply the best team! Their incredible knowledge, sharp instincts, and passion for wildlife made every drive unforgettable. They always found the perfect angles and got us up close to the most amazing animals, often when we least expected it. Thanks to them, we saw the Big Five and so much more, all in breathtaking moments we’ll never forget. What touched us most was the sincere effort the entire Tintswalo team made to ensure our stay was not just comfortable, but truly unforgettable. The staff anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, and every interaction felt personal and heartfelt. The lodge itself is stunning, perfectly blending into the wild surroundings while offering every imaginable comfort. Tintswalo is not just a place to stay; it’s an experience crafted with love, precision, and soul. We left with full hearts and memories that will stay with us forever. Thank you to the whole team — we cannot wait to return!
Kevin (10/5): Exceptional in every aspect - Perfect and unique location. Personalised and friendly service. Extremely competent and professional safari guide and tracker. Nil
Nicole (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect, we had a wonderful stay! Staff was very attentive and lovely. Safari was awesome, thank you to Eric and Ntsanko. We enjoyed our stay and can definitely recommend it :-)
Tim (10/5): - Wonderful place. We had an absolutely amazing stay, from start to finish. Saw every kind of animal and the guides and staff could not be faulted. The food was incredible as well, and nothing was too much trouble.
Molly (10/5): Best safari trip in South Africa - This hotel is amazing with everything you need for a safari vacation We stayed in explorer suite and the decorations were flawless. Your stay includes 2 daily safari at dawn and dusk, the guide is very informative and they are extremely safe. During the safari you embark to see the big5 , in your journey you will stop over for some nice treats. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and make the stay very special. They have elephants that regularly visit the property.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing location, wildlife visible from bedroom, fantastic staff and guide/tracker, great and charming way to spend an all-inclusive safari with a group of friends!
Linda (10/5): The most amazing hotel and staff. - Had the most wonderful safari experience. Every day was an adventure and the staff went out of their way to make sure your stay was perfect. Our guide Christoff was knowledgable and a joy! The accommodation was idyllic. Could not speak highly enough of Tintswalo.
Jesse (10/5): Tintswalo is Amazing - The trip was amazing. We were supposed to stay at Imbali, but we got a cancellation text day of check-in. We ended up staying at Tintswalo Lodge instead. Dave and Eric were our guide and tracker. They are amazing people and we learned so much from them. It was my wife's birthday and one day we went back to out room and a gift was waiting for her. We want to thank everyone at Tintswalo for making our stay so memorable. We feel like part of the family and look forward to seeing them again.
Chris (10/5): Honeymoon Adventure! - What a fantastic experience! The staff at Tintswalo were more than accomadating. They recognized our honeymoon with a private wine cellar dinner and spa lunch! We are both big foodies as well! The dining was exquisite. The game viewing in the Manyeleti was superb. Both of the Tintswalo guides Christof and Allister worked tirelessly to find the big 5. They went out of their way with additional hikes. My wife and I were particularly thrilled following the lioness and her pride while we watched other competing males enter their territory. Thank you to our guide Christof, our spotter Happy, our butlers Shermaine and Kenneth, and the coordinating staff Emily and Simoné. Thank you!!
Afsheen (10/5): Amazing experience! - We came here for the first leg of our honeymoon and were blown away! First - the staff really cares and is motivated to make your stay perfect. They cater to your every need and request. The guide and tracker really make your trip. Tell them what you hope to see and they'll do their best to make it a reality. Andrew was our guide and he couldn't have been better for us. Our luck in animal sightings was abnormally good - we were fortunate enough to see EVERY animal that we came to see. This is unusual so do not be disappointed if you do not see everything - our friends who have been to South Africa multiple times said it just depends on animal behavior. We also liked that Tintswalo did not overcrowd their game drive vehicles as other nearby camps seemed to do. Dinner settings changed every night and they kept us entertained and excited. Extremely clean facility
Ashleigh (10/5): Don't hesitate to book - This is the most wonderful place we have ever been (frequent Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, Ritz Carlton guests) - the service at Tintswalo was equal or better to these great five star hotel chains. Wonderful experience - authentic setting - unbeatable hospitality - everyone strived to ensure that we were happy and that we had everything we needed. We were so sad to leave and can't wait to be back!!!!
Verified traveler (10/5): - I recomend this lodge a 100%. Every thing was perfect, rooms, food, etc and the staff very friendly. Andrew was our game guide and was incredible. And Pardon the tracker was very nice. We saw the big five many times and a leopard hunting a baby impala.
Verified traveler (10/5): Great Safari Experience!!! - We went to Tintswalo for our honeymoon and we really enjoyed our stay, I'd recommend this beautiful place! Thank you
Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing Safari Experience!!! - We had an amazing experience in Tintswalo Safari Lodge! Very friendly staff, delicious food and amazing game drives!
