We were in honeyguide late november 2011 and we had the time of our lives!!! I can´t find words to describe how this experience changed our lives. The contact with the narture, the smell of the bushes, the wildlife, the sounds of the animals. The openess of the tent is an extra experience, it´s thrilling and exciting. The view from... More

I just returned from a two night stay at Honeyguide and don't know that words can ever describe how incredible the experience here truly is. I was there with three other guys and we were able to do each game drive on our own vehicle. Having a small group makes it a much more enjoyable experience where you really get... More

We just returned (28 of us in our TBE group) from a nearly 3-week trip through South Africa, and our stay at Honeyguide Tented Safari Camps was certainly one of the highlights in the bush! Honeyguide offers two camps - Khoka Moya and Mantobeni, separated by a 5 minute drive in between. Our group occupied all 12 tents at Khoka... More

What an amazing vacation! Everyone at Honeyguide made us feel so welcome. Our guides Lyton and Walter were amazing. We saw the Big 5 on our first drive! Our tent, which was right next to the watering hole, gave us a great view of the Cape Buffalo stopping by for a drink and we could hear the hippo taking a... More

Wasn't sure about this place at first, staying in the bush without any fences round our camp - but this was one of the most memorable experiences of my time in South Africa. If you're after five star luxury, with all the frills and animals on tap, then this is not for you. The tents are canvas and there's more... More

So many memories of an African safari location. The tents are very comfortable. Maybe some people may feel out of their comfort zone by the "openess" of them. The food was outstanding. The organisation of the twice daily safaris very impressive. Our guide, Dries, just made the whole visit so special for us. Expect early mornings, early to bed evenings... More

It was really hard to readjust after four nights at Honeyguide's Mantobeni camp. It was a quick wind down and as such a perfect start of our three week holiday in South Africa.The tents were perfectly adequate. The beds were extremely comfortable and warm inspite of the inhospitable weather, which struck us for a few days. Staff paid minute attention... More

If you want the real bush experience, Mantobeni is the place to be!! Very nice and well equipped tents in the middle of the bush where all the animals can visit you because there are no fences. There was even an elephant drinking out of the swimming pool and we were watching him from just a few meters..... The staff... More

From the moment you arrive in mantobeni you are aware that you have made a great choice. This is not the standard facsimile androgeneous type of safari experience to be found in much of south africa and is more reminiscent of the high end tented camps such as kirawira and olivers camp in tanzania. Our tent overlooked a a watering... More

Spent 3 days on a safari. The guides were great guys and very focused and knowledgeable. The service at the camp was outstanding and dinners very good. Located in the middle of the park means you can see animals all the time. Don't spend just one day, three is optimal. you feel part of a family, we'll definitely be back! More
