    We expected more about the vultures but were a bit disappointed that we did not learn and see more from the vultures. The name Vulture Conservany is a bit misleading. As we were the only guests, we felt a bit uncomfortable.

    Lovely atmosphere and infrastructure, extremely stylish and well integrated into the nature

    Relaxing hideaway, wonderful staff and food. For exploring area and wildlife, not ideal.

    The drive from the gate (where your car is left behind) up to the lodge and back was very time consuming. If you are planning to do day trips, this is not really the right spot. Even so if you want to see wildlife as there are very few animals at the property.

    Beautiful location, very new property. The tent was well equipped. Top notch friendly crew and outstanding food. Ideal spot for a relaxing day, to swim, to read a book.

    To have to leave and not stay longer.

    This is the most beautiful place you will stay in Blyde River Canyon area. All the experience is top notch! From the extremely friendly staff that will accommodate you like royalty, to the most spectacular views of the mountains, the twice a day experiences and all the knowledge about such an intriguing species such as the Cape Vultures. One of our favourites was the visit to the Permaculture Camp where you can see with your own eyes where the food served at the lodge comes from as well as learn the basic concepts of the nature cycle that guides Permaculture principles and techniques, which can be applied everywhere on the planet. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious tents with the best quality linen and comforting views of the mountain and the Blyde bush. The top indulgence experience is to enjoy the outside shower under the stars and using the natural bio products from Africology, offered as complementary. There is no aircon in the rooms since it is an off grid property, nevertheless there is a ceiling fan that will keep you well ventilated. The food and kitchen staff were very professional at attending our dietary requirements, though there is a need to keep investing in vegan and plant based recipes to be in harmony with the Permaculture concept too. The fresh swimming pool was a delight in the middle of the hot reason and I cannot stress enough the kindness and professionalism of all the staff. This is a 6* experience in nature in one of the most beautiful places in Africa.

    They could have been a coffee station in the room , but they explained to us it was because the lodge was an Eco lodge but they are planing to do something about that.

    We had to leave early however there was an amazing Continental breakfast

    This lodge is superb, such a big recommendation! ✨ Apart from the kindest and most considerate staff that make you feel so welcome and taken care of, the views are to die for from the property (which you have from everywhere, even your outdoor shower!). Also, the beds are really amazing. There is so much attention to detail here, from hand written notes and flowers upon your welcome, to fresh filtered water in every room, to amazing smelling biological shower products and lotions, to dietary considerations for each guest… Which takes us to the final highlight of this place: the FOOD! Amazing cuisine, even if you’re vegetarian…. We had a brilliant time here and can really recommend everyone. 10/10

    The vulture viewing was quite underwhelming. Staff were very nice but a bit over eager at times. No hot water in the rooms on cloudy days due to solar power.

    Excellent food from a lovely chef. Very comfortable bed. Friendly staff.
