Nyati Safari Lodge

A very beautiful place surrounded by nature one can wish to visit again

Pros: The reception from staff excellent , the game drive spot on enjoyed every trip

Amazing stay and very helpful staff!

Pros: All of the staff were super friendly and helpful, the rangers we were with (Kenneth, Edwin, and Brendan) were fantastic at making the game drives as comfortable as possible and worked really hard to find as many animals as possible. The food was always incredible, we love trying new things so it was great that there was a lot of variance in the meals. The room we had was beautiful and the facilities worked perfectly.

Cons: Nothing about the property, it was an amazing stay! Unfortunately it was raining a lot while we were there and we didn’t mange to see all the big 5; the lions and leopards were once again elusive. This is obviously not the fault of the lodge, but we did discover that on one of the morning drives there was a leopard sighting by one of the vehicles, who had then followed it for about 10 minutes but there was no communication about the whereabouts for other vehicles to try and see it, which was disappointing to learn but everything else was amazing.

Memories forever in the Heart

Pros: Based on Ofilants river,we were in chalet 2 ,river bungalow, extremely comfortable bed , with great facilities within the room and excellent views. Good food which was a set menu. 2x Game drives per day ,morning and early evening. Excellent supplies of free bottled water. Staff are welcoming and friendly, service was always served with a smile and excellent. No pressure to provide tips which was refreshing , there are two boxes in reception to add donations these are then shared between all staff within the department. Special mention for staff , Patricia, at the bar ,Dear in the restaurant and Edwin & Nick the Game drivers ! We did see 4 out of big 5 .. (missing Leopard)

Beautiful place

Pros: Location - views over the river Great guides and wildlife Great food

Cons: The scramble for safari game drive places is crazy. They know how many people want to go on the drives and how many guests per room but seats are first come first served. If you are in a big group and want to be together (we had 3 kids with us) then you have to make sure you get there early but then so does everyone else as they cater to large groups. So what could be a leisurely lunch becomes a slightly stressful race to make sure the family doesn’t get split up.

Lovely place, good value.

Pros: Location overlooking the river was beautiful. Lots of animals come close to the properety by the river. Staff all very friendly, helpful and knowledgable. Rooms very clean and good standard. Food also very good standard. Would return.

Cons: Nothing comes to mind.

Strongly recommended

Pros: Excellent stay, relax and chill, enjoy the daily game drives

Perfection

Pros: Everything. The staff was lovely. The view is phenomenal. The cuisine is really good, and if you have food restrictions the chef adapts around. The game drive were great, the rangers really know their stuff, and the area. It is all respectful of the nature and of the animals. You have blankets for every drive. Thé chalet was cosy. When we arrived it was my wife’s birthday, and they had prepared the room with flowers and a bottle of sparkling wine. And for dîner we had an other bottle, and the chef baked a whole birthday cake for her. So sweet. We saw a lot of animals, lions and their cubs, elephants and babies, rhinos, giraffes, wild cat, impalas, and so many others. The rangers are really knowledgeable, they can answer all your questions. I really recommend.

Absolutely amazing

Pros: Everybody were expectional in their attention to detail and ensuring a great guest experience.

Thank you for this incredible experience – we’ll definitely be back!

Pros: Our stay at the safari lodge was simply fantastic – even better than we had hoped for. We were a group of six and were lucky enough to receive an upgrade to the Cheetah Villa. The villa was spacious, stylish, and very comfortable – we didn’t miss a thing. A real highlight was the heated pool. The food was delicious and lovingly prepared – every dish was a treat. A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful team on site: our safari guide Henry, who led us through the wilderness with great knowledge and passion, housekeeper Precious, who took such warm care of us, and chef Godfrey, who spoiled us with fantastic meals. Even though we didn’t get to see all of the Big Five, the safaris were a true highlight – full of exciting encounters, stunning nature, and unforgettable moments.

Great experience at an awesome place!

Pros: The accommodation was spacious and comfortable. The restaurant has an amazing view and great food. The staff was friendly and very helpful The game drives were amazing with Nickel as a ranger

Cons: Maybe two options at dinner would be nice
