We were group of 9 people. We stayed for 1 night. Everything was as we expected. Nice huts, good restaurant, sunset safari with open park's Toyota. There is no electricity inside huts, but we knew that and it was great as staff brought two kerosine lanterns in front of each hut. Cold and hot shower was present. The dinner was plentiful and very tasty. In the morning just before light came out we were sitting at benches near camp's waterhole and watched antelopes and rhinos.

There could be more laughter at the reception. The atmosphere of the oil lamps and candles is wonderful, but it is a shame that after more than 20 years there is still no electricity and WiFi in the cottages themselves. The double bed is too narrow. The price excluding conservation fee, breakfast and dinner is too high.

Unique experience, clean premises, pretty good food, Our preference was honored. Friendly restaurant and bar staff.

Reception staff weren’t very helpful and seemed uninterested

Great location and quiet

No electricity in the chalets (but I knew that going in). If you build more four-bedroom family units consider having two bathrooms in each as four-bedrooms can equate to eight people sharing one bathroom.

Family rooms available, mosquito netting, oil lamps

WiFi was terrible, we had a family emergency and were trying to get home early so this really impacted us. Usually it wouldn't have been an issue and we would have enjoyed being off grid.

We loved it here, as we turned up there were two hippos playing at the watering hole and impalas running around. We very much enjoyed sitting and watching the animals around the water whilst the sun was setting. Food was great (was able to make vegan for evening meal and breakfast, weren't there for lunch). Staff were friendly. The hut was much nicer in person than in the photos and the bed was very comfortable. Getting ready by candlelight for bed and in the morning for our Rhino drive was brilliant. Can't recommend staying here enough!

The fridge did not work. We reported it, they said they fixed it but it still did not work. Luckily we had a cooler and sold ice but they should make sure that the fridge is working.

Beautiful park woth lots of birds.

Unique experience surrounded by nature and animals. Excellent game drives. Beautiful hut, tastefully designed. Really enjoyed the “no electricity” situation (there are outlets at the deck near the reception though, also WiFi). All in all amazing!

Nice location in the national park, next to a dam where lots of animals come to drink. Great rooms with comfy beds and warm shower. Only downside no WiFi nor electricity in the rooms. But it adds to the experience as well

I was told the left over buffet food was thrown away rather than being offered to staff or local disadvantaged people which feels wasteful. Potentially installation of solar panels on the huts to enable lights and fans would be a worthwhile addition with remaining in keeping with the experience.

Staying within the park gave a unique experience being able to see the animals through out the day but particularly at sun rise and sunset!

A basic Electric soft light for the Bathroom, Room would be the perfect set. The entrance area is fine with the Hurricane Lamps.

Good Breakfast, while viewing White Rhinos, Nyalas, Waterbucks, Springboks, Elephants.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, for the first night we stayed in the Bhubesi camp but moved to the main camp for the second night because the road to the first camp is 11 km, of quite bad gravel road--Thoroughly enjoyed our time in the main camp there is wildlife all around and early in the morning we saw 18 rhinoceroses by the watering hole. All in all a fantastic stay

The food isn't great, particularly the buffet. Not great selection and often not hot

Location and accommodation is superb

In the bathroom, it was difficult to mix hot and cold water, but it didn't take away from the quality of services.

No electricity, no wifi in the room, clean room. Friendly stuff. Self driving safari.

We purposefully chose the accommodation without electricity, so we were expecting that. However, in hindsight, we realised that, with a little effort, they could have created some light, using solar panels. it would have been great if there was some basic solar lights on the outside, at the reception area. The reason for choosing the accommodation at Ndlovu was because of the watering hole access. However, because it was completely dark, you could actually not enjoy the watering hole. So, the only time you could really see anything was during the daylight, making the sacrifice for no electricity in your accommodation not worth the sacrifice. Drinking water should be made available. They do not provide drinking water (unless you first boil the tap water) and then are required to buy water. At least providing people with some water, e.g 5l bottle of drinking water would go a long way. Meals, while tasty, is overpriced.

The quietness. Enjoying the Rhinos and hippos in the morning and early evening (see later comments under 'what you did not like'.

Be prepared, you’re in the middle of an african national park so plenty of bugs!

The team were all so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. We arrived late and they were very welcoming. You’re also in the middle of perfect nature and there are amazing RHINOS!!
