    We had the most incredible stay at Ranger Camp. The staff were some of the most hospitable we have ever met and we have travelled a lot. Joe our guide was truly amazing and spent hours tracking the big 5 for us. A very memorable trip!

    Bedding was stained and mosquito nets are torn. The llibrary needs to be cleaned..

    Accommodation was comfortable. Staff was friendly. Joe, our Ranger, has so much knowledge and skills. He was awesome and so accommodating he went out of his way to ensure we saw all the animals possible. His driving skills are impeccable

    Food and other facilities have a bit more work to do. Cleaning and food serving could step up a bit but also this is not one of those five star lodges. Things are a bit broken and dirty and the plants are not very well kept. With some extra work another star could be earned

    The ranger we were set up with, Jimmy was fantastic and made our trip very good. The safari was great and that's why we came. Jimmy was five star

    Nothing major wrong, but with a little more effort could be made better. Coffee breaks used a lot of single use plastic, and coffee options were very limited. Food was very simple.

    Perfect destination for a quick break from Joburg. Camp and rooms were comfortable and well laid out. Staff were friendly and helpful. Decent selection of wines and other drinks. Breakfast omelets were delicious!

    It’s the perfect combination between rustic tented accommodation and the luxury of prepared meals and fantastic game drives. Incredibly efficient and friendly staff. Loved the outdoor shower and then hopping into a bed warmed up by an electric blanket.

    Quality time in the bush

    If it wasn’t for the quality bush and animals and location it will be a very mediocre stay. The pits is the poor quality of the coffee never mind that there is no coffee in the bedrooms. They should definitely stress the fact that the only means of bathing is an outside shower. A real safari drive should include quality snacks guys, really, the dried out spring roll per person and a little bag of peanuts just doesn’t cut it, some biltong and droëwors is much more authentic.

    Love the location, bush and the animals, great game drives and saw beautiful animals, even saw cheetahs chasing wildebeest.

    When coming from Polokwane make sure to use Mokopane route (R101) and not the N1. Also take note there’s a Gravel road to the lodge.

    From our arrival to departure we received the best hospitality. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The beds had electric blankets which came in very handy. Food was absolutely exceptional. The highlight was the game drive! We loved it and our guide Sophia was the Best!

    Lovely people. Property needs some maintenance issues addressed.

    We had booked 2 deluxe chalets, but it looked like we got only one deluxe chalet with an upstairs lookout. The door to the lookout however, could not be opened, it was missing a handle. My mum and her niece were sharing that particular chalet and their bathroom did not have a door - awkward situation that needed to be navigated with one of the two needing to wait outside the chalet at times. Their chalet also had a massive problem of flying insects. While our chalet was not too bad, the insects at their chalet made it almost impossible to have a shower after the evening game drive in the outdoor shower area.

    The staff are lovely. Max our guide was very good. We had so much fun laughing and joking around between sightings and game drives. He is also very well informed and we learned a lot. The animals in the park are in good condition and made for an excellent viewing experience.

    Not much.

    Game drives every morning and evening we're included in our stay. It was excellent to be assigned to one ranger, who looked after us throughout our stay. Charles was a star! The accommodation tents are super spacious and well-enough equipped. Meals were good, and the bar was well stocked. Our only wish would have been to be able to stay much later around the campfire. Sadly, we couldn't do that as that would have kept our ranger up late into the night (you need to be accompanied to your tent, as there is no fence separating you from the game.

    We have been to many lodges before in the same price range and we found certain things lacking, for instance: The snacks on the drives were shocking. There were only some rusks in the morning, no muffins or anything else. The after noon drive there were only meat samoosas when we told the lodge one of our party do not eat meat. The second day we took our own snacks on the drive. There was no water offered only the drink you specified for the drink stop. It is not expensive to open a packet of crisps. Most lodges normally give you some biltong and nuts and raisins etc . We found this very dissapointing. When returning from the drives there were no hot towels or wet facecloths to wipe your hands. It is the small things that make you want to go back.

    The lodge and the rooms were beautiful. We loved the outdoor shower. Our guide (Charles) was excellent and very accomodating. The food was pleasant but nothing fantastic, actually really basic with not much choice, but we did not go hungry.
