The cuisine was upscale and could be personally tailored to...

Nyati Safari Lodge

Nyati Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I had a fabulous time spent at Nyati. Arranged collection from Hoedspruit airport and on arrival at the lodge a lovely welcome and drink then shown to our luxury tent. A stunning view from the balcony of our tent overlooking the river and able to see hippos and crocodile. Game drives were excellent and rangers all very friendly and knowledgeable. The food is amazing and thoroughly enjoyed breakfast , lunch and dinner and the wines served were also very good with the evening meal. Patricia (Mrs Rainbow) behind the bar was brilliant. Would highly recommend this place."
