Great Lodge. Fantastic service, amazing safari experience with great ranger. life-time experience.

everything perfect with shindzela. Staff very helpfull, answered all the questions after booking and during our stay. All the safaris started on time and our guide Sam did everything he could to give us the best experience always with a smile on his face. We saw 4 of the big fives on first safari and all in second one, but all experiences are different one from another and it also depends on how lucky you are. All the food were delicious and everything was very organized with clear rules. The tents are confortable with private bathroom and hot water. Water hole in front of shindzela attracted lot of elephants, antilopes and also hyenas, it's a good bonus on stay there

Super friendly staff with warm welcome and attention. The amenities and accommodation were on point with lot of comfort while being made traditionally in the heart of the reserve with respect with the surroundings. The food served four times a day was great with variety and large quantities, making us discover local cuisine. The Safari drives went perfectly fine, we were able to see all the animals living in the reserve with great respect and explanations from our guide and tracker.

Stunning tents with tasteful interior and spectacular view right at the waterhole watching the hippos and wildlife. Delicious healthy food and a huge variety of drinks to choose from. Great courteous friendly staff and service. Incredible game drives with highly qualified Rangers.

This is near perfection. We enjoyed our stay from beginning to the end. I am not use to give a 10 but they totally deserved it. Our guide Landon and our tracker Jacky both with a massive experience definitely went above and beyond to let us have a wonderful game experience. The lodge staff were exceptional, always there to help us or offer us anything. Our suite was stunning (maybe even too big for us two).

We stayed 3 nights at King's Camp out of a total of 11 nights in South Africa and this was by far the best part of our entire trip. The place is immaculate - very large and comfortable rooms, extremely friendly staff and a beautiful location in the TImbavati game reserve. We were taken out for dawn and dusk game drives by our own dedicated ranger Cynet and spotter Sunnyboy, in vehicle we had to ourselves most of the time. All the seats were next to the side (so there were no obstructed views), there were warm blankets in the car for the cold and we stopped for sundowners every evening and watched the stars come out - and what stars - amazing views of the milky way. The game was excellent too - lions including cubs, leopard + kill, and all the rest of the big five (if that's what you're into), hyena and cubs. A big highlight was following a leopard through the bush in the car - simply unforgettable! Plus a multitude of birds from eagles to wax-bills - and our extremely knowledgeable ranger Cynet could identify them all! Our room was enormous and luxurious - private secluded pool and veranda area, carefully designed so that it was not overlooked but looked out into the bush with animals traipsing past! There's also a wonderful hide by the waterhole so you can watch the animals coming down to drink and mud-bathe - including a whole herd of elephants! The staff still have a sense of wonder about the animals they see and are just as excited as the guests. And there are steenboks and kudu who visit the grounds and wander around the rooms - and a lovely night-watchman who escorts you to and from your room after dark. The trouble with the food was that it was too good and too plentiful - hard not to gain weight! Well cooked, well presented and served by lovely, attentive staff. Every other night we had a buffet in the traditional "boma" around a fire with our guide.

Well appointed lodge. Fantastic game drives and daily visits from wild animals to the viewing deck at the lodge.

We loved the location in the middle of the bush. The amenities and the comfort are outstanding while eco responsible. The staff is absolutely lovely and very careful while being very professional. The food is excellent and changes every day, the walk games are wonderful even if of course you don't see as many animals as in cars...but the contact with the nature and the intercation with animals is unique...and our guide was so nice and skilled. I defintely recommend to anyone who wants to live a true expreience in the bush

Everything, the service and the resort is perfect

Excellent place to stay if entering from orpen gate, 5 minutes drive to orpen gate. And orpen gate to satara best drive to sea the beasts ..... We completed our big 5 in first 2 hours. This hotel was pretty clean, rooms were good for a sleepover and friendly staff. What else you need !!!!
