Guest Reviews

Thomas (10/5): Tambuti Lodge - einfach atemberaubend! - Die Tambuti Lodge hat unsere Erwartungen vollkommen übertroffen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder diese Lodge wählen. Die Gastgeber sowie die Angestellten sind alle äusserst freundlich und zuvorkommend. Obwohl man weit weg ist von Zuhause fühlt man sich wie Zuhause. Das Essen schmeckt vorzüglich. Wir haben es geliebt. Am letzten Abend wurden wir sogar mit einem Candle Night Dinner überrascht. Die Game Drives waren extrem spannend und sehr berührend. Die Tierwelt so hautnah zu sehen ist ein tolles Erlebnis. Wir hatten grosses Glück und konnten sehr viele Tiere beobachten. Wir haben uns während des ganzen Aufenthalts sehr sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Wir haben keine Beanstandungen. Es war einfach nur sensationell. Es verdient die höchste Bewertung.
Björn (8/5): Romatischer Aufenthalt - Enagagiertes Personal. Ruhige Lage. NAch den Game Drive romatisch, ungeplante Überraschung Game Drive-Fahrer war nicht so mitteilsam
de wee (10/5): A.L - First of all safety is a big deal for me I love that the host Douglas assured us of our safety even before we asked. The staff gave us a friendly warm homey welcome. The food was exquisite the atmosphere was exceptional we felt like we are home but in a 10× more scenic one. The game drive with Sean was so informative and interesting and he goes the extra mile to give us an experience. Nothing. I LOVED IT.
Elizabeth (9/5): Perfect safari for our honeymoon. Very peaceful and romantic. - Small, boutique hotel. Extremely peaceful. The staff were incredible and went the extra mile to make you feel special every day. The food was exceptional - we were never hungry. The game drives were a highlight. Martin, our driver, was very knowledgable with infectious passion! Nothing - it was perfect.
Amy (10/5): Five stars - Gorgeous location, amazing privacy, quality!
Marijke (10/5): Top accommodatie, excellente service - Prachtige accommodatie, super verzorging Alles was meer dan goed
Caroline (10/5): Persönliche und tolle Lodge - Wunderschöne und sehr persönliche Lodge - wir waren total begeistert - ganz besonders auch von den tollen Mitarbeitenden, die unseren Aufenthalt ganz besonders gemacht haben und wirklich so toll waren. Auch die Gamedrives mit Martin waren fantastisch und der abendliche Apero, zu dem auch die Lodgemitarbeiter kamen, war sehr herzlich und familiär - wir haben dies sehr genossen. -

Antoinette (10/5): - Geweldige lodge met zeer vriendelijk personeel, lekker eten en een geweldige service. Helaas verbleven we er maar twee nachten, we hadden best langer willen blijven. Op de laatste avond had men een verrassing voor ons: de kamer en de badkamer waren verlicht met kaarslicht, men had het bad vol laten lopen en als klap op de vuurpijl kregen we een prive diner op ons eigen terras, compleet met champagne en kaarslicht. Geweldig! Sfeervol en persoonlijk, echt een aanrader Helemaal niets
Neil (10/5): The staff, accomodation, food, drinks, game drives (4 of the Big5) and every other aspect was just out of this world. Hi - The accomodation was next level, simply amazing. Everything was on point, not a single flaw.
Cathy (10/5): A delightful stay - Impeccable Service - beauty - comfortable Zero
Adriana (10/5): Exceptional - Increible, everything was perfect nothing, we loved everything
Turner (10/5): Exceptional -
Jéssica (10/5): Amazing stay - Amazing stay. Staff was very helpful, they make you feel like home. Rooms are big, clean and very confortable. Food is very good, we loved the dinner served at the room! It was our honeymoon trip and everuthing was great! The games were nice, we were not luck the first ones but in the last we saw lions and elefants! We loved everything.
Karina (10/5): Tambuti Black Rhino has never disappointed! - Exceptional customer service - friendly, warm and efficient
Rune (10/5): Five star lodge - Fabulous lodge. Staff, service, comfort, food, drives, wildlife - all exceptionally good.
Perkin (10/5): Best ever accommodation! - Tambuti is the best accommodation experience I think I've ever had. Better than any 4* or 5* hotel that I've stayed at, so truly exceptional. The warmth of the welcome, the attention to detail, the thoughtfulness and care - all were just wonderful. Plus we had tremendous food and drink, a beautiful building and location, and a marvellous guided safari experience. Very intimate (just 5 suites) and outstanding in every respect. Nothing - it was all just great! Admittedly, the swimming pool is more of a plunge pool and it is unheated. But even that was a refreshing experience after a dusty journey.
Nicholas (9/5): Fantastic lodge run by a bunch of amazing staff -
Stone (10/5): Amazing - Everything from the welcome to the end! All the people are so happy and excited! It was a wonderful stay! The chefkok was amazing 🤩 The guide was so helpful and informative about the animals and we saw the BIG 5!! He did al the best to see with us as most as possible. The host was kind and will do anything to make it comfortable for us. My wife was pregnant and they did everything to make it comfortable for us!! Don’t hesitate to book here!! /
Jane (10/5): Perfect safari experience!! - Everything about this property was just 10/10!!! Amazing lodge, amazing food, incredible staff, fantastic knowledgeable guides Couldn’t fault a thing If you’re looking for a perfect safari experience…..look no further ❤️
Noedine (10/5): Exceptional -
Tania (10/5): Exceptional -
Carlos (10/5): If you want perfection and an amazing experience you need to go to Tambuti. - Everything was perfect!! Probably the best hotel experience we ever had! Perfect welcoming, extremely friendly staff (without being too much), beautiful outside areas with amazing atmosphere created with oil lamps and candles, great experience on the fire pit over a drink and a great chat upon arrival from game drive, spotless pool area. Loved the “mi casa, tu casa” concept where we could help ourselves to the open bar. The sleeping room was beautiful and spotless clean. The food was amazing and the chefs really friendly, the high teas phenomenal…… we could go on and on and on about Tambuti. Go do yourselves a favour a book this lodge! Absolutely nothing, all perfect!!
Richard (10/5): This place is awesome. This is our third trip to Tambuit and having done other game farm holidays, I can tell you categ - Tambuti is part of Black Rhino and as such get exclusive access to large parts of the park, away from the mass of public and hotel resort visitors, and with exclusive access to many of the territories of some of the rarer animals such as Cheetah and Leopard, the derives are an absolute pleasure. The guides from Black Rhino share knowledge with each other and have a protocol on who can arrive, and in what order when there is something unusual to see. This means that the animals are left to be in their own environment without vans and cars jostling for position and often there is just you and the animal in perfect tranquility. The food is fabulous, the staff are all awesome, you will not find better than this I promise you Highly recommended Nothing
Andre (10/5): TOP - A very good lodge, Everything was fine, very friendly and recommended at any time. The staff are a dream here, you are really welcomed. The food was also perfect. The safari is also highly recommended here as the guide is very experienced. we will definitely come again. Andre´ Top accommodation
Andrzej (9/5): Superb - I liked almost everything, especially game rides with our guide Martin. I did not like the cold lunch, it was really basic, I expected some cooked food. I don't really understand why I had to pay 2000 more than my colleague, who is a S.A. resident. This is a private property, and the price should be based on the expenses and the profit margin.
John (10/5): Exceptional - The accommodation is 1st class, the food is amazing, the staff are extremely friendly, and the facilities are just right for the number of guests. NothEverything, there's nothing to dislike.
Thomas (10/5): Paradise on the edge of Pilanesberg for couples - Spacious room as described online, only 6 rooms, privacy with outdoor shower area. The perfect spot for young couples especially honeymooners Staff always ready to support, enlighten, or suggest Game drives included in price All-inclusive extended to the bar including “premium” beverages. Although the property requests health & dietary information, items appearing on my plate gave me a feeling my submission had not been read. A paradise for young lovers is not going to be as pleasant for solo travelers. Food was limited in quantity: most items pre-plated. The game drives in a jeep in radio contact with other jeeps in the reserve means about 30 people will all be dashing to whatever animal has been sighted from one Jeep. Gratuities were $ubtly yet $trongly $uggested.
Sonya (10/5): Exceptional - Everything N/A
Sharona (10/5): Wow! Wow! Wow! The perfect couples getaway!! - The food here was absolutely incredible!!!! Chef Edith spoilt us with the most amazing meals every single day and even made us a special something on the day of our departure. The staff went above and beyond on everything! Chef Edi, Marcia the assistant manager and Malcolm the general manager in particular made our stay one we will never ever forget - however every single member of their team we engaged with were really a pleasure! Their guest interaction is 5 star!! The units are beautiful - very spacious, clean and so so tranquil. This is the perfect spot for a couples get away! The attention to detail on the little things is really special! The turn down service with a piece of fudge on your pillow every night was a sweet gesture! We had a private candle light dinner and a bubble bath on our first night's stay for our 10 year anniversary. This was so so special! The amount of incredible sightings we had on every single game drive was spectacular! We had to leave🙃
Karina (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing experience. Always 10 out of 10
Ahmad (10/5): First of all I would like to thank everyone in Tambuti. it was pleasant and pleasure meeting all of you. The stay was me - everything was perfect nothing
Verified traveler (10/5): - Spending time at Tambuti Lodge is like spending time with your family but with 5 star service. Malcolm is a fantastic host who cannot do enough to make his visitors comfortable. Bert is an expert guide full of knowledge and fantastic stories. Edith and Ashley cooked wonderful food. 5 stars all around. I highly recommend visiting Tambuti Lodge. I will be going back.
Paulo Sergio (10/5): Incrível - Sensacional , amamos o Horel o atendimento impecável detida equipe
Ivan (8/5): Excellent game drives - The game drives were excellent and overall we were very happy. The staff were all fantastic. The food too was excellent. My only gripe is that the portions were very small.
David (8/5): Overnight stay and game drive - Intimate and friendly with only five or six rooms. Very welcoming, clean and comfortable and lots of food and drink! Game drive was excellent. The location is shady with no views. Unfortunately there was an issue with the toilet in our bedroom suite and an unpleasant odour.
