Nyati Safari Lodge

We had a great experience at Nyati Safari Lodge, from check-in to check-out. We stayed for six days and had a wonderful time. All the staff were friendly and polite, and the game drives were both knowledgeable and enjoyable. We did four game drives with Peter, which were exciting adventures as we searched for animals. Also, Lux and Henry were great and knowledgeable. The food was delicious, and everything was well-organized. There are a few areas that could use some attention and improvement: -The outdoor restaurant was difficult to enjoy during our stay because of windy and cool weather. It would be helpful if they provided heaters for such conditions. -During the buffet, I noticed some guests refilling their plates without using new ones, which could pose a hygiene risk, especially since many guests were coughing and sneezing. -It would be great if they offered hot drinks like cappuccinos or lattes. When I asked if I could buy one, I was told they didn’t have any, though a coffee machine could easily provide this option. Overall, I highly recommend Nyati Safari Lodge to anyone seeking adventure along with a luxury stay.

We had a lovely time at Nyati! They offer 2 game drives a day (one early in the morning and one in the afternoon), which were incredible. We saw the big 5 and many more animals, and our guide Henry was great! The food was very good and they always had a vegetarian option. Drinks were great too. Our bungalow had a view of the river and we saw so many elephant every day! Monkeys were also fun to watch but beware of them trying to steal your things haha.

Incredible experience and great service. Every part of our stay at Nyati was perfect. We managed to see the Big 5 and found the morning and afternoon game drives to be worthwhile. Amazing food and great hospitality, made this an incredibly relaxing stay that we could not fault.

Going to Nyati is like spending time with very good friends but being treated like royalty. "You are welcome" would be the response to any request. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is divine, just way too much eating.... Game drives are full of excitement, and they do their best to satisfy your bush need, unfortunately the game is not tied to trees... so you see what you see. The bush walk is very interesting, and the guides are extra cautious to make sure you are safe. Nyati is by far one of our most favorite Go to places. Thanks to Juan and his team for making it worth the while. You are the best team ever!

Fantastic adventure from start to end. Daily game drives included, and most enjoyable. Clocked up the Big Five just coming in from the Hoedspruit airport, and then every other day again during our stay. Outstanding cuisine as well - as far from bush fare as you can imagine. Cordon Bleu and then some.

We have just finished a 3 night stay and wish we’d stayed longer. The lodge is clean and well decorated in a traditional style. Looking over the river affords the luxury of seeing animals without going on a drive! There are also monkeys, impalas and warthogs in the grounds! The food is really good for all meals and we enjoyed that only breakfast is buffet style. The staff are so attentive and amazingly friendly. A special shout out to Martha who served us well with drink top ups and a huge smile! It was my birthday whilst there and the staff made such an effort. It made for amazing memories. We got some incredible pictures from our game drives. The rangers were very knowledgeable and funny. We had some spa treatments whilst here, again would recommend. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in one of the suites, so when we first entered the suite, it was amazing! The deck and private pool overlooking the river are awesome. The guides were knowledgeable and fun, the food delicious, and we enjoyed the driving range and quad bike rides immensely.

Great location right on the river and wonderful accommodations! We were able to see lots of wildlife coming to the river right from our porch, as well as on the safari drives. The staff and guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. Be sure to include a Friday evening in your stay for the resort events!

Wow, where do I start?! From the moment we were warmly welcomed by Brandon at the airport to the moment we were waved goodbye by the entire team, we loved every second. We could list a thousand highlights but what really made it such a memorable holiday was the staff at Nyati. A special mention goes to Rome-Marie for her kindness and professionalism and Henry for his knowledge and dedication to the animals and his job. Finally, Daniel, for his friendliness, passion and warmth. He is a real credit to Nyati and a lovely gentleman all around. He shared his enthusiasm and answered all of the questions that were asked with thoughtfulness and expertise. The waitresses were very hospitable and always greeted us with smiles on the faces. The food was delicious and different every night. As for the Game Drives…. there was something new to see every day and the guides were dedicated to locating the animals for us to see. Even when the animals were hiding, the guides would be bursting with facts about plants, birds and even identifying animal tracks. We definitely recommend Nyati. We have only been gone for a day but we miss it already and are planning our next trip back! Thank you Nyati for the experience of a lifetime!
