"We loved our 3 nights stay! The whole staff was very friendly and present when needed.

We saw the big 5 from really close, multiple times! We loved the terrace in our lodge facing the river, during breaks we would watch elephants, waterbuck and hippos cross the river. The food was diverse and very good....

Top Umbabat Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Bushveld Terrace Safari Hotel, Lodge & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Located 1 minute from the Phalaborawa Gate, this is an excellent location for visiting the Northern Part of Kruger National Park. The included breakfast was excellent and evening dinners had a great selection at reasonable prices. Dining is outside under the South African stars. The room was large with a great view into the wild. I would highly recommend staying here on a Safari Journey."

"We loved our 3 nights stay! The whole staff was very friendly and present when needed.

The food was diverse and very good. Ralph made sure we had everything we needed and was so welcoming."

Geiger's Camp by NEWMARK

8/10 Good

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Geiger’s camp, the staff, guide and tracker go above and beyond to ensure you have a great experience. The staff was very friendly and outgoing and took the time to learn more about all the guests and take a genuine interest in where we came from and our different experiences. One thing that was a little disappointing for us was that we never got to have the boma experience, which was something we were really looking forward to. Also while the food itself was quite good, the menu consisted of main courses serving varieties of game meats. While I myself enjoyed it, it would have been nice to have a heads up or alternative options for those who aren’t feeling as adventurous. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay."

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!"
