We did actually have Elephants two times at the pool. The Staff and Guides are awesome. We stayed for 11 nights ( we did do 3 independent days ). Food is excellent, wines are excellent. Nathan, the manager was also awesome, and our driver Daniel was also, you guessed it...awesome.

Dank Twice haben wir alle Big 5 gesehen. Alle sind so herzlich und nett. Jeden Tag kommen die Elefanten an den Pool. Von den Zelten sieht man Impalas und Baboons. Das ist einfach wunderbar. Das Essen ist hervorragend. Vielen Dank

This is an exceptional property in the Manyeleti Game Reserve adjacent to the Kruger National Park. It is a magical place where Impala's roam the property and the elephants come to drink water from the pool. The "tents" are very nice with toilet facilities and showers and comfortable beds. The food was good, but the staff are the best! They do everything they can to meet your needs and wants. Everyday there are two game drives into the reserve where you can get very close to amazing game animals. The guides on these drives are very good at their jobs. Ours was named Brilliant and he truly was brilliant. He can find animals, birds and snakes at distance and at night in places I can barely see. He is amazing! We want to thank the staff for making our stay very special-Dan, Mavis, Trevor, Previous, Noa and other...and especially Brilliant!

Eu esperava mais , a tenda é simples , porém bem confortável , o ponto alto é o lobby onde elefantes ficam próximos a piscina e é possível interagir com eles. O Safari achei fraco , apesar de 1 game drive foi excelente, os outros 3 foram bem fracos. A área da reserva é muito grande , tendo muitos animais , acredito que deva ter mais agilidade nos games , se perde muito tempo vendo animais de pequeno porte , pássaros , e os grandes e mais esperados acabam ficando com pouco tempo para ver. Valeu a experiência bem no meio da selva , em tendas confortáveis ,porém achei caro pra voltar novamente pelo que oferece.

WOW! Diesen Urlaub werden wir für immer in Erinnerung behalten. Tausend Dank an das ganze Honeyguide Team! Man fühlt sich dort so gut aufgehoben, der Service ist exzellent, man befindet sich mitten in der Wildnis und fühlt sich trotzdem stets sehr sicher. Es ist so surreal, dass riesige Elefantenherden mehrmals täglich das Wasserbecken vor dem Pool aufsuchen und man sie aus allernächster Nähe stundenlang beobachten kann. Und dass man auch von seinem eigenen Zelt aus immer wieder Tiere sieht. Das Essen ist unfassbar lecker, man kann immer aus verschiedenen Gerichten wählen und es gab kein Gericht, das nicht geschmeckt hat. Alles wird mit viel Liebe angerichtet. Last but not least: Die Safaritouren waren der Wahnsinn! Tausend Dank an unseren Guide Brilliant! Er ist genauso wie sein Name schon verrät: brilliant :) Wir haben alle Big 5 und noch so viel mehr gesehen. Er hat ein unglaublich gutes Gespür für die Tiere. Eine einmalige Erfahrung! Wir kommen sehr sehr gerne irgendwann wieder.

Property was nice and relaxing; the Elephants at the pool were amazing. Food was good but a menu should be provided at dinner given you order your main course at lunch, and by dinner time you have forgotten what each course is. A couple of times I didn't like the dessert, and if I had had a menu I would have realized and not had the dessert, and therefore not wasted food. Housekeeping may need to be more diligent with the mosquito net as it's opened while guests are out on their morning game drive and not closed until they are out on their evening game drive. I found a scorpion in the bed one night - we were very lucky I saw it by my pillow before jumping into bed! Game drives need more variety - there are a lot of animals in the park, so as amazing as lions are, it's lazy to just take guests to see the same ones for 3 hours during every drive. Other lodges talk to the guests more and we know certain animals habitat in certain other areas of the park (we did the same circuit many times!). I know both myself and other guests eventually had to ask our guides to take us somewhere else so we could try and see some other animals, which we did end up seeing, much to everyone's delight. Also ensure every guest gets the warning about the 'thieving' monkeys and hiding their stuff, as well as needing a chaperone when walking around the camp in the dark - other guests didn't get these warnings and lost possession to monkeys getting into their tents. Wonderful stay otherwise.

Manyeleti game reserve is an amazing safari area. Our guide Anton and tracker Johnson were superb, and had so much knowledge to share, not only of the animals but the bird life and the flora and fauna and in general the amazing interdependence of nature and the circle of life. One of the best safari experiences and I have had a few. Thankyou. The camp on the other hand is looking very tired, and the customer service was very average. Can I suggest that a thermos flask of ice cold water is supplied in every tent. We were advised to only drink the water from the 2 taps at the main dining area. A long walk if the elephants get in the way or it is a warm day/ night.! The fire pit area needs a face lift as the cushions are faded and tired looking. Rusks before the early morning drive were tasteless. Snacks at sunset were always peanuts and dried fruit - no biltong ( to show off local delicacies). Waiting staff were very off hand with their service. We only found the hide by the water hole on our last day as the orientation lady did not mention it. I needed to ask 3x for a laundry bag and still never received one. These are small criticisms but not difficult to fix to make it an amazing experience. I hope this is constructive criticism, and helpful.

Great time at Honeyguide

Spent 4 nights at Honeyguide during a recent trip around South Africa and it was he absolute highlight. 2 long game viewing drives a day - never more than 6 people to a car. The guides were a highlight, and Anton and Douglas took fantastic care of us during the trip - we learned so much and it really made the experience much more enjoyable. Lions, elephants, rhinos galore and even an extended visit with a cheetah. Because this is a concession, you can go off road to get very close to some very large animals. The tented accommodation was luxurious although noise travels fairly easily among tents. But it is spacious and you will occasionally have elephants wandering through the camp - which is great. Food is served buffet style and is all to a high standard, particularly the generous breakfast. Would highly recommend for a wonderful safari experience

2 Nächte im Zelt mit vielen unbekannten Geräuschen

Die Anreise zum Camp mit eigenem Pkw gestaltet sich recht problemlos. Ein SUV ist nicht erforderlich - man kann das Camp mit jedem Pkw sorglos erreichen. Der Check-In geht zügig und man zum eigentlichen Zelt Camp von einem der Mitarbeiter oder Ranger gebracht. Die Zelte sind geräumig und nett eingerichtet, haben ausreichend Steckdosen (lokal) um eigene Geräte anzuschließen oder zu laden. Ein eigenes Bad mit Warmwasser und WC ist bei jedem Zelt vorhanden. Von individuellen nächtlichen Spaziergängen auch im Camp ist abzuraten, da das Cam nicht umzäunt ist und eine Menge Tiere ihren Weg durch das Camp nehmen. Es finden 2 Game Drives je Tag statt (morgen um 06h30 und Nachmittags um 15h30), die jeweils von einem Ranger und Tracker geführt werden. Im Vergleich zu anderen Parks ist die Menge an Tieren, die man sieht, eher etwas gering, die Qualität (Löwen, Leoparden, Geparden, Nashörner...) aber beachtlich und gleicht dies dann wieder aus. Die Mahlzeiten werden gemeinsam mit den anderen Gästen (und Abends gemeinsam mit den Rangern) eingenommen. Wasser zu den Mahlzeiten ist incl. andere Getränke müssen extra gezahlt werden, die Preise sind aber angemessen. Direkt neben dem Gebäude wo die Mahlzeiten serviert werden gibt es ein Wasserloch, wo man zu jeder Tageszeit jede Menge Tiere sehen kann, ohne dass man von einer Führung abhängig ist. Internet ist im öffentlichen Bereich vorhanden und gratis, die Geschwindigkeit lässt zu wünschen übrig. Insgesamt hatten wir einen schönen Aufenthalt

Hotel dentro da Savana Africana e perto do Kruger

O Lodge é excelente! Fica numa reserva privada ao lado do Kruger e não há cercas que dividem a reserva e o Kruger, então os animais andam livremente. Eu estava com muitas dúvidas de onde ficar para ter uma verdadeira experiência de Safari e fiz a escolha mais acertada de todas: ficar no Honeyguide Tented. Os guias são excelentes e todos os funcionários muito, muito prestativos. Eles têm uma consciência de preservação da natureza enorme, não alimentam os animais e lutam para deixar a natureza o mais selvagem possível. Todos os dias são feitos 2 game drivers (Safari) - pela manhã e à tarde. Os game drivers estão inclusos na diária já. Além disso, todas as refeições estão inclusas também. Única coisa que se paga a parte são refrigerantes, vinhos, cervejas, mas é barato (na minha opinião). Por volta de USD 2 para uma coca-cola e USD 3,50 a USD 4 para uma taça de vinho (preços de junho/2018). Existem duas taxas a serem pagas para entrar na reserva, mas eu e meu marido gastamos no total em torno de USD 20 de taxas apenas. É realmente como as fotos: tendas 4 estrelas e você dorme em meio à mata. Fiquei super segura durante todo o período (sim! Tenho medo de animais), já que após escurecer você sempre está acompanhado de um funcionário do Lodge para andar até sua tenda. Em resumo: é incrível! Indico sem sombra de dúvidas! Entre escolher um Lodge 5* dentro do Kruger ou ficar no Honeyguide? Ficaria novamente no Honeyguide com certeza, o custo x benefício vale a pena!

All inclusive Safari Komfort Zelt-Hotel

Es handelt sich um ein Camp mit einer Dutzend Zelten welche einzeln auf einem Betonfundament stehen und durch ein Metallgerüst sehr stabil sind. Das Zelt bietet jedes Komfort wie ein normales Hotelzimmer, Dusche und Toilettenbereich sind aber etwas spartanischer, aber funktionnell und sauber. Durch die Bauweise und Moskitonetze in der Front und den Fenstern kann man Geräusche und Aktivitäten (zB Affen oder Elephanten...) rund ums Zelt während der Nacht wahrnehmen was das ganze zu einem Abenteuer macht. Der Schlafbereich des Zeltes ist gut gegen Moskitos geschützt. (Wir hatten während 3 Tagen keine Moskitos im Park und im Camp gesehen.) Das Camp ist mit Privatwagen zB Polo oder Golf erreichbar und liegt nur 15Minuten von der asphaltierten Hauptstrasse entfernt. Tagesablauf: morgens 5h30 Aufstehen und in der Bar gibt es bereits Kaffee/Tee. 6h00 Safarifahrt mit garantierten Big5. Während einer Fahrt aber vielleicht maximal Big2. Am Ende der Fahrt gibt es Kaffee/Schoki/Tee/Kuchen im Safaripark. Dann zurück im Camp gibt es gegen 9h30 kontinentales/englisches Frühstück. Dann Ausruhen,Spazieren oder Pool. Um 14h00 Mittagessen zB Salate und Lasagna. Um 16h00 wiederum Safarifahrt mit Aperitif im Safaripark. Dann um 20h30 noch Aperitif an der Bar. Um 21h00 dann Abendessen zB Salate Braten Steak und Nachspeise. Wenn man bedenkt dass man in einem Safaripark ist ist das Essen sehr hochwertig!! Vergleichbar mit einem 4+ bis 5 Sterne Hotel auf den Kanaren.

Amazing experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay with Honeyguide Tented Safari Camp. We had four amazing game drives guided by the very knowledgeable Anton and our tracker, Johnson. They, and the rest of the staff, really made an effort to take care of our comfort and questions. They even found olives for my martini in the bush!!! We had wonderful close encounters with four of the "big five" including a couple of elephants drinking from the plunge pool near where we had lunch. The platform tents were very comfortable and we felt very safe at night while we listened to the animals doing their thing all around us. The menu was fixed (with two choices for dinner) and the food was very good (but not gourmet). But there was plenty of good wine and interesting mealtime conversations with the very international guests around the table. You could spend more for more luxurious accommodation, I guess. But we wanted to feel closer to nature and Honeyguide was the perfect choice. It was an amazing experience.

Praticamente perfetto! In inverno la sera puo' fare freddo ed il bagno chiuso solo con muri alti 180 cm rispetto all'esterno. Ma la doccia è calda, basta coprirsi ed asciugarsi subito, anzi una volta tanto è anche una bella sensazione fare la doccia nella natura selvaggia.
