From the moment we were met at the tiny airport at Hoetspruit, this was an almost perfect experience, we saw baboons and giraffe as well as the ever present small deer, the name of which I have already forgotten, and that was just on the trip to the camp!! The accomodation has the exact right mix of comfort and character... more

Kambaku Safari Lodge satisfies you on all levels, the experiences of seeing the big 5 and much much more, the guides and rangers knowledge is exceptional. The lodge its self is charming and very comfortable. The wildlife experiences, even from you own room and verander ,continue with frequent visits from the comical wathogs and their babies, elephants and other thirsty... more

Myself, Lars & my wife Torild Säfverström visited the Kambaku Lodge from the 16th to 20th April 2009. The facility was excellent. The atmosphere & hospitality was from the start excellent. The food cannot be described, one rather has to taste it for one self. The entire experience was a bowl of luxury and above the normally service you experience... more

We spent 4 days at Kambaku during April 2009 and it was one of our best family safaris ever. I was a bit sceptical after reading the review of the guy saying that it was "Truly disappointing". For us it was the absolute opposite. We had a wonderful stay and the lodge managers Ken and Robyn went out of their... more

I took my family to Kambaku Safari Lodge over the Easter week-end … The rates were astronomical for a South African citizen paying in Rands, but I figured that it would be worth the money because after all it was the Timbavati Conservation area with +/- 50 farms forming an endless reserve bordering the Kruger with no fences. I decided... more

Have just returned from 4 days at Kambaku based on reviews I read on TripAdvisor - and very glad to report that the reviews really did justice to the Lodge. The staff were incredibly helpful answering my [numerous] questions and concerns before we even arrived, and went out of their way to accomodate us in every way. They were extremely... more

We kicked off our honeymoon at Kambaku after marrying in sunny Perth. The lodge was suggested by our travel agent in the UK and she couldn't have chosen a better place. The warm welcome, the privacy, the food, the location, the animals and our lovely room which was extremely well-serviced and clean. We were treated like family. We were assigned... more

The Kambaku Safari Lodge has impeccable service. My husband and I stayed there over our wedding anniversary which fell over the Christmas holidays....It was the BEST Anniversary Christstmas we ever had. It was just wonderful to spend that quality time in the African Bush. The rooms just transform you back to a time of simple elegance. - Spacious, comfortable and... more

I recently spent 3 wonderful nights at the Kambaku Lodge and couldn't have asked for anything more. The game drives were excellent; our ranger (Neville) and tracker (Arnold) were both knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We managed to see all of the big 5 except the leopard (we saw rhino, hippo, lion and buffalo) alongwith numerous other animals including zebra, giraffe, antelope,... more
