The tents were stunning, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. Always felt safe, and spotted so many animals on the game drives. Would recommend!

Absolutely brilliant experience! Very glad we chose to stay here over Mabula lodge as it was a unique and personalised experience. The staff were attentive and always on hand to help going the extra mile. The accommodation was perfect and dining under the stars was a real highlight.

This is the most beautiful stay I’ve experienced. The location is secluded from the main lodge so you feel the extra peace and quiet. That staff are incredibly helpful and friendy. The food? Chef Johannes deserves his flowers, it was incredible. I highly recommend and will definitely be back

We had an idyllic getaway at the tent camp. Firstly, the tents are really stunning. The bed is extra wide and comfortable. The outside shower is awesome first thing in the morning. The tent was very clean, and easy to use. The camp is very quiet, and the night sky is spectacular. The attention by both the staff and ranger was also great. The chef was first class, and the food lacked nothing. It was maybe a little too much. The Saturday evening braai was a highlight, and breakfast robust. The staff went out of their way to treat us on the Sunday, and arranged a picnic by the dam. The game drives are great and the vehicle was comfortable. We had sunset drinks and snacks, and the blankets helped when it got cold. Frank the Rhino likes to hang around the camp, and there is also a couple of porcupines onsite.

Great lodge and secluded feel

We love the Mabula game reserve and have stayed in other lodges here before. We wanted to try a tented experience and were not disappointed. It was so lovely for us as a couple, to especially dinner under the stars with only 5 tents around you and a small area for dinner and drinks. You really do feel like you are in the middle of the bush. Liam our driver was fantastic on both drives, we saw the reserves Elephant herd and Lions all in the space of a day. He was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. We would definitely recommend and return here in the future.

This experience was all I had hoped for and more than I expected! I wanted to feel like we were part of our surroundings while having the luxury of a comfy bed and a full bathroom. The safaris every evening and every morning were exciting and rewarding with all of the big 5 either on the hunt, after the kill, or so close that their presence was surreal! The bonuses of our stay were the wonderful staff and the impressive meals. Dinners beside an open fire for just the two of us, extraordinary full course creations from the chef, and an intimate, outdoor setting with the wildlife often viewed from the table or from our shower. Our tent was impeccable upon our return from safari each morning and evening and all was comfortable and quiet for afternoon naps. Our stay was for 3 full days and nights and I highly recommend at least this length of stay in order to see all of the big 5. Our last safari was the best of all as we tracked a couple of cheetahs on their hunt and felt so blessed for the entire experience! This place is a must-do and I hope to return in the future.

8/10 Very good

Peace and quiet and close to Joburg airport.

This camp has only 5 tents so it is the perfect place for peace and quiet. The food is very good and the tents large and well spaced out. The small pool was out of action when we were there but was being repaired. Staff are welcoming but not intrusive. We flew home from here so being only 2.5 hours from Joburg airport was perfect. Malaria free also. Good value for money.
