No shortcomings.

As on my previous two visits the visit was everything I expected. The warm welcome, excellent accommodation, imaginative meals and knowledgeable guide all added to the great experience. Tabs, Justin and Charl in particular could not have been more welcome. I hope to return with more guests in the near future. Thank you all.

Our stay at Mount Camdeboo’s pod was amazing from the beginning to the end. The reception and our guide were amazing, the pod and his view over the mountain was amazing, the food was amazing, and the game drives were amazing. Worth it! Thank you for everything!

Arrived at 14:00 (checkin time) but was only transported to the pods at 16:30 so had to sit around and wait at manor house for other guest who arrived at 16:30. This limited our time at the pod as you are also fetched early on your check out day . Ideally you want to spend as much time at the pod when you arrive as your 2 game drives a day start early in the morning and end late at night so you only have time during the afternoon to chill at the pod if you only stay for two night. Food was enough and good but both evenings we had meat and the same vegatables- variety would have been nice. Would recommend you also take snacks with as you are 45 min away from the manor house and there is none in the pod.

The pods are exceptional with amazing views and a great place to wind down and relax. Sitting by the fireplace and star gazing was swamping. Game drives were great with cheetah and lion sightings.

We stayed in one of the pods which was an amazing experience. You were enveloped by the reserve and it was the perfect place to relax with little to do disturbance. We had two game drives a day and the ranger was very friendly and informative. And we were lucky to see most of the animals on the reserve including a small pride of lions. Meals are delivered directly to the pod and was well prepared and delicious. All in all this is a must do and if I get a chance I would definitely go back.

We had an incredible time and will definitely come back. The location a little bit off the grid and not too many guests was exactly what we wished for, for an intimate game reserve experience! All expectations were exceeded :) From the welcome, to the Manor, to the amazing food, the game drives, star gazing… everything was wonderful and moments we will cherish! We were a bit worried about the 27km gravel road. But in the end even our VW Polo had no problem at all. Just go slow and enjoy the ride, there are wild animals already on the way to the reserve (we saw a lot of giraffes, Kudu, Monkeys…). With some stops to watch the animals, it took us around 1h 15 min.

The Manor houses are luxurious so no complaints.

The location is stunning and the Big Five are well represented.

We slept in the pod. The pod is a once in a lifetime experience, surrounded by silence with only the sound of the animals, with an incredible view, far Away from the civilized world. Mount camdeboo provides everything you need and expect from an all inclusive reserve. We would especially like to mention the welcome from Christel and of course the very personalized game drives from Collin that makes the experience unique. Thank you for making our experience so memorable.

We didn’t enjoy the 24km drive along the awful approach road - but it was worth it!

We liked everything!

We had an exceptional time at Mount Camdeboo (4 nights in the manor and 2 in the pod). The staff were excellent and made us feel so at home. The food was out of this world! We also had the opportunity to do a walking safari which was fantastic. The best part of the experience was our guide Rudolf who was incredibly knowledgeable and always keen to help.

All good.

This lodge/ manor house provides absolute peace and that's what really makes it special. The staff are attentive and friendly, the game drives very good for both animals and scenery. We stayed in a cottage on the property and it was wonderful, within 10 minutes of our arrival a family of elephants were about 50 metres away from our house, behind electric fencing of course.

Only feedback is the 27k gravel road drive took us over an hour as we did not want to cause damage to our vehicle. It would have been better if this was made clear on the arrival instructions and whether there was an option for a pick up from nearby town as we would have been willing to pay extra for this service. So just for guests to be made aware. Otherwise whole experience was wonderful.

It was luxurious in a fantastic setting. We saw loads of animals and had 2 game drives included. Food and drinks also included and were excellent. Definitely a trip highlight and worth splashing out on. No need to stay in the pod as the lodge itself was stunning. Very good service from staff.

Mount Camdeboo really exceeded our expectations. We had a very pleasant stay with excellent food and very professional staff with a passion for what the do. Our game drives was very good and the Game Ranger Charl well knowledged not only of the animals but also of the veld. Justin is a very friendly manager and always visible. We stayed in the Courtyard and was privilege to have Nooi as our housekeeper, what a wonderful person. We will definitely be back!!!

Lodge not eco friendly. Consider providing each guest with a water flask( have your logo on it), guests can leave with it. Have water filter stations, so that guests can refill. Reduce number of plastic water bottles.
