"We had a wonderful stay! We honestly booked without expectations and were blown away. The staff has your whole day planned and makes sure you are cared for and pampered the entire time. The massage therapist was amazing! Our guide and tracker (Mark and Nickel) made the drives completely memorable. Our butler was also very professional and accommodating to our preferences! Owners take pride in their property and went out to their way to make sure our experience was perfect. My family highly...

Top Umbabat Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Royal Game Guest House

8/10 Good

"Property is a little tired and in need of updating nevertheless for the price and friendly and helpful staff it’s well worth staying with quick access to Kruger park gate so would recommend"

Tomo Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The most incredible place we have ever stayed in. The service was amazing, the food was wonderful, the setting was incredible and the safari guides were just the best. I couldn’t fault anything about this place."

Simbavati River Lodge

10/10 Excellent

Baobab Ridge Private Lodge

8/10 Good

"The lodge is lovely, game drives well organised. Every effort is taken to ensure your comfort. Our driver/ tracker was polite, friendly and well informed. We saw lions, rhinos, elephants, hynae, jackal, zebra, giraffes hippos... but no leopard! The food is pretty average and your preferences that they ask about are pretty much ignored. I had said no pasta but that is what I got and a bland and tasteless one at that with no sauce. In particular the dinners lack imagination, especially if you are vegetarian."

Nyala Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing stay - a beautiful setting, amazing staff than go above and beyond, fantastic rooms, and unbelievable safari drives with knowledge and super friendly guides. 10/10 experience, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone!"

Simbavati Hilltop Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Simbavati Hilltop is top notch! From the 9 times per day (yes, that is NINE times) that you are fed, to the staff, game drives, views and rooms! Not only do you have your own plunge pool overlooking the river, but there is also a shared, larger pool. There is also a daybed at the room, outdoor shower, fully stocked complimentary mini bar and very comfortable bed! We saw hippo and elephant from our room. On game drives, lions feasting on a giraffe, hyena and wild dogs interacting, 2 leopards and more. We have now stayed at all of the Simbavati lodges in Timbavati and Klasarie and they are all excellent! Highly recommend!"

La Lechere Guest House
