Comfortable and relaxing. Very comfortable, clean and tidy. Beautiful view with trees and a pond. Friendly service. I will use the accommodation again.

Gerieflik en ontspannend. Baie gerieflik, skoon en netjies. Pragtige uitsig met bome en 'n dam. Vriendelike diens. Ek sal weer van die verblyf gebruik maak.

It was an incredible experience. It is a beautiful place in the forest. It was an incredible experience. It is a beautiful house and very tidy with everything you need. The owner is really a caring person who makes sure that her guests are taken care of. I will visit there again for sure. The animals were everywhere, the pool was a highlight. Thank you very much aunty.

Dit was 'n ongelooflike ervaring. Dit is 'n pragtige plekkie in die bos. Dit was 'n ongelooflike ervaring. Dit is 'n pragtige huisie en mooi netjies met alles wat jy nodig het. Die eienaar is regtig 'n omgee mens wat vir seker is dat haar gaste versorg word. Ek sal vir seker weer daar gaan kuier. Die diere was oral te sien, die swembad was 'n hoogtepunt. Baie dankie tannie.

We saw different types of animals and the place was also great. Karibu River Retreat was great because it was raining, but we had our braai on a fireplace.

Thank you Matebesi for your visit to Karibu River Retreat and Game Lodge and your kind review. The weather is always unpredictable but fortunately, you had a spacious unit with an inside braai. You are always welcome.

Dankie Matebesi vir jou besoek aan Karibu River Retreat and Game Lodge en jou vriendelike resensie. Die weer is altyd onvoorspelbaar, maar gelukkig het jy 'n ruim eenheid met 'n binnebraai gehad. Jy is altyd welkom.

Baie rustig. Ontspan lekker in stilte. Rustige bosveldatmosfeer, veilig en baie vriendelke mense. Sal weer binnekort bespreking maak. Dankie aan Hilda en haar span.

Very peaceful if you like silence around you. We only stayed overnight after a day on the golf course and left early for Sunday's round of golf. Would like to know more about load shedding schedule. Even if it was only via WhatsApp so that you can be prepared if you arrive in the dark of night. The shower head was clogged, only a few thin streams came out. Furthermore, we really enjoyed it. Thank you very much Hilda, your place is neat and clean. Will use your hospitality again. Also already told many people how nice it is there. The giraffes came to greet us early in the morning. It was a privilege to be part of your nature.

Baie rustig as jy hou van stilte om jou. Ons het slegs oornag na 'n dag op die golfbaan en vroeg weg vir die Sondag se rondte golf. Sal graag meer wou weet ivm beurtkragskedule. Al was dit net per WhatsApp sodat mens kan voorbereid wees as jy in die donker nag arriveer. Die stortkop was verstop, slegs 'n paar dun straaltjies uitgekom. Verder het ons dit baie geniet. Baie dankie Hilda, jou plekkie is netjies en skoon. Sal weer van jul gasvryheid gebruik maak. Het ook reeds vir baie mense vertel hoe lekker dit daar is. Die kameelperde het ons vroegoggend kom groet. Dis was 'n voorreg om deel van jul natuur te wees.

It was fantastic. Everything was fantastic. From our arrival there to our departure. We were warmly welcomed at the lodge and everyone was so friendly. Very clean and tidy. We want to make this a monthly institution. Thank you very much.

Dit was fantasties. Alles was fantasties. Van ons aankoms daar tot ons uit is. Ons was hartlik verwelkom by die lodge en almal so vriendelik. Baie skoon en netjies. Ons wil dit 'n maandelikse instelling maak. Baie dankie.

No signal, no WiFi. Booked a separate unit, for no reason was moved to another unit that shares a geyser with the next unit (and then has poor supply). Was there for work and there is no signal and no WiFI available, so couldn't get any work done.

Geen sein, geen WiFi. Het 'n aparte eenheid geboek, is vir geen rede verskuif na ander eenheid wat 'n geyser deel met die volgende eenheid (en dan swak toevoer het). Was daar vir werk en daar is geen sein en geen WiFI beskikbaar nie, kon sodoende niks werk gedoen kry nie.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I value honesty and need to know. I humbly apologize. I have upgraded you to a larger unit with a living area to make it comfortable for you. Due force causes the shared geyser to give poor pressure because then the pressure pump does not work. There is a weak signal at the River Retreat because it is located down by the river and then if load shedding is applied, then we have even weaker to no signal. Wi-Fi and a generator (which will disturb the silence of nature) can be installed, but unfortunately this will also make the price of the accommodation more expensive.

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ek waardeer eerlikheid en dit is nodig om te weet. Ek vra nederig omverskoning. Ek het jou opgegradeer na 'n groter eenheid toe met 'n leefarea om dit vir jou gerieflik te maak. Beurtkrag veroorsaak dat die gedeelde geyser swak drukking gee want dan werk die drukpomp nie. Daar is swak sein by die River Retreat want dit is onder by die rivier geleë en dan as daar nog beurtkrag toegepas word, dan het ons nog swakker tot geen sein nie. Wi-Fi en 'n generator (wat die stilte van die natuur gaan versteur) kan ingesit word, maar dit sal ongelukkig die prys van die akkommodasie ook duurder maak.

Very pleasant, nice and peaceful stay. Very pleasant cremation, the accommodation, hospitality, cleanliness and affordability of this gem of a place. The friendliness and hospitality of all the people of Karibu was immediately noticeable. That alone made you feel right at home. If you want to be quiet and close to nature, this place is the best. Can't wait for the next time we visit Limpopo again.

Baie aangename, lekker en rustige verblyf. Baie aangename verassing, die verblyf, gasvryheid, netheid en bekostigbaarheid van hierdie juweel van 'n plekkie. Die vriendelikheid en gasvryheid van al die mense van Karibu was onmiddelik opmerkbaar. Dit alleen het jou dadelik laat tuis voel. As jy wil rustig verkeer en naby die natuur wil wees, is dié plekkie die beste. Kan nie wag vir die volgende keer wat ons weer in Limpopo gaan kuier nie.
