Wonderful experience. The accommodation was beautiful. The food was out of this world (compliments to the amazing chef we had). The guide we had (KG) was amazing. So engaging, always in good spirits and went out of his way to make it a good experience for everyone. The general staff was also very friendly and helpful. The only downside was the drinks and the lack of having any braai/boma fire. We actually chose this place over another place because the drinks were included. But honestly most of the time between meals and activities, there is no one around to actually ask for drinks and the choices were also quite limited. As for the braai and fire - we were told we'd have a nice braai outside on the second night, which never happened, and when we (and our fellow guests) requested for the boma fire at least, we were told they do not have a fire pit anymore. Considering that this is a huge attraction and reason we (and clearly other guests) went there, the fact that accommodation in the bush simply cannot provide this was a really big disappointment for us. We still enjoyed the rest of the experience and glad we went, but this is enough for us to unfortunately not return again, so I would urge them to correct this and urge future clients to ensure this before booking.

Absolutely awesome! Most delicious food, friendliest staff and great service. As a family with a disabled son and a daughter with a super allergy to herbs, this team took such good care of us! My daughter was able to enjoy her meals with gusto without worrying about a visit to a hospital - Johannes, the cook, looked after her exceptionally well! It was so nice to be able to rest there! And what an amazing guide Ben was - first class. I rested so much (and gained weight from all the good eating), it was super pampering weekend.

Absoluut awesome! Heerlikste kos, vriendelikste staf en puik diens. As 'n gesin met 'n gestremde seun en 'n dogter met super-allergie vir kruie het hierdie span hulle so oor ons ontferm! My dogter kon haar etes met oorgawe geniet sonder om bekommerd te wees vir 'n besoek aan 'n hospitaal - Johannes, die kok, het haar besonders goed na omgesien! Dit was so lekker om daar te kon rus! En wat 'n amazing gids was Ben nie - eersteklas. Ek het so gerus (en gewig opgetel van al die lekker eet), dit was superbederf-naweek.

Very quiet and private. It was good to get away from families and child vacationers. Very nice luxury tents with everything you need. You cannot get to the camp by yourself. You are picked up by Kwafubesi's staff and then kidnapped to the land of tranquility. No children are allowed, which means you can switch off and rest. The game drives were very good. Werner, our guide, was very sharp. We saw lions, rhinos, leopards and buffalo. Four out of the Big 5 is not bad, and then also hordes of all the other animals. Food was probably the one department that could improve. The variation in the set three-course meals was good, but the "sirloin" was e.g. overcooked No option was given for your preference on how well done you want the meat. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Make sure you have everything you need along the lines of snacks etc. otherwise you have to be taken back to the main camp at Mabula to buy it. There is a full bar if you might get thirsty.

Baie rustig en privaat. Dit was goed om weg te kom van families en kindervakansiegangers. Baie mooi luukse tente met alles wat mens nodig het. Jy kan nie by die kamp uitkom self nie. Jy word opgelaai deur Kwafubesi se personeel en dan ontvoer na die land van rustigheid. Geen kinders word toegelaat nie, wat beteken jy kan lekker afskakel en rus. Die wildritte was baie goed. Werner, ons gids, was baie skerp. Ons het leeus, renosters, luiperds en buffels gesien. Vier uit die Groot 5 is nie sleg nie, en dan ook hordes van al die ander diere. Kos was seker die een afdeling wat kon verbeter. Die variasie in die vaste driegangmaaltye was goed, maar die "sirloin" was bv. te gaar. Geen opsie was gegee vir jou voorkeur oor hoe gaar jy die vleis soek nie. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Maak seker jy het alles wat jy nodig het in die lyn van peuselhappies ens. anders moet jy teruggeneem word na die hoofkamp by Mabula om dit te gaan koop. Daar is wel 'n volledige kroeg as jy dalk dors word.

Very rushed and disappointing. So disappointed after our visit to Kwafubesi, which is a pity, because it's such a beautiful place with so much potential. Our ranger was on his own mission. He followed the wildlife he wanted to see, not necessarily what we were interested in. Not very hospitable and didn't really talk to us, so the atmosphere in the camp was quite strained. It felt like we were on a very tight schedule - the last thing you need if you're trying to relax. Dinner: on the website it says "traditional African cuisine" is the chef's specialty, but what we got was cold McCain veggies, a piece of inedible, hard duck wing with no meat and 2 hash browns? R215 for a bottle of Beyerskloof Pinotage is ridiculous! After dinner we wanted to chill around the fire, but the ranger that had to accompany us to our tent kept looking at his watch impatiently, which made us uncomfortable, so we headed back to our tent at 20:00? Tents: Incredibly beautiful, but it's very cold in the tent. A gas heater or something like that would have made it more pleasant. Our one electric blanket wasn't working, so we had to share a bed. Like I said, a lot of potential, but very disappointing.

Baie gejaag en teleurstellend. So teleurgesteld na ons kuier by Kwafubesi wat jammer is want dit is so mooi plek met so baie potensiaal. Ons veldwagter was op sy eie missie gewees. Hy het agter wild aangery wat hy wou sien, nie wat ons noodwendig wou sien nie. Nie baie gasvry nie en het baie min gesels met ons so die atmosfeer in die kamp was baie styf. Dit het omtrent gevoel asof ons op n baie noue tydskedule was - die laaste ding wat jy soek as jy bietjie wil is ontspan. Aandete: op die webwerf word daar gesê tradisionele "African cuisine" is die sjef se spesialiteit, maar wat ek gekry het was koue McCain groente, 'n stuk taai oneetbare eendvlerk met geen vleis nie en 2 hash browns? R215 vir bottel Beyerskloof Pinotage is belaglik! Na aandete wou ons nog bietjie kuier voor die vuur, maar die veldwagter wat ons na ons tent toe moet vergesel het die heeltyd gesug en na sy horlosie gekyk, dit het ons so ongemaklik gemaak dat ons maar 20:00 terug is tent toe! Tente: Ongelooflik mooi, maar dis vrek koud in daai tent. 'n Gas heater of iets soortgelyk sou dit baie meer aangenaam maak. Ons een elektriese kombers het nie gewerk nie, so ons moes maar 'n bed deel. Soos ek sê baie potensiaal, maar baie teleurstellend.

Fun, relaxed and beautiful weekend. Kwafubesi is a beautiful lodge. We had excellent service. Food was outstanding. We all had a wonderful weekend and definitely recommend Kwafubesi to anyone who loves the bushveld and wants to be spoiled. The manager and ranger are very friendly and accommodating. We saw 4 of the Big Five and Greg the Ranger went out of his way to make our game drives special. We had a wonderful experience.
