"This place is absolutely stunning and much larger than I expected it to be. There are 3 large viewing decks so seeing animals at all hours of the day is easy. The staff are so friendly and surprised the guests with a dance and song after a boma dinner. Food also was amazing. "

"The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Nixon the lodge manager assisted us in taking our luggage to the room. All of the lodges are connected by a wooden walkway in the bush. The rooms were very nice and recently renovated. There is a great viewing deck where you can view the wild life. We saw 6 giraffes and several impalas the morning we were checking out which was exciting!! I would definitely recommend the Panzi Lodge to others! "

"A 30 minute drive from the Opren gate of Kruger Park and a good price/value considering other nearby accommodations are much higher priced. Seemed to be newer with a good air conditioner and was clean. This is not a true boutique hotel but more like a rental of a large 1 bedroom 2 story townhouse in a gated townhouse community on a hilltop. Our unit had a large proper kitchen and living room and a garage. That said, it might be good for larger families needing space or those staying for an...

"The people working there was nice, welcoming and helpful, but thats about the only positive quality it had.
There was an A/C but it didnt work, power socket didnt work, not even a toilet seat.. it's R150 for a basic toilet seat it's not much to ask for in a room.
There was a large amount of dust in the room, to a point you could feel it coming down from the roof while you were laying in bed.
The place looks like it might have been nice 10 years ago but hasnt seen a day of maintanance in years....

"Our family spent 4 nights at Rhino's Rest Villa, and it was, without a doubt, one of the most special experiences we have ever had.
We would like to congratulate the entire team for the warmth, professionalism, and excellence in every detail. The accommodations are impeccable — extremely clean, comfortable, and beautifully cared for. The food was simply wonderful, with special care taken to prepare delicious meals for the children as well.

"We had a wonderful stay! We honestly booked without expectations and were blown away. The staff has your whole day planned and makes sure you are cared for and pampered the entire time. The massage therapist was amazing! Our guide and tracker (Mark and Nickel) made the drives completely memorable. Our butler was also very professional and accommodating to our preferences! Owners take pride in their property and went out to their way to make sure our experience was perfect. My family highly recommends!"

Unembeza Boutique Lodge & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful hotel with stunning rooms and real sense of luxury. The pool and grounds are so tranquil and calm and everything is immaculate The staff are attentive and professional and the setting is beautiful with giraffe and zebra roaming around - so lovely. The restaurant is gorgeous. The only tiny bit of feedback is that the restaurant staff got things a bit confused for us and forgot some of the food and got the courses mixed up so the children got their main courses while the adults were served the starter so then had to wait ages for their pudding while we had the rest of the meal, and the side orders of vegetables never materialised but overall we had a wonderful stay "
