    coffee was sub optimal I'm sure home-made rusks would be much nicer than the industrial bulk rusks if possible ?

    breakfast was perfect . lovely fresh fruit salad every day and eggs cooked to order . Delicious home made biscuits in the morning !

    The camp itself is really beautiful and I loved our tent. The first night after our first ride the crew organised an amazing dinner in the bush. I would like to thank Solly as well for sharing all his knowledge with us.

    We had booked 2 deluxe chalets, but it looked like we got only one deluxe chalet with an upstairs lookout. The door to the lookout however, could not be opened, it was missing a handle. My mum and her niece were sharing that particular chalet and their bathroom did not have a door - awkward situation that needed to be navigated with one of the two needing to wait outside the chalet at times. Their chalet also had a massive problem of flying insects. While our chalet was not too bad, the insects at their chalet made it almost impossible to have a shower after the evening game drive in the outdoor shower area.

    The staff are lovely. Max our guide was very good. We had so much fun laughing and joking around between sightings and game drives. He is also very well informed and we learned a lot. The animals in the park are in good condition and made for an excellent viewing experience.

    Not much.

    Game drives every morning and evening we're included in our stay. It was excellent to be assigned to one ranger, who looked after us throughout our stay. Charles was a star! The accommodation tents are super spacious and well-enough equipped. Meals were good, and the bar was well stocked. Our only wish would have been to be able to stay much later around the campfire. Sadly, we couldn't do that as that would have kept our ranger up late into the night (you need to be accompanied to your tent, as there is no fence separating you from the game.

    We have been to many lodges before in the same price range and we found certain things lacking, for instance: The snacks on the drives were shocking. There were only some rusks in the morning, no muffins or anything else. The after noon drive there were only meat samoosas when we told the lodge one of our party do not eat meat. The second day we took our own snacks on the drive. There was no water offered only the drink you specified for the drink stop. It is not expensive to open a packet of crisps. Most lodges normally give you some biltong and nuts and raisins etc . We found this very dissapointing. When returning from the drives there were no hot towels or wet facecloths to wipe your hands. It is the small things that make you want to go back.

    The lodge and the rooms were beautiful. We loved the outdoor shower. Our guide (Charles) was excellent and very accomodating. The food was pleasant but nothing fantastic, actually really basic with not much choice, but we did not go hungry.

    No coffee and tea facilities in the rooms so you can't have a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise for instance or the stars at night in private.

    Loved the location and the game viewing and beds were extremely comfortable. Meals were also great with breakfast in the bush and a private dinner in the library.

    The drums that we expected to hear in the morning wasn't there. . Variety of the food wasn't really up to the best

    Our Ranger Max was excellent. His knowledge about the animals was very good and at times he had a humorous way to present his stories.. Although he is very young he is definitely an asset to the company.

    The property is beautiful - makes you feel like you are in nature but still manages to have the right balance of luxury. Have been to their Kokha Moyà branch too in the Kruger and both are simply stunning, The staff go well out of their way to make sure the stay is a memorable one, special shout out to Max and Ivan who were always available and really went the extra mile. The drives with the other guests were also great fun, made great friends from all over the world. Truly special experience.

    The best value for money safari in South Africa, in our opinion. There are plusher lodges, and there are bigger reserves. But Honeyguide/Entabeni is a fantastic lodge in a private reserve, for a fraction of the cost of the alternatives. The rangers are brilliant. There was one issue with the room, solved easily and amicably. We've been multiple times, and would happily go again.

    One minor detail, we ran out of hot water quickly at the tent. Didn’t affect the trip since we only stayed for one night.

    Beautiful camp in Limpopo. The camp is conveniently located at 3hs drive from Pretoria. Staff very friendly. Great place for a weekend with family.
