The game drives provided as part of the stay were out of this world. So amazing. The perfect way to celebrate my daughter’s 21st. The management were super helpful and bent over backwards for my two kids who both have special needs. Would definitely go again but I don’t think my bank balance would cope! Once in a lifetime trip. October was the perfect month to visit. Rangers highly knowledgeable and you get allocated the same one each game drive so you can build a relationship with them.

The rooms are beautiful and well equipped. Although Expedia mentions a full-board dining regime it is best to ask before your trip when they expect you to come in for which meal. We arrived around 7pm after a game drive and were told by the receptionist we could have lunch the next day and went straight on to dinner that night. The next day we were told 1 hour before lunch by another receptionist that we had forfeited it and were expected to pay again for it. Disappointing attitude from a hotel where clearly many of the staff members do their best to give customers a good time. So overall a nice lodge but next time we will be staying at another one. ##### Christophe ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 30 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Contact with the property prior to our arrival was easy and quick. And from the moment we arrived to warm towels and wonderful welcome drinks on the patio, everything was lovely, every detail considered, and every staff member was amazing. The food was some of the best I've ever had. Rebecca, the chef, created the dishes that were magical. TRY the soup - every meal! We felt welcomed everywhere we went. There were snacks and drinks before game drives - excellent. There were chocolates on our pillows at night - excellent. Our game drives were led by Answer who was knowledgeable about animals, plants, and traditions. I could listen to him teach me about southern Africa all day. People say that you should buy experiences, not things. I'm telling you, this was the best money I've ever spent. Thank you. ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### THAIS 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Experiência Inesquecível em Meio à Natureza Minha estadia no Shepherd's Tree Game Lodge foi simplesmente incrível. Desde a chegada, a equipe se mostrou extremamente carinhosa e dedicada, proporcionando uma recepção de boas-vindas calorosa que fez toda a diferença. Os safaris oferecidos pelo lodge são espetaculares, com guias experientes que tornam cada passeio emocionante e repleto de descobertas. A oportunidade de observar a vida selvagem de perto, em seu habitat natural, foi uma experiência mágica e única. Os quartos são espaçosos, muito confortáveis e decorados com um toque de elegância rústica, garantindo descanso absoluto após um dia cheio de aventuras. Além disso, é ótimo saber que há muitos brasileiros por lá. Recomendo fortemente para quem busca aventura, conforto e um atendimento excepcional em um cenário de tirar o fôlego. ##### THAIS Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Shaun 24 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very nice lodge.

Our accommodation in villas 31 was absolutely amazing, the service and food were incredible and our safari guide Sean was awesome! We had some great sightings of the animals in the park on every drive he took us on! I would 100% recommend this lodge to anyone wanting an amazing South African adventure!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7EB0CB70A1348DDAD52A412C7857AD50CE7A66221584589200939.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9917958374A83AA1C5CB9D9629C41D959229081B1584589161128.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4D12C91D3E5CFBEC9F9253C1081236FE7FC62CEB1584589173219.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AA39CF3F79CE994BA31075411D91E97123AFCDF61584589188702.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### mark Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniela 29 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente!

It is all about the safari and the safari was brilliant. In our three night stay we saw all the big five which was fantastic. The lodge itself is very good but looking a little tired in places. Our shower in particular was falling apart, although the room itself was of a high standard. Service was a little hit and miss. Very good most of the time but lacking when it really mattered. I would recommend Shepherd's Tree. Very good by South African standards and decent by European standards. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ronaldo 20 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente opção!

Do início ao fim Recomendo. Desde a chegada, com uma recepção excelente com welcome drink e toalhinhas quentes. Manobrista super atencioso. Almoço, jantar e café da manhã excelentes. Os games (dois por dia) muito bom, deram cobertores pra gente e conseguimos ver e tirar belas fotos. Tudo muito bom. Ficamos dois dias e foi uma experiência incrível. Os quartos são bem privativos, cama king size, banheira perfeita. ##### Gustavo Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Restaurant and Food was superb, the Bar and outside space was great. The Staff were excellent. The Bedroom was great with amazing views but a little tatty round the edges, some things in the room were broken or damaged, it didn't affect the stay but for the price you expect perfection. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 10 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A beautiful place.. food was excellent, staff was excellent, game drives amazing.
