It's hard to find much to criticise, but they could have improved the atmosphere slightly in the evenings for dinner as they didn't always have background music playing so it felt a little sterile at times.

The facilities were great, the staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive, the food was excellent, and the game drives were a great experience. Our game driver Sam was very passionate and charismatic.

All good.

Overall, it is an excellent game lodge to stay at. The food, service room and game drives were all great. The picture doesn't do this place justice. Will be back

From the moment we entered Babohi, we were blown away by the exceptional level of hospitality that was shown to us. As soon as we checked in, we were asked to select a scent for the duration of our stay - such a thoughtful and unique touch that made us feel like the experience at Babohi was going to be very personalised and very high-end. The accommodation was so incredibly opulent. Aside from the stunning decor, we could tell there were so many thoughtful touches in order to elevate the experience even further. The views of the reserve from the room were also unbelievable! The food and drink were outstanding. Each meal was thoughtfully curated and prepared as well as being incredibly tasty. We very much appreciated the service that went along with the meals too. The chefs and the staff are clearly very committed to providing the best possible experience for guests during meal times. Bravo! The game drives were the absolute highlight of our stay. Damian is an exceptional guide - he is not only very knowledgeable, but he has a clear passion for conservation, the wildlife and the ecosystem. Damian offered incredible insight into the wildlife and was also very persistent in uncovering where the wildlife may be hiding (especially as we were there while it was pouring with rain). No request was too much, and no question was too silly. Each drive was unique and we saw something different each time. Also, a big thank you to Damian for getting us out of the reserve in time for our international flight - the rain had caused some difficulty with the roads but we managed to get to Johannesburg in time. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure our stay was completely luxurious, seamless and memorable. The team is committed to excellence and we cannot thank them enough for such a fantastic stay. Other luxury hotels etc. could learn a thing or two from the Babohi team. If anyone asks for recommendations in South Africa, I will point them in this direction.

The only thing we felt they can consider is not having the schedule so jam packed You are on game drives or eating in the restaurant almost all of the time- so there isn’t much time to enjoy your room and the facilities

From the welcoming to the end, we were treated like royalty The team is very well trained and they are friendly and now exactly how to make you feel comfortable The food and snacks was beautifully presented and delicious The rooms are extremely well built and they thought about just everything- including bath salts for your unwind bath ritual

Getting to the property on a gravel road, not so nice.

The rooms are spacious and beautiful. Staff is exceptional. Experiencing nature and beautiful mountains.

Everything about this place is meticulously planned and executed. From the warm welcome at the gate, the friendly reception team, the attentive bar staff, the dedicated cleaners, to the exceptional game drivers—every moment was outstanding. And let’s not forget the chef, who prepared dishes that were nothing short of divine! The highlight? Witnessing all the Big Five during our game drive—a truly unforgettable experience. There’s absolutely nothing not to love about this place!

Food is a bit too fussy, prefer straight forward simple food. Breakfast plates are a metal pan, not easy to eat out of. Cups in the room are too small to drink from, ok for a small strong coffee but useless for tea making.

Location is excellent and the facilities are superb. Game drives are very good and guides are very knowledgeable. Staff are friendly and helpful. 3rd or 4th visit and will be back

I don't have many negatives. The only criticism I had was that the drive to the resort is a dirt road and requires an off-road 4x4. It wasn't too bad but it does take awhile to get through it.

The exceptional service The wildlife The spa The views

Customer Delight is what we experienced at Babohi. Our expectations were surpassed. Ranging from the welcoming to friendly staff and to the comfortable accommodation. I must say that I am a very happy customer and will definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Sand road leading to property. We were in A3, sand road wasn’t too bad, 33kms and if you keep to 20 to 40km/h it’s fine. Worth driving in sand road to have a wonderful experience.

Everything, staff were so obliging friendly warm. Accommodation 6star Game drives were magical

The 30km dirt road to the property is in a shocking state. If you are driving a car that you care about it will take you 1.5hrs to drive at a pace that won’t damage the suspension. I wish I was warned about this properly but I was merely told that it’s about 30mins drive on a dirt road. Our car would be broken if we drove that fast on the road.

Fantastic views, fantastic food, fantastic people.
