Excellent service. Staff were veryhelpful. Super guide who took us on amazing safaris. Would definitely recommend

6/10 Good

Very nice lodge but partly disappointing
Very nice lodge with the best „tents“ on our trip. Great staff at the restaurant, helpful front-office manager ( not the one that arrived later). Security issues and no reaction by the management/ on a written feedback. That concerns most and does not promise a learning. Were also the last comfortable game drives (just talking here about the car and roads maintenance) „private pool“ was 1x1 m.

Very Enjoyable Experience
Really enjoyed my first ever safari at the Nkomazi Game Reserve, the tents were spacious and comfortable, the food at the lodge was fantastic and the staff were super friendly. I was very lucky to be guided by Vicky on all of my game drives where we saw lots of animals while driving through some incredible scenery around the reserve, I liked the fact there was no guarantee on the game drives that we would see animals and that we had to actually go and find them - added to the sense of seeing these animals in their natural habitat Would definitely recommend the Nkomazi Game Reserve, if you come here you’ll more than likely see most of the animals you want to see but may not see lots of them, but the experience of trying to find these animals is great and the time you can spend with any animals you find is makes each sighting really worth it.

Exceptional experience and stay. Everything was great, just halaal options on food can be improved but other then that, absolutely great accomodation.
Tahera, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nkomazi is such a beautiful and unique place with luxury beds and amenities to relax. We got into the rhythm of waking up early for a drive, relaxing and napping during the day, then going back out for the evening drive. The staff was very welcoming and always there to greet you with a hot towel and juice or a drink when returning to the camp. Our ranger was very knowledgeable and fun to go out with each day. You have the same guide for your entire stay so each drive builds upon the last and we got to see and learn so much about the wildlife at the reserve. The place is so beautiful, it is so much more than just ticking off the “big five” from your list. Remember it is not a zoo, so don’t go expecting to be presented with each animal quickly. You take your time and look for animals in a much more natural environment and feel the anticipation and luck of when you find something. During our five night stay we viewed cheetahs, a leopard, lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, ostrich, warthogs, waterbuck, impala, and so much more! We look forward to making a return visit in the future!

Service is very, very good. The facility and the amenities are all well thought out. There are not as many animals in the reserve as there are in a national park, but we were lucky and saw many, many animals. It is possible, however, to go days here without seeing lions or elephants.

Alleen de rit vanaf de gate naar de lodge is al een ervaring. Nkomazi is de enige lodge op de 15000 hectare grond en de luxe tenten liggen aan een mooie rivier. Service is uitstekend, van ontbijt tot diner en de tenten beschikken over alle comfort. Gamedrives van 3u in de late middag en de vroege ochtend. Kortom: geweldig!

Our stay was very good. Only one complaint was the walk way to our tent. Not to easy for older people at night.

Luxurious "glamping" on a beautiful reserve
Lovely property with very comfortable luxury tents. The staff could not have done a better job making us feel at home and helping us experience the wildlife and gorgeous terrain. Food was delicious and very nicely presented. The game drives were a delight-something different at every turn and the knowledge and enthusiasm of the guides was inspiring. Thanks to all for making our stay so very special.

Esperienca da sogno
Unica lodge nel parco!! Tende da sogno africano con vista del bush. Ognuna ha la sua privacy. Game drive in 4 o 6 persone, molto personale, con mini picnic. Niente zanzare. Peró per essere fine estate (febbraio) era freschino. Mangiare curato, la colazione é più o meno solo a base di uova, ma sì è anche nel mezzo del bush, non si puó pretendere pane fresco e salame.

Tolle Lodge in schöner Lage
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und hatten eine schöne Zeit im Nkomazi Game Reserve. Die Safaris waren außergewöhnlich schön mit einem tollen Ranger (Thank you Celebrate). Die Unterkunft toll, das Essen exzellent. Wir kommen sicherlich wieder.
