"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.

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.

We had an amazing time. Our guide Juan was really committed to making sure we saw every animal, bird and even the insects that live in Kariega. Great food and service . Highly recommend a 3 day Safari. You won't be disappointed

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.

Great location, rooms and service. Okay food. No wifi in room and poor wifi in lobby locations.

8/10 Very Good

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.

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.

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.

Umgeben von schöner Natur und vielfältiger Tierwelt beginnt für Frühaufsteher die Morgensafari bereits um 6Uhr. Ein faszinierendes Erlebnis, das niemand sich entgehen lassen sollte. Ein persönlicher Guide betreut einen während des Aufenthaltes.

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.
