Wonderfully relaxing and appreciating the neat facilities.
We camped on the caravan site with our Skipper Oyster trailer. The trailer handled the dirt road to the stand with ease. Beautiful location, clean bathrooms, friendly reception and helpful staff. Barbecue and bathrooms are cleaned daily. Pitches each have their own water tap, power (caravan blue plug type) and braai stand. The 5 pitches are very close to each other, so go as a minimum of 2 pitches next to each other as friends or family, or you will have to make friends with your neighbor very soon. The place is really worth it if you are looking for tranquility for a few days, in the forest under the stars and a stone's throw from the West Rand where we live. Will make a visit there again.

Fantastic weekend getaway with friends.
We were upgraded from a caravan site to a luxury tented home. We were welcomed with open arms and received friendly service at all times. The grounds were clean and tidy at all times. The braai facilities were cleaned early every morning and new wood was brought every day. We were on nice hiking trails and really enjoyed our time at Shamba Yetu Mountain lodge. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
I like to zip around and always use the website to book. This was one of my personal favorites for sure! My two daughters (12 and 14) and I just wanted to get away from the city. 2 days before we arrive they call to make sure I know the way and have all the numbers I need. When I got there there was a bridge with water overflowing (after the previous day's rain) Heather and Viona came with the bakkie and picked me up, drove me over the river in my own car, no issue. We drive up the mountain to the tents. They show me and the girls around while Joseph unloads all our things (3 girls can fit). Heather asks if we like walking and offers to take us for a walk the next morning and meet Bambie (the tame Njala ewe). So we walk and Viona tells us about the farm, trees, history and how their dream became a reality. They listen to my children's stories about Anime, friends, their weird views on life. When we finished there, Heather called the neighboring farm and arranged for us to go look at the lions. None of this was part of their job, but they chose to sacrifice their personal time for our sake. I haven't met two such amazing, real people for a long time. It's weird these days. Apart from the hospitality, the stay in the tent is something else. It's glamping. You hear the foxes and lions sing to each other through the night. The birds wake you up and you can greet the day in the fun-beautiful forest. You are part of the painting. Joseph even came to save us from a frog. Peace of mind, a piece of heaven that I would recommend to anyone who wants to get away from the city. Shamba Yetu, you will see us again for sure! Thanks for the beautiful memories!

Our getaway was peaceful, safe and service was hospitable and comfortable.
The tent we lived in was large and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Enrica was an absolute star. She stopped by just before we left, and kept time with when we were supposed to arrive. She helped us with wood and ice, and was particularly hospitable. I am in the industry myself, and it was nice for me to experience it a bit from the other side. The game drive was wonderful and we saw and experienced so much of nature. We went for a walk every day, it was safe and the nature was beautiful. Even our neighbors were friendly. It was my little girl's first time experiencing a farm pond, so she enjoyed herself, we all did.

The break that brought our life a new future.
The place is breathtaking and incredibly quiet. The perfect getaway in the woods. Everything you need is already there. The people are incredibly friendly and happy to help where they can. Unbeknownst to us, their staff cleaned the place every morning and made the bed. One really doesn't have to do anything except rest. I also got engaged to my partner this weekend with the most beautiful view. Would like to thank everyone at Shamba Yetu for the wonderful time.

The staff are salt of the earth people. Incredibly friendly and genuinely care about the happiness and comfort of their visitors. The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful with a view over the Magaliesberge. We stayed very comfortably in the fixed tent and had everything we needed. Nice sitting area with a braai and a fire pit. Chef Heather arranged a romantic picnic for us by the river with a large selection of food to choose from. Overall a great getaway with luxury and comfort.
