- Anton (8/5): -
- Steven (9/5): Fantastische plek met mooie game drive mogelijkheid - Locatie en unieke ligging huisje Alles was top in het huisje, van alle gemakken voorzien. Wel wat verouderd sanitair tov de prijs die je betaalt.
- Adriana (10/5): -
- Jean-Pierre (10/5): Fantastisch, ze hebben zelfs de auto gewassen - Echt alles, de villa was fantastisch. Heeft alles ook open haard binnen en buiten. Drinkplaats voor de deur. We hadden het geluk om in de ochtend nijlpaarden te zien en eind middag neushoorns toen we een braai maakten. Niets
- Arnaud (9/5): Magnifique séjour dans un lieu exceptionnel. Tout était parfait, que ce soit l’emplacement de la maison, les sorties en -
- Emmie (10/5): 5 star game reserve experience - We were warmly greeted by the staff upon arrival, and even before arrival the communication was perfect. We drove to our villa and saw some wild life already, including a buffalo in front of our gate!
The villa is absolutely gorgeous, lots of firewood to make fires, amazing kitchen and facilities. We loved our stay!
- Tony (8/5): For those with 10-12 year old children and when with limited time this is a perfect location to get a feel for the real - Our second visit and, as before, the property was one of the best equipped and furnished self-catering units we have ever experienced. The location was idyllic. The kitchen sink is the wrong way round and the wall cupboards too intrusive. (Minor criticism)
- Marc (10/5): Fantastisch - Prachtige ligging aan hun drinkplaats- we zagen de eerste avond een magisch tafereel bij zonsondergang: nijlpaarden- buffet- 2 giraffen en een groep impalas in het avondrood. Om nooit te vergeten!
- VM (10/5): Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis - Wunderschöne Villa mit unvergesslichen Tiererlebnissen am Wassserloch - Sunset Game Drive ebenfalls sehr zu empfehlen; auch die Whats App Reminder für die Aktivitäten waren eine gute Idee Leider wurde uns die Villa mit nassen Aussenkissen übergeben. Würde bei dem Preis ein Set zum Wechseln vor Einzug empfehlen, damit man auch den vollen Komfort geniessen kann
- Maren (10/5): -
- Johannes (10/5): -

- Sabine (10/5): - Es war für uns als Familie Atemberaubend schön in einer der Bush Villas zu verweilen.
Der Service, die Massagen, die Safari… insgesamt war unser Aufenthalt Traumhaft!
- Wouter (10/5): Super reservaat - Prachtige, grote bungalow van alle gemakken voorzien. Drinkplaats voor de dieren, recht voor ons terras. Geen opmerkingen
- Basheer (9/5): Excellent, expensive though - Excellent location and facilities No nearby dining options
- Johanna (9/5): -
- Marcel (10/5): Fantastisch, prachtige ervaring! - Wow, wat een prachtige plek. We hadden een villa aan het water. Het wildlife liep gewoon aan je villa voorbij en de nijlpaarden zitten vlak voor je terras in het water. Geweldig! Eigenlijk gewoon niets. De game drives waren top, ranger Silas was top..! Voor ons echt een supermooie ervaring. Niet goedkoop, maar iedere cent waard!
- Helen (9/5): Private Bush Villas overlooking a dam & in a lovely setting. Spacious, clean and well equipped. - The bush villas are well positioned and the view over the dam is great. The only negative was that we could not really make use of the jacuzzi as it is set at 36 degrees which was way too hot to enjoy. With the hot weather it would have been lovely to have had something to cool off in.
- Penelope (10/5): The perfect place to experience the African Bush close up - Absolutely amazing Villa location (Villa 4) right on a waterhole teaming with wildlife. We felt like we were in another world! Resident hippos came out to feed on the banks in the evenings, buffalo came down for a swim, rhinos for a mud bath and even a giraffe came by for a visit. The lake is full of birds and aquatic life. Villa was spacious and had everything needed for a comfortable self catering stay for a family of 4. Splash pool was warm and a perfect addition. Nothing it was all amazing!
- Monika (10/5): -
- Bentin (10/5): - Wir waren in der Busch Villa 1. Wunderschön an einem großen Wasserloch mit Nilpferden gelegen. Sehr ruhig. Ein Wasserbüffel war öfter dort und es kam auch eine Giraffe zum Trinken. Es waren auch viele andere Tiere dort. Löwen, Geparden und Elefanten gibt es nicht auf dieser Seite des Parks (es gibt zwei abgetrennte Teile), sodass man diese nicht am Wasserloch erwarten kann. Diese haben wir aber auf einer Safaritour gesehen.
- Lorné (10/5): -
- Lourens Scheepers (10/5): The property excellent! Great viewing animals from your front door at the waterhole. - Self catering. They were an hour late for our Game drive and did not even have coffee on the morning drive. To pay R6900 for 4 adults and two children on a morning game drive without any beverage is not good....
- katie (10/5): Stunning - Everything!It was absolutely stunning,will definitely return.
- Robin (9/5): Fantastic game park stay. Animals left to their own devices unlike how it used to be. No more cages! - Hippos and Rhinos at the end of the garden. Game drive. No espresso machine or bottle of wine.
- Elena (10/5): Magnifico - Las vistas, instalaciones Precio elevado alojamiento y safaris
- Milly (9/5): Will be back - Luxury in the tranquil bush

- Maria (10/5): Wunderschöne Unterkunft direkt am Wasserloch mit Tieren und toller Ausstattung. - Lage der Villa direkt am Wasserloch mit Blick auf die Hippos, schöner Aussenbereich mit Feuerstelle und warmen Pool. Super für Familien!
- Carsten (10/5): Wunderschöner Aufenthalt - Wir hatten die Bush Villa 1. Sie ist wunderschön an einem Wasserloch gelegen, wo man den ganzen Tag den Hippos zuschauen kann. Auch Nashörner, Nialas und alle Arten von Vögeln kamen dort vorbei.
Die Villa ist sehr gut ausgestattet und der Außenbereich mit Grill und Hot Tub lädt zum Verweilen ein. Die Safari war toll und wir haben jede Menge Tiere gesehen. Ein absolut gelungener Aufenthalt!

- Steenkamp (10/5): Wild Beauty and Peaceful Comfort - We absolutely loved our stay at the bush villas – a beautiful, peaceful spot right in the heart of nature. Surrounded by wildlife and stunning scenery, it truly felt like a hidden gem. The setting was perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff went out of their way to be nice and made the stay extra special.
- Abdulrahman (10/5): Exceptional - Villa 1 in front of the lake is astonishing, it has three bedrooms and living room, and outdoor seating. Heated pool in the winter was unexpected surprise. The bathroom lack privacy, especially the showers
- Ayman (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lieve (10/5): Exceptional - A great villa in the wildlife park near the lake with the Hippos. The villa is really beautiful with 3 big bedrooms, very well equipped kitchen and a great deck with stunning views. Nothing
- Eveline (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely outstanding!
- Leon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jacques (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (9/5): Magical - Loved the location and set up Communication regarding the other properties
- Mariska (10/5): Absolutely lovely experience. - Perfect place if you want to get away from the noise and relax in nature. The layout of the upstairs bedroom was not ideal.
- Ernst (10/5): Exceptional -
- Luzanne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ilya (10/5): Exceptional - Very immersive experience! Huge braai area for real pro!
- Kritzinger (9/5): Really wonderful family vacation with great accommodation, friendly knowledgable guides, very well maintained allover. A - The location of the bush villas is wonderful. The black wattles 😁
- Vinesh (10/5): Fantastic ! - Amazing location and beautiful Villa, well equipped. Animals all around
- Barry (8/5): Mooi - Locatie en dieren Organisatie. Er ging veel mis met boeken
- Anna (10/5): Great private game with amazing safari! - Amazing villa by the water hole. We could view zebras and gnus from our heated pool!
Our guide at the game drive Brizano was very nice and explained us all very good, saw a lot of animals! The staff at the reception was very helpful and responsive! Service at the Bellvie restaurant could be on a higher level (couldn’t explan the food they are serving, slow and even ignored our requests).
It is a great game reserve but with some minor final touches they could make guests feel more special.
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent Villa with a view on the water hole
- Rusby (10/5): The best part of my holiday. Take me back to Botlierskop! - Everything!!!!! Stunning facilities and surrounds. Staff were wonderful. I did not want to leave at all Having to leave it
- Lesley (10/5): An amazing experience. I would definitely come back. - Location was awesome watching the animals.
Service was amazing. Nothing
- Faisal (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jaber (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emma (10/5): Exceptional - Signs to the restaurant from the Bush Villas would be handy. Lights to walk from the car to the villas at night would make life easier especially for the older folk. And walking lights between the villas.
- Kelly (8/5): Very good -
- Reinhilde (10/5): superconfortable accommodation and great location - the accommodation is very beautiful and comfortable cleaning should be done every day automatically without having to ask
- Lynette (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vincent (8/5): Very good - Position of villa next to water hole.
Watching family of Hippo's in the water hole + other other animals visting during the course of the day.
Large rooms nicely furnished. Cleaning of rooms could be better.
No cover on plunge pool.
Water hole completely covered in a weed (no water visible). No advance notice given. Although this did not distract from our enjoyment it was still a shock when we initially saw it.
Outside cushions by bbq area need replacing, some burnt and stained.
This is still a fantastic place but the above points need addressing.
- Cindie (10/5): 10Stars! - Everything! N/a
- Verified traveler (10/5): Memorable stay - Seeing all animals (zebras, buffalos, hippos, rhinos) next to our Bush Villa was the highlight of our stay.
- Faisal (6/5): Pleasant - the Villa is very nice, you will love it! 1- the villa is located in a places where you can’t see any remarkable view (i.e. just as if the Villas are located between mountains, so you can’t see enough).
2- We did not see many animals in the Tour, it was a 3 hour Driving Tour rather than Seeing animals! they don’t have a lot of animals, highly disappointed.
3- the jakozi was Dirty! very dispassionting.
4- the difference between check-in & check-out times is 21 hours, not 24 hour, and they are not flexible at all in the checkout time!, they charge us 500 Rand for an hour extra!.
- Christian (10/5): Exceptional, both the lodge and its location as well as its price ... - Exceptional well equipped lodge with eg. 3 fridges, beautiful rooms with view outside. But the best is the calm and the view over the covered lake with some hippos. Sitting there outside, next to the open fire with a glass of wine and see how the animals go for a last walk before the sun goes down - really an exceptional experience we will never forget. The price is too high.
- Ernst (10/5): Exceptional -
- Saqer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Homaidan (7/5): Good - kind staffs
new experience with animals too cold at our stay with no electrical heater or air
condition in the bed room .. they use a heater in
the blanket but not enough…
the cleaning of kitchen is not good with bad smell
- Andy (8/5): Very good - The accommodation facilities and size of the villa
- Abdulrahman (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ronald (10/5): World Class Resort - unbelievable - What an unbelievable experience. We will definitely be back. Wish we could have stayed longer in the Villa. What an incredible experience.
- Julia (10/5): Wonderful place Five stars. - Second time we have been here and this time we brought friends. Really top notch. We recommend the villas with the game viewing and a horseback safari (at least 2 hours). One of our party was unhappy about the electric fences as they had a toddler and felt unsafe. I felt a lot safer after the buffalo was centremetres from our garden.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Secret getaway - Simply unique
- David (10/5): Perfect - Stayed in Bush Villa Lodge 1. Fantastic location, well appointed lodge with 3 fantastic bedrooms each with own en suite. Hippo’s in watering hole right outside entrance. Great experience overall which also included a late night, not to be forgotten, stand off with 2 rhino’s while driving back to the lodge after dinner. Thankfully Park staff came to our assistance which allowed us to return to the villa.
