Absolutely excellent from start to finish. We had 3 nights and 6 safari's. Our ranger, Ruan, was brilliant at finding the animals, ranging from elephants,giraffe,baboons,buffalo, rhino, hippo etc. Every safari was a wonderful adventure and he informed us about each and every animal including the birds. The lodge at Bayethe was luxurious and the food amazing. All the staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I would go back every year if I could afford it. 😁

We stayed at the Riverdene lodge which caters for children. It has a kids club with a large playground full of hanging bridges, rock climbing wall, zip wire, etc. They also had staff that would play board games and football with our children. There were also little touches like on arrival. The kids found backpacks, hats and activity books related to the upcoming game drives waiting for them in their bedroom which they loved. The game drives were amazing. We had brilliant sightings on every drive even on the day where there was bitterly cold wind. Our guide Monde was engaging with the children, he had a good sense of humour which went down well with the kids, he was friendly, answered all our questions with enthusiasm and interest, and made every effort to help us enjoy our stay as much as possible. Both kids are now smitten with doing Safari holidays. The lodge itself was beautiful with fantastic views. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. They were attentive to little details. The food was amazing and they're certainly was a lot of it. This is definitely a five-star experience and we loved it so much. We are already planning our return. Fyi our kids were 7 and 10yrs.

Where to begin!? Shamwari is beyond phenomenal! We stayed at the Sindile lodge on our honeymoon and it truly was the most British place I’ve ever seen! The rooms are beautiful- we had a private pool and balcony looking over the watering hole so saw elephants, zebras, warthogs, buffalo etc while staring in our room! It was truly breathtaking. In addition, in this lodge you have your own butler which was incredible- they really go the extra mile to make your stay extra special. For example we received private dining, surprise cocktails and baths run for our return from game drives. Our stay was all inclusive (I believe this is always part of the package) and the food and drinks were outstanding- we didn’t even need to order drinks most of the time as our butler would just keep topping us up or bringing us surprises! Finally, the thing that really makes Shamwari worth the visit has to be the animals- our ranger was incredible and was able to track everything- we were so lucky with our sightings! Most importantly though, when you visit here, you can see how the money is spent ensuring the conservation of this area and you are given opportunity to visit some of these projects and feel a part of something really special. We 100% will return in the future for a special occasion!
