“Nice staff, animal sighting needs to be the core focus and this lodge could be best-in-class in the “value-for-money” lo”

1) Manager and host are nice: Renee and Charity 2) Rooms are nicely cleaned 3) If you want a handful (maximum) of T shirts to be washed, they will hand wash them for free and dry them out under the sun, it’s ready in 24 hours (unless it’s pouring rain)

“From the kids: Absolutlely Mind Blowing! Too Good to be True!”

It was a 4 nights family stay with 8 & 11 years. Our tracker Moses and guide Craig are perfect team together. Moses went on foot for hours to track leopard for us in the woods, we felt the dedication and genuine enthusiasm all the way through. Craig’s smile and wide range of animals and plant knowledge will for sure stay with the kids. This is our first safari, it has exceeded all our expectations, from animal sight seeing (all big five!) to being spoiled by the staffs (thanks to Renee) with food and drink (you will never run out of options). Considering how remote the lodge is, I think it is a WONDER! We will definitely come back!

“All the staff worked together to provide a charming personal service and facilitate an amazing experience.”

This as my first safari experience. I loved the rustic luxury.

“Very basic, overpriced and uncomfortable excuse for a lodge”

The water hole was easy to access, very busy especially with elephants The guide and trackers were knowledgable and engaged The food is ok and they made a very good effort to accomodate gluten free

“Wonderful bush experience”

Superb location. Incredible game sightings. Lodge is on a pleasant waterhole. Staff fantastic and rangers very knowledgable and enthusiastic. Would definitely go back 10/10 experience

“Fantastic stay - very special.”

Incredible location and standards and very relaxed

“Wilderness with comfort and a smile”

Exceptional service, with a smile all the time. The Guides and Trackers are very knowledgeable about the wildlife. They go out of there way to make your stay comfortable. Every morning they make you coffee in the bush, and in the evenings you get a sundowner in the bush during your game drive. A scrumptious breakfast is served after the game drive, and local inspired dinners after your game drive in the evenings. Each time they set the tables in surprise locations around the camp, either around a boma or next to a watering hole.

The safari's were incredible. The atmosphere in the lodge is incredible, just as the frinedliness of the staff.

“A gem in the Timbavati that leaves you feeling refreshed & relaxed while seeing the big 5!”

The Kambaku staff work as a team to ensure that each guest is looked after from arrival to departure. Even if the assigned hostess or guide was not available someone else was happy to assist in anyway. A special touch is the photo taken at the end of the trip which is sent to guests as a memento ............. it just adds to the experience

“Simply superb!”

Probably the best part of our South Africa trip! Everything was perfect! The safari drives were amazing (shout out to Eric and Gideon), the room was spacious and clean, the food was excellent, and the whole lodge is very well kept and maintained. Highly recommended!

“Simply Superb. We will be back!”

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were treated superbly by the lodge manager , safari guides and staff. Nothing too much trouble. The game drives were exceptional - Gideon and Eric were great company, very informative and tuned their information to the guests (we have been on safari many times) providing some real detailed knowledge. Food was great and a really great atmosphere to the whole experience.

Exceptional service; brilliant ranger and tracker in the shape of Gerrard and Stanley who's teamwork was a wonderful experience to behold. We were in awe of the wildlife and intimate understanding of nature. Truly inspirational and boundless thanks! We shall return.

“Father-daughter trip”

Beautiful gamedrives with excellent staff! Friendliness of all the staff.

“Welcoming lodge, amazing safaris”

Amazing safaris - solid meals

“Best place to stay when visiting Safari”

In my honest opinion, everything is great with Kambaku Safari Lodge. Food is excellent and exceeded my expectations, game drives are super worth it, and the guide and tracker will do their upmost to ensure you can see the big 5. And I manage to see them at least twice. Every single staff are really out to try to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. I also like the part when during brunch and dinner, one of the guides will be sitting down with everyone. It's a good way to ask them questions, learn more about the area, their experiences, what are being done to help protect the animals etc Gideon and Eric are among the best guides and tracker. Every time we spotted something, they just know how to position the vehicle to ensure you are in the best position to take pictures. Yes, you will not go wrong visiting this lodge

Super nice lodge ! Good guides and trackers !
