"What a wonderful lodge. From the very first minute, we felt right at home—thanks to the warm welcome from owner Thabita and the cozy, inviting atmosphere throughout the lodge. Our room was beautiful, featuring a bathtub, a shower, an outdoor "bush shower," and hot tub and a view overlooking the waterhole. Every meal, crafted with a special twist by chef/owner Tino, completely blew us away. We absolutely loved all the game drives in the Big Five reserve (Greater Kruger). And, after visiting...

Top Umbabat Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Tomo Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t tell you how much we loved our stay. The room was beautiful, the property was lovely. Food and hospitality were excellent. Our guide Jason and tracker Pete were so good. We saw all of the big five and they got us close enough to get awesome pictures. The property has a small number of rooms so there was plenty of space around the pool and other areas during leisure time. We felt like the staff tried to anticipate our needs and they even had complimentary laundry service. Overall it was an amazing stay and worth every penny."

Simbavati River Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our 3 nights stay! The whole staff was very friendly and present when needed. We loved our drives with Sarah and Joseph, their knowledge, patience and enthusiasm made the drives extra special. They made great effort to see the animals we wanted to see on each drives. 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. 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!"
