Everything! We loved being by the river- immersed in nature.
Nothing. Though a gym would be good as we ate such lovely food and sat on our butts for so many hours looking at the animals!!

It’s a luxury tent, private pool and bath tub and shower outside. It was very clean and tidy. Regularly maintained.

The service is impeccable; the attention to detail, the warmth, the welcomes, and the facility! We truly enjoyed our stay and even extended for an additional night. The all-inclusive package is worth every penny – definitely coming back! I also loved that the tents didn’t have a TV and minimal charging sockets; it really forces you to slow down, enjoy the views and get lost into nature.
It would be lovely to have different time options for the Game Drive. As much as we wanted to take up the opportunity, we found that 3 hours was far too much to dedicate for the game drive. However, we also understand that it allows you enough time and freedom to see as much as you can.

Beautiful luxurious tents with amazing view of the Komati river. It was safe and clean. The best part of the trip was the amazing staff- genuinely friendly people who made our stay extra special.

I can't even begin to describe how magical our two days at nkomazi were. The tents are absolutely beautiful, staff are so attentive and it just felt like we were in a movie or something. There are so many amenities that we wouldn't even have thought of (like hot water bottles on game drives) The food was amazing too. There was an open fire dinner on our second day and the atmosphere was so serene. We could even try crocodile meat.
Our guide Derek was phenomenal and we came so close to the animals on our game drives. Being so spoiled by Derek's guiding we were actually disappointed when we went to Kruger NP :D
There were no issues with electricity at all.
It was just the best accomodation we've ever stayed in.

Absolutely incredible accommodations in the middle of the bush on the edge of a river. everything seemed brand new, the staff goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. They have a spa onsite so my fiancé and I had an amazing massage in between game drives. Our driver Thomas was so knowledgeable about everything while we went on our game drives. We saw lots of animals and he even looked for specific ones we wanted. All the food was so delicious and the views from the deck are lovely. Our room/tent was huge and the bed was so comfortable. Our car was parked safely at the entrance to the game reserve during our stay.
They don’t have rhinos on site and I noticed some of the animals have collars on.

absolutely everything!!! just WOW!!!! unfortunately the booking.com rate only allows you to give up to 10. we would give it more. From the time you arrive, you are welcomed by the nicest and friendly staff. They make everything for you to feel cared. the tend is huge, and so well decorated, you really feel that you’re on a 5 star safari tend. the food was amazing, there was an event with local cosine dishes, and some of the drinks and loca beers were included. We did 2 game drives (morning and afternoon) they served drinks, snacks, mosquito repellent, blankets, rain ponchos, binoculars, everything you’ll need. we saw lions, cheetas, giraffes, serval, elephants… our guide Derek was the best!!!!! he’s gone beyond expectations, to make sure we had the best experience ever. we will definitely come back. Janita, from reception, was also very kind.
we can’t complement enough. wifi works well throughout the hotel.
to leave :) we stayed only one day, was definitely not enough. we could’ve spent weeks!

we stayed for 3 nights and being our first Safari we didn’t know what to expect. It was definitely 5 star experience!
Our game driver Gerard was super knowledgeable and passionate about the animals and sustainability of the reserve .. he went above and beyond to inform, answer questions and a keen eye to find pretty much all animals on reserve! He positioned the vehicle so well for us to take some nice photos and feel part of the environment.. such respect for the work he does daily! (oh and he makes a killer G&T for sundowners😍)
We had 2 other couples with us who had visited this reserve a few times which made our experience even more enriching and intimate! The staff was lovely and attentive!
We stayed in room #1 with a quiet view of the river, outdoor plunge pool, shower and bath was a delight! The interior was very comfortable with good airco and comfy bed. Definitely book a message (or 2) its well worth it after sitting on game drives nice to get some circulation and added to more relaxing vibes!
Thank you to the full team to make our first safari experience unforgettable! we are looking forward to returning sooooon 💜
Dinner: meat was over cooked and very dry.

We visited Nkomazi in 2017,loved it so much, we had to go back.The changes to the lodge set up are beautiful. The service from the staff was beyong amazing.They made us feel at home.I also loved the fact that the staff is from Mpumalanga.It is always nice to travel to a place and hear the people there speak and teach you their language. The food was tasty.I enjoyed the dinner under the stars set up with the braai meat. Our guide also made sure we enjoyed our drive and see the animals we wanted to see. The overall experience was fantastic.
The menu for dinner could do with more options. We had either beef or fish on Thursday as options, which were the same options for dinner on Saturday.
