The location of this property is superb!!! There is a lot of extras activities you will be able to do while encountering the big five!!

There is only an outside shower!

Lovely place, thanks so much!

The game viewing is Amazing!. We loved our guides . Ocean and Krest!! commited and puntual. Going into the bushes with the land rovers was MAGICAL, gives you that sense of adventure, they were able to track lions during eating and a Cheeta!.. The food is amazing :) and we've got breaks with home made cookies and wine during the evening.

Small disappointment regarding the packing of the food and drinks: The staff forgetting our main meal (chicken) when we went to a whole day trip to Kruger, so we were left with only potato salad :( Same with 2-3 times when the drinks we ordered before the drives were not there. I think that is the only thing that probably needs some improvement to make it a 10.

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and enjoyed our time at the lodge.

Nothing!

What an amazing stay it was! If Discovery Channel were to create a theme park, it would be called Vuyani, no doubt! The Vuyani game drivers are absolutely awesome, as within the very first day I have witnessed the Big 5 and so much more: a leopard, six elephants, rhinos, a lioness with three cubs, hunting, two male lions, one following another, roaring for attention, baboons, numerous giraffes, herds of gnu, impalas, kudus, buffalos, zebras and tremendously adorable warthogs. The videos I have from the trip are truly unbelievable, like a random giraffe photobombing a video of a zebra running away from a rhino, or a leopard dining on an Impala on a tree. A trip to remember, for sure! The hospitality of the hotel and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was above and beyond, too. Everything you can possibly think of was meticulously thought through and already included in the stay: the game drives, the drinks in the minibar, two amazing bottles of Alvi's Drift (one of the best private wineries in South Africa), pick up and drop off to the local Hoedspruit airport, Africology amenities in the room. One thing that wasn't included and was oh so worth the money was the Africology Spa massage by an Africology therapist, which can be arranged at the property. So relaxing! The rooms are very comfortable and have all the necessary amenities, a super powerful hairdryer and a very stylish copper outdoor shower. It is an absolute dream of a location, and my trip was just perfect thanks to the Vuyani team. Bonus tip: ask for a sundowner at Pangolin Rock, one of the most Instagram worthy "she said: Yes!" spots in South Africa.

The game viewing was out of this world. The rooms were beautiful. The staff were amazing - so friendly and helpful. it’s a small lodge and all meals are with everyone sitting around the same table which was great as a solo traveller. A luxury stay with a relaxed feel.

The only thing I didn’t like was having to leave to go home

The place is amazing and the treatment as well, you can feel there is “unique”, there is just 7 Lodges. The staffs are lovely! Mainly the safari guide(Stewart), the cosine chef and the pool house service. The private reserve its impressive, you can see the big 4 super close and the guide knows everything about the savanna and the animals, they are very kind in terms of “find” the animals that we are expecting.

The main meals are perfect, but we miss the “coffee break” during the activities, they are long and exhausted until the dinner and there is just “snacks”. The worst thing that makes us really uncomfortable it was the air conditioner, it wasn’t working, and the lodges are done by wood, so during 10am until 6pm, it’s impossible stay there. Almost half of the x, this makes us feel that don’t worth the money! (One day, I was sick, and It was so warm and I needed to sleep at the pool..) Last, but not least, they are not clear about the $ of the activities, and “how it works” to schedule. We recommended the place, but ask about the $ and activities before go, because you can also schedule with agencies tour if they say that are not possible(mainly with you are not in a big group, like us)

Relaxed, friendly, fun, great bush experience altogether

Serving staff, facilities, boma dinner and menu, guests seated together

No rusks or biscuits, management awkward social skills, didn't feel like a tent, would have preferred more boma dinners, boring breakfast options, early game drive too early
