"Over het geheel leuke accommodatie. Wat er wel zou moeten zijn is een airco op de kamer . Voor de prijs en de hitte in de zomer . De fan kan alleen maar gardven heel hard wat erg hard waait als je ligt te slapen . We vonden t zwembad in verhouding met de aantal huisje best klein . En deze kan wat love and care gebruiken . "

"Hamiltons is s a tented camp and the rooms were very large and comfortable. They fed us well, and our Safari guide Harley was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were in tent 1 which had the best view of the river and animal crossing. We travelled with 4 people and we all enjoyed our stay very much."
"All of the rooms were beautifully renovated. The food was incredible, everyone in the staff went out of their way to make sure that guests were happy, and they called everyone by name. The Safari rides were over the top and our guide Stuart and his tracker Colin were very knowledgeable and professional. The jeeps were brand new and very comfortable. We were sad to leave after an incredible 3 night stay at Leopard Hills."
"Do you want to see the big five while being treated as a royalty? Book the Elephant Plains Game Lodge. Their facility is excellent, location is great, and the level of service is awesome. They will be waiting for you when you arrive because they know that you’re coming and they will pamper you on every step of the way: from the room personalized for your visit to the dining options tailored to your diet to sundowners and welcome back drinks. They make you feel like a family and you would not want to leave. Ever. "
"The minute we arrived we were greeted by lovely staff and elephants at the pool. What followed was a once in a lifetime experience.
The positives - Beds are super comfy with electric blankets for those cold nights and a fan for the warm days. The food was AMAZING. I LOVED being seated with fellow safari mates and getting to know people from across the world even though we are total introverts. Our guide Leighton was brilliant, knowledgeable and an excellent driver. And the wildlife…. Wow. I still can’t believe we saw so many lions, leopards and cheetahs, not to mention everything else. Being birders we were worried that we would be ignored and never get a moment to identify a bird but Leighton balanced the needs of the guests so well and had an excellent knowledge of all animals.
The only downsides… when we arrived we were so hungry but because our flight was delayed we missed the afternoon safari and had to wait until everyone returned before we could access any food - a wait of 2 hours was really tough and no one explained what was happening. Highly recommend explaining the daily itinerary to people on arrival and having snacks available for purchase.
Loved the Couples shower but unfortunately not enough hot water for 2 people.

"Staying at simbambili was the best experience of our life. The lodge was stunning, the food was exceptional, the attention to detail was like no other, but above all the team that worked there made you feel like family.
I looked at dozens of lodges before choosing for our honeymoon, so when I finally landed on Simbambili, it was due to the amazing reviews and location. When we arrived it was even better than what we could have imagined. Magical is really the word that comes to mind.
Our days started with our Ranger Solomon and Tracker Roy, took us out on our drives. They were so passionate and knowledgeable. Then came back to a very cheerful Caroline who welcomed us, and then every meal Rich was there to take care of us.
There was a watering hole at the lodge and constantly we were able to see so many animals coming up for a drink. Look no further for your dream safari, it’s at simbambili!"

The best area to stay in Manyeleti is within one of the private lodges inside the Manyeleti Game Reserve itself.
Staying within a lodge offers direct and exclusive access to prime wildlife viewing opportunities. These lodges are typically unfenced, allowing animals to roam freely through the property, often right past your accommodation. You'll find these lodges scattered throughout the reserve, each offering a unique perspective of the bushveld.
For couples seeking an exclusive and intimate safari experience, lodges in Manyeleti are an excellent choice. Many properties offer secluded suites, private plunge pools, and personalized game drives, great for a romantic getaway. The quiet setting means you can enjoy the sounds of the African bush undisturbed.
Families traveling with children will also find Manyeleti lodges accommodating. Many lodges offer family suites or villas, and some provide specialized activities for younger guests, such as guided bush walks around the lodge perimeter or educational programs.
When is the best time to go to Manyeleti?
The best time to visit Manyeleti is during the dry season, from May to October, as this period offers optimal wildlife viewing conditions.
During these months, the vegetation is sparse, and animals congregate around the limited water sources, making them easier to spot. The weather is generally clear and sunny, with cooler temperatures, particularly in the mornings and evenings, which is more comfortable for safari activities. This season is ideal for couples and solo travelers looking for a premium safari experience, as the predictability of animal sightings enhances the overall quality of game drives.
While the dry season is generally preferred, the wet season (November to April) also has its advantages, especially for birdwatching enthusiasts and those interested in seeing the landscape transform with lush greenery.
