Amazing trip! 100% recommend

Pros: This safari was absolutely unforgettable, and a huge part of that was our brilliant guide, MJ. His knowledge of the wildlife was outstanding — from animal behaviour to tracking and the finer details we would never have noticed ourselves. He made every game drive fascinating and engaging and personalised to what we wanted to see that day! The staff were incredibly kind, warm and attentive throughout our stay, always going out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The food was also amazing — consistently delicious and beautifully prepared. The camp itself felt very special thanks to the small number of tents. We even had the place to ourselves for 2 nights, which added to the sense of magic and exclusivity. They even set up private lunch spots just for us, surrounded by nature, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. An exceptional safari from start to finish — we couldn’t have asked for more.

Cons: N/A

Incredible.

Pros: Idyllic get away with only 5 luxury tents, amazing team and exceptional game drives. Saw incredible number of animals all in excellent condition.

Cons: I am over 6 foot tall and the beds were slightly short for me. Booking.com did not inform me that you need to book in at Mabula Lodge from where you are picked up and driven in a game viewing vehicle to the exclusive and wonderful Kwafabusi bush camp.

Pros: The tented camp is beautifully located with a view across the savanna from the main lapa. Facilities are super and this venue is specifically suited for a relaxing bush getaway. Staff and the cuisine were excellent. The tented accommodation has plenty of space to stretch the legs and the decor gives one the feeling that you could be anywhere in Africa. Sightings were fantastic with our ranger being extremely knowledgeable and super respectful. Highly recommend this venue.

Pros: The service and hospitality of this place is absolutely incredible. The daily safaris were so well planned and our guides Noku and M.J ensured that we didn’t miss any opportunities to spot animals up close. The food served was 10/10, each meal was thoughtfully curated, with multiple courses great both in creativity and flavour. Overall, this was far more than just a trip, it was an experience filled with adventure, and unforgettable memories. We would highly recommend it to anyone.

Cons: Nothing to highlight.

We had a very nice stay

Pros: Very friendly staff, good location in the Mabula Game Reserve, very good food. The guide was excellent. We saw rhinos, cheetahs, and lions. We had a very nice stay.

We had a lovely stay Would recommend it

Pros: The food at Kwafubesi was excellent. Of the best i've had at any lodge. Most of the staff were lovely. Ambience very nice. Beds big and comfortable with beautiful fresh linen.

Cons: The plumbing needs serious attention in the tents. The bath literally trickles and took 30 minutes to run a small bath. Bathrooms pretty outdated and need renovation. Ranger was quite knowledgeable but enjoyed talking about himself a little bit too much. At the drinks stop he first used the bathroom (no problem), then spent 10 minutes at least setting up drinks table and decorating it with branches and flowers, then taking photos for another while, and only then did he go about getting his guests a drink.

Definitely recommend for a romantic weekend away

Pros: Loved the place. We felt special! It’s an absolute unique experience and we absolutely loved it! The food was also delicious!

Cons: For the staff to be clearer on where we can find drinks etc given that it was unlimited
