Truly amazing. We’ve never been so well looked after in our lives! From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. The staff are friendly and the location gives the most amazing views whilst having meals. The rooms were so comfortable and were super clean. The entire property was well maintained throughout. Johan and Adelina ran everything impeccably and organised a couple of trips for us; the bush walk being a highlight. Our game drives were simply wonderful with Evans and Thomas who were happy to pass on their knowledge of the bush. We saw all that we wanted to, and more, often being so close to the animals whilst always feeling safe with our guides. Special thanks to Shirley, Rizen, Josina, Rueben and chefs Helen and Jeanette for their care and kindness. Thank you to all the team. Thank you for looking after us so well whilst we were with you, you made us feel like family. We will be hurrying back.

Chisomo Safari Camp is alive with the old-world romance of safari - canvas and thatch opening to shaded gathering spaces, lantern light, the hum of conversation, and the bush just beyond.

Not our first time in the Karongwe reserve, but our first time at Chisomo. Fully tarred road from Hoedspruit to Karongwe and then only 15-20 minutes from the gate to the camp. This is an excellent tented camp, with lots of thought going into their tents. We even had electric blankets on the bed and hot water bottles on game drive (May). The tent was so comfortable, housekeeping is excellent. We could charge equipment in our rooms, wifi was excellent and streaming easy. Very impressive! The food was all buffet style but of great quality. No complaints. Staff were friendly and service was great. Game drives have never dissapointed here and this trip was no different. With the skills of Polly and Eddie over 4 drives we had 3 leopard sightings, lion on kill sighting, cheetah on kill, rhino and the very special cheetah on foot. We were so impressed, we booked again for next weekend.

Everything! This place is a complete sanctuary, for animals and humans alike. From the warm welcome to the final goodbye, we enjoyed every minute. The whole place is beautifully decorated, the rooms comfy, and our private terrace overlooking the river was so peaceful. And the game drives, just wow! Adolph (guide) and Mosco (tracker) worked tirelessly to find us the Big Five, finding a beautiful female leopard and elephants for us on our last morning. I loved how they had to really work to find the animals in the thick bush, so that when we found them it felt like a real reward! And as for the food, you couldn’t go hungry if you tried! Every meal is delicious and there is SO much of it! Don’t search any further, just book. You wont regret it.

The staff was extremely friendly and the food was wonderful, they grilled steak, meats & other delicious food on an open fire , home made brioche , bread complimented starter soups the three course meal finished with homemade desserts. (All inkl in the package ) . The chef was very innovative & interested in serving only the best quality food ! the game drives were sensational. The drivers were very professional and knowledgeable about the different animals. Only after 2 days we already seen the big five except the leopard . We were served an aperitif in the sunset providing sensational pictures after each game drive and were able to choose our preferred beverage upfront . The river lodge we stayed in , was very peaceful and the staff was accommodating , greeted us on return with hot towels and showed utmost interest in making this stay a really special one ! We would highly recommend this game reserve and the benchmark has been set at a very high standard .

We had a fantastic time at Kamoka camp. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. In the area, there are lots of animals walking around. The tiny house exactly matched the pictures and Camilla was a great host. Additionally, Camilla showed us the work that she does for the NGO just around the corner of Kamoka camp, where wounded animals are being cared for and the local population is being taught about the animals, the environment and more. The pool there was a nice extra to cool off, as it got quite hot… We would definitely recommend the accommodation. Thanks again Camilla for the great time!

This is the most beautiful place you will stay in Blyde River Canyon area. All the experience is top notch! From the extremely friendly staff that will accommodate you like royalty, to the most spectacular views of the mountains, the twice a day experiences and all the knowledge about such an intriguing species such as the Cape Vultures. One of our favourites was the visit to the Permaculture Camp where you can see with your own eyes where the food served at the lodge comes from as well as learn the basic concepts of the nature cycle that guides Permaculture principles and techniques, which can be applied everywhere on the planet. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious tents with the best quality linen and comforting views of the mountain and the Blyde bush. The top indulgence experience is to enjoy the outside shower under the stars and using the natural bio products from Africology, offered as complementary. There is no aircon in the rooms since it is an off grid property, nevertheless there is a ceiling fan that will keep you well ventilated. The food and kitchen staff were very professional at attending our dietary requirements, though there is a need to keep investing in vegan and plant based recipes to be in harmony with the Permaculture concept too. The fresh swimming pool was a delight in the middle of the hot reason and I cannot stress enough the kindness and professionalism of all the staff. This is a 6* experience in nature in one of the most beautiful places in Africa.
