Top Umbabat Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Bushvilla Umoja Kruger - wildlife without fences

10/10 Excellent

"Wir waren leider nur drei Nächte in dieser wunderschönen Unterkunft! Am Ende des Urlaubs, war es der perfekte Ort um zu entspannen und die Natur zu genießen. Das Haus ist sehr schön und sehr gut ausgestattet. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Und die Tierbeobachtungen von der Terrasse waren das Highlight!Eine tolle Unterkunft und sehr nette Gastgeber, die Kommunikation war einwandfrei. Wir hoffen wieder in diese Gegend zu kommen und würden die Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen und weiterempfehlen."

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."

Geiger's Camp by NEWMARK

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Geigers Canp for our honeymoon after our initial lodge closed due to flooding, and could not have been happier with our stay! The property is rustic, beautiful, and well kept and the staff are very kind and welcoming. Every aspect of our stay at the property (especially the food) was excellent. We also had the team of Josh and David as our guide/tracker for the game drives and had an amazing experience, with plenty of Big 5 sightings along with many other exciting animals that Timbavati has to offer. We would definitely recommend to anyone considering a stay at Geigers. One piece of advice to the property, I highly recommend marketing Geigers Camp on social media like Instagram with its own page! It’s such a great property and deserves its own spotlight!"

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!"
