Nyati Lodge is a stunning oasis of tranquility set in 10,000 hectares of game filled reserve. We stayed in a beautiful riverside bungalow, spacious and well equipped. It was a short walk to the main buildings with the restaurant and pool. Staff were attentive and friendly across the board. There are two game drives a day, and we were lucky enough to see all Big Five animals during our two day stay, a testament to the guides’ expertise. When not on drive there was a gym, driving range and pétanque pitch for those who fancied an activity, and hammocks, comfortable chairs and a pool for those who would rather relax. The food was of a high quality both in taste and presentation. We had an absolutely fantastic few days and would highly recommend to anyone looking to go on safari in the Kruger!
The only real complaint we have is that despite having told Nyati of my fiancée’s food intolerances, we were consistently served food she could not eat. Only on one occasion was she given an alternative dessert. It was okay as she could eat the majority of the dishes anyway, but hope Nyati are more attentive to this in the future.

The stay at Nyati Safari Lodge was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the lodge's stunning surroundings and the warm welcoming of the staff.
The rooms were beautifully decorated and provided a cozy retreat after thrilling game drives- the highlight of my stay. The experienced guides took us on unforgettable journeys through the African wilderness, where we encountered magnificent wildlife up close.
The staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their attention to detail and personalized service made us feel truly special.
The dining experience was exceptional. The culinary team prepared mouthwatering meals that showcased both local flavors and international cuisine. Each meal was a delightful fusion of taste and presentation, leaving us truly impressed.

Perfectly situated on the banks of the Olifants River. Our Chalet had a gorgeous view, even a hammock to lie in to enjoy the view. Rooms were very comfortable, staff extremely friendly and food delicious. Sunday night's dinner in the bush was the best! Would definitely recommend that you try include a Sunday night in your booking to enjoy the bush dinner.
Nothing we didn't like - except that our stay was tooo short!

we liked everything about the property in the service and the people .
The food was very good, I would like it to be simpler more like home, cooking and not a fancy meal. Maybe like hamburgers and french fries occasionally hotdogs, possibly similar thing.

The location of our villa was right on the river, we could watch animals drink and play right from our hammock! The game drives were really cool! Staff amazing, guides amazing, really loved it here. The little sunset stops for wine on the drives were so fun too and the bush dinner Oh my days. Just book it you wont be disappointed.
The pools were absolutely freezing. The main hotel one is meant to be heated, it was slightly less glacial than the villa private pool but hardly. There was no choice of food for lunch or dinner, you got what was prepped. The food was good, but would have been nice to choose something from a couple of options.
9.0
the game drives were great, but depended heavily on the day. Nature is unpredictable but during our stay we saw the big five, shout out to George. Field guides were friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Immersed in nature, location on river is beautiful, saw many elephants. Neutral: a lot of Danes, very friendly but you stick out as a non Dane.
little was explained by management, especially about the food situation. (Fixed menu) When we expressed dietary restrictions, we experienced a weird reaction. Small food portions.

Such incredible value for money! One of the most affordable all inclusive lodges I found and the service was incredible! Good food, friendly staff, comfortable rooms (even saw elephants from my balcony!)! The game drives were great and I saw all Big 5 in 3 days!

Very nice staf especialy security employee Jan
Because of the long bad road it would be better to park the car at the front behind the gate and take the guest with a jeep to the resort.

The hotel is very well appointed. The food is excellent and well presented, absolutely first class. The setting of the restaurant is beautiful, overlooking the Olifants river. Nice touch that the wine at dinner is included at no extra charge. the wine served was also very nice.
Staff very friendly. Our game ranger Noddy was most friendly and tried his utmost to find game and inform us with funny stories. The grounds are very well kept, really nice and clean.
Nyati is a well appointed hotel, but it does have the true bush lodge feel to it. It caters largely for foreign package tourists (Danish). The game drives are a bit laborious as the first 25 to 30 mins are spent every time on the same access road until you reach the greater reserve. Whereas at most lodges one stops for a morning coffee or sundowner drink, a little table is set out with some biscuits or snacks, not so at Nyati. you are giving your drink out of the cooler box and handed a bag of crisps or peanuts. For the package tourist who come for the big 5 it is probably fine, but as mentioned not the true safari feel.
We like a firm bed but with the mattress on a concrete slab it was just too firm for us.
