Book Ndlambe Hotels

"Great hotel, wonderful staff and delicous breakfast."

"Wonderful place, people, animals. Fantastic experience. We were blown away by our time here. Our guide Melissa was excellent — considerate both of the guests and of the animals we saw / interacted with. We saw elephants, lions, white rhinos, hippos, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, ostrich and many kinds of deer / antelope birds. In most cases, we came within 1-3 meters of the animals; we would often position in their path / vicinity, and they would walk up to and past us as they went on their way. They seemed very comfortable with us in the vehicles, even though they’re obviously still wild. (Although it’s a private reserve, the animals feed themselves off the land / each other. Note that some of the animals, such as giraffe, are not strictly native to this region but seem to be thriving.) Melissa taught us a lot about the animals, their behaviours and interactions with each other. She paced the drives well, so we had quiet time to just appreciate sights and sounds; as well as “missions”, when she wanted to get us close to a particular set of animals that she knew were in good position. Room and facilities were also outstanding. Food and alcohol, included in price, were solid."

"The hotel is well situated but the rooms need attention. Shower handles broken. Taps not secure to the basin No aircon. Thank goodness it was overcast and cool. Fan was ok. Beds were too small. King would have been better TV is working but has minimal channels and the screen has multiple lines so part of the TV is not clear.....thank goodness we don't watch much TV. Could do with a repaint and overall maintenance is required. Asked for towels at 2pm, had to ask for towels again at 6pm Wouldn't rush to book again, unless desperate."
