I feel that although it is an "Out in Africa" experience to be driven from the car park to the main venue is great, I would have preferred to be able to park my car closer to where I was staying and to have the freedom to come and go as I wished without having to arrange a lift to and from the car park by the owner. The tents are well kitted out but with breakfast being served at 9 it would be nice to have coffee and tea facility in the tents for that first cuppa when you wake up. If a flask of hot water and some fresh milk were delivered to the tent at around 7 with some cups and spoons that would be fantastic. I feel that the fact that there is no electricity in the tents should be more clearly stated so that visitors can be more prepared. The rooms are also not serviced.

I love the idea of the Out in Africa theme. The owners Ludger and Monique were very accommodating and excellent hosts. The food was fantastic!

Could do with a tin “cattle style” pool later on, the property is very well maintained and fenced off so no worries about visits from the lion you can head at night.

Incredible setting with an “Old age Safari” scene, the old Rovos Rail carriage used for hosting dinners is spectacular and the service there is second to none.

From the time that Monique picked us up at the parking area everything was just perfect. The decor is amazing and perfectly set up to enjoy nature to the fullest. The rooms are comfortable and very private. Dinner in the train was amazing, fancy and we enjoyed the conversations with Monique and Ludger about food and the environment which they both have a passion for. The food itself was amazing and we received great service. The outdoor shower at the unit was very enjoyable.

Only a tip I would place a power bank in each tent to be able to charge phones without having to go to the restaurant.

Lovely remote quiet and utterly amazing food. Beautiful deco, a very special experience. Lovely hosts. Altogether wonderful adventure. Candles in the tent really romantic. The silence and privacy is out of this world. Smelling and hearing the beautiful Zebras very close to the tent. Wow!

The theme and ambience is amazing

A fan and a plunge pool would be a welcome addition. The ability to enjoy the delicious food and drinks on the accommodation veranda would allow guests to spend more quality time at the gorgeous accommodation in privacy.

The location was superb, deep in the heart of the bush. The accommodation was unique, impeccable and super stylish. Outdoor shower was an amazing experience. Food was outstanding, compliments to the chef.

Nothing.

Great hosts who took care of us so nicely. Small lodge, quiet and peaceful. Great food. Could observe cheetahs and girafe from our tent’s deck 😀 Nice ambiance inspired by the film « Out of Africa ».

If you're looking for exclusivity, tranquility, privacy, and a culinary journey in a big 5 game reserve, look no further. Monique & Ludgar are fantastic hosts and will ensure you're well looked after during your stay. The sizeable luxury tent is decorated to take you back to a different era. The bed is extremely comfortable, and who doesn't like an outdoor shower in the bush. The food was outstanding. Can highly recommend Out in Africa Wildlife lodge for anyone who is looking for a unique, private, and luxury break away to the bush.

Nothing - it was great.

Location is very private and intimate. Gives you that lost (in a good way) feeling. Restaurant excellent as the host is a chef. Service is high touch and top notch.

The hosts Monique and Ludgar were extremely gracious and friendly. The decor was superb and transported you back to the 1920s. The beds were comfortable and the setting quiet. The included breakfast was superb. The highlight was our dinner in the train restaurant with tasty European cuisine and a great wine list.

need to shower late afternoon or risk cold water

authentic African experience with traditional finishes and fittings that transport you back to a different period. The tented accommodation was tranquil and away from the restaurant and allowed for privacy. Food was excellent and the menu Country specific and authentic. The sounds of the wild and the clear starry night were amazing for a place only 80 minutes from Johannesburg

This is a truly unique experience in getting away from it all and being treated like royalty. Everything was done to make us comfortable and enhance our Safari experience - and the food ! Aaah the food is simply something special . . . .

No electricity in the tents although they are really great. People would like to have fans in extreme conditions and also have a facility to make a cup of coffee in the morning and soak up the wild. Had to wait until breakfast at 9am to do this. Dinner Menu is decided for you and you don’t get a choice at the price charged you would want to be able to select something that you would enjoy. No choice also meant there are some meals that might not suit everyone. I would suggest sticking to a South African theme, a reason why people come to holiday here. European cuisine was absolutely terrible.
