We absolutely fell in love with Isambane, both the lodge itself and the incredible team. During our trip, we also stayed at another safari lodge recommended by the Michelin Guide, and for us, Isambane surpassed it by far. The service was exceptional. We have honestly never felt so well taken care of anywhere we’ve stayed. Every detail was thoughtful and personal, and the team went above and beyond to make our honeymoon feel extra special. Those little touches meant so much to us. The food was another highlight — the chef is incredibly talented, and every meal was excellent. We were also so lucky to have an amazing guide for our game drives. He was extremely knowledgeable, attentive to what we wanted to see and experience, and genuinely passionate about wildlife and the bush. You could tell that this wasn’t simply a job for him, and that made every game drive even more memorable. If you’re hesitating between several lodges in the area, choose Isambane. The warmth of the team, the level of service, the food, the game drives and the attention to detail made this one of the absolute highlights of our honeymoon. We would come back without hesitation.

Awesome camp location with great social areas, beautiful and comfortable tent with great facilities. Staff were amazing, especially our wonderful guide Angie. Incredible game drives and good food

Nothing!

Probabilmente il soggiorno con safari più bello della mia vita. ❤️ Ci siamo trovati benissimo fin dal primo momento: accoglienza, cibo, struttura e attenzione a ogni dettaglio, tutto impeccabile. I safari, due al giorno di circa 4 ore, sono stati semplicemente fantastici. Essendo in una riserva privata, gli animali vengono osservati con grande rispetto, senza il caos di tante jeep che li circondano. La nostra guida ci ha fatto immergere completamente in questo mondo, raccontandoci tantissime informazioni sugli animali, le loro abitudini, i predatori e l'ambiente in cui vivono. Gli avvistamenti non sono mai scontati, ed è proprio questo il bello del safari: cercarli e vivere l'emozione quando finalmente li trovi. Io sono riuscito a vedere tutti i Big Five, un'esperienza indimenticabile. Lo consiglio vivamente a chiunque voglia vivere un'esperienza safari autentica. Ci ho lasciato un pezzo di cuore. ❤️

Se dovessi trovare un piccolo aspetto da migliorare, direi il Wi-Fi, che durante il nostro soggiorno non funzionava sempre molto bene. Noi avevamo una SIM con traffico dati, quindi non abbiamo avuto alcun problema, ma potrebbe essere utile migliorarlo per gli ospiti che ne hanno necessità, ad esempio per guardare un film o utilizzare internet più comodamente.

Every single thing from the second Shayna picked us up from the airport and we walked through the gates for the first time has been nothing but incredible. The staff, the lodge, the food, all outstanding. I could not recommend Isambane more, I can’t sing its praises enough. Our safari guide Saneshan has been perfect and incredibly knowledgeable on everything from botany to astronomy and of course all the animals, birds and insects, he is also very kind, we were lucky enough to see the big 5 and many other animals. We were also honoured to get Angela’s last drive when we first arrived. Craig joined us for the last couple drives was also great and very knowledgeable. Every guest has been so kind. There has not been one meal that wasn’t 10/10, thank you chefs🩷 I was very sad to check out but we will definitely be back. Thank you so much to the whole team for the most incredible 5 nights of my life.🩷

Absolutely nothing.
