"I can't say enough great things about our unforgettable stay at this game reserve in South Africa. The service was truly top-notch, with guides who were not only knowledgeable but also passionate about what they do. The food was absolutely fabulous, and the special touch of having our room decorated upon arrival for our elopement was beyond thoughtful. We were thrilled to witness all the animals up close, making our experience truly magical and perfect in every way. If you're looking for a remarkable safari adventure with impeccable hospitality, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!"

Wonderful place, people, animals. Fantastic experience. We were blown away by our time here. Our guide Melissa was excellent — considerate both of the guests and of the animals we saw / interacted with. We saw elephants, lions, white rhinos, hippos, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, ostrich and many kinds of deer / antelope birds. In most cases, we came within 1-3 meters of the animals; we would often position in their path / vicinity, and they would walk up to and past us as they went on their way. They seemed very comfortable with us in the vehicles, even though they’re obviously still wild. (Although it’s a private reserve, the animals feed themselves off the land / each other. Note that some of the animals, such as giraffe, are not strictly native to this region but seem to be thriving.) Melissa taught us a lot about the animals, their behaviours and interactions with each other. She paced the drives well, so we had quiet time to just appreciate sights and sounds; as well as “missions”, when she wanted to get us close to a particular set of animals that she knew were in good position. Room and facilities were also outstanding. Food and alcohol, included in price, were solid.

This was one of the most amazing experiences I had in my life and I would highly recommend. One piece of information I wish we had known before arriving. 1) Checkin time is 2 pm and this is exactly the tone they serve lunch . We had eaten before we arrived- but they were expecting us to eat . 2. We did our first game drive at 3:30 pm on the day we arrived. I only had a light Hoodie we stayed out till the sunset then drove back in the dark It was much cooler than we expected. They do offer blankets and ponchos which is helpful, but the next day I took my raincoat as a second layer as well as my Hoodie and I felt so much better 3. You you have a set routine for your stay which includes times of the game drives and meals. There are two game drives a day one in the morning and one in the afternoon. You have the same guide throughout your stay and the same group of people which is quite nice as a camaraderie builds up. We had a variety of nationalities from German swish Australian and us from the UK. The staff are exceptional from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave you feel welcome and very looked after. Our game host was called Melissa. She was an exceptionally safe driver also very confident and decisive in every situation. We saw lots of animals everything that you’d want to. She asked us what we wanted to see. We also did River Cruise as part of one of our game drives. The Lodge itself was incredibly luxurious and beautiful with an amazing view.

Everything was perfect. The personnel was outstanding and the guide of our game drives, Allan were amazing. Only one recommendation: the only thing lagging behind all the wonderful other aspects is the cuisine. Too little fresh produce and often not really healthy food . Would be worthwhile to improve the gastronomic aspects of Ukhozi, especially given the high price of accomodation.

The reserve has comfortable chalets. The game drives were amazing thou sometimes were felt borderline dangerous due to very close encounters with lions and especially with the large herd of elephants with babies, that became agitated by our car proximity. Fortunately, all encounters ended peacefully. Our guide/driver Brendon had 21 years of experience in the reserve, thanks to him we had unforgettable experience of finding and meting almost all the species in reserve, as I mentioned mostly face to face: lions (full family of 7), elephants, buffalos, rhinos, hippos (that's 4 out of big 5), not to mention zebras, elands, springboks, wildebeests, herds of giraffes to mention a few. Would recommend visiting the reserve, We spent there full 2 days what was more than enough to not repeat same experiences, if we were staying longer.

Sehr nettes Personal und auch eine schöne Unterkunft-allerdings etwas renovierungsbedürftig. Leitungswasser war leider gelb. Safari Fahrten waren gut. Das Essen hätte definitiv besser sein können - besonders für Vegetarier.

Super Safari Lodge

Trotz verfühter Anreise standen uns beiden Bungalows bereits zur Verfügung. Wir wurden herzlich durch das immer zuvorkommend und hilfsbereite Personal empfangen. Während unseres 2 tägigen Aufenthalt stand uns unser persönlicher Guide ständig zur Verfügung. Trotz des schlechten Wetters (kalt und regnerisch)haben alle Safaris stattgefunden und unsere Erwartungen wurden voll Erfüllt. Einziger "Makel" war das unser Guide leider kein Wort Deutsch sprechen konnte.

Brilliant Experience!

We were on honeymoon. Stayed 3 nights (about right) Everything was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff, the lodge, our chalet, the food, our ranger.. Couldn't fault a thing. Saw so many animals, around every corner there was something new. Brendon our ranger was fantastic, full of info. Well worth the upgrade from main lodge etc. I couldn't rate our experience high enough.

Teuer - aber das Geld wert !

Sehr gut durchorganisiert - zur Nutzung des Zimmers bleibt bei 1 - 2 Nächten Buchung kaum Zeit. Die Safari mir Rose war spektakulär, erstens wegen ihrer Person und ihrer unleugbaren Liebe zu ihrem Job - was sich auf alle Teilnehmer übertrug. Sehr gut auch die enorme Tierdichte im Park - der Vorteil eines teuren Private Game Reserves. Ich war zuerst wegen des Preises skeptisch- muss nun jedoch sagen : Es hat sich voll gelohnt ! Während unseres Afrika Urlaubs hatten wir in 3 versch. Unterkünften Safaris - dies hier war (zähneknirsch) die teuerste aber auch mit deutlichem Abstand die beste von allen.

A worthwhile experience

Stayed two nights. Due to poor weather we unfortunately missed the final morning game drive. Whilst different vehicles would not have prevented that because streams and animal tracks became swollen and impassible we did comment that we had experienced another game drive with open sided but canvas covered roof vehicles which protected occupants from rain, sun and potential animal charges without losing the openness of a game drive safari experience and viewing platform. Additionally the other experience offered much higher standards of room fixtures and fittings for a much lesser amount of money. Many may be disappointed by room standards and the reality of the "plunge pool" The guide and staff were however very informative and helpful. The restaurant staff were brilliant in helping to offer food suitable for my wifes rather specialist medical requirement diet.

Tolle Lage und gemütliche Betten

Eine Lodge zum Wohlfühlen. Große und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Zimmer. Wir hätten es begrüßt, wenn auf der Terrasse noch 2 Liegen gestanden hätten, um den wundervollen Blick in die Landschaft zu geniessen und sich zwischen den Drives zu erholen. Ein Manko war lediglich der etwas lahme Frühstücksservice.
