Loved the Nyati Safari Lodge!!!!
My 30 year old daughter and I had an amazing three days at the Nyati Lodge, went on 6 game drives, saw all kinds of animals and were able to take the time to observe them in their natural habitat. The guides were extremely knowledgeable about the area, the animals and the flora and lodge is beautiful, well-equipped and very well organized. The staff were also extremely friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. We flew into Hoedspruit and the lodge arranged transport to and from the airport. We would unequivocally recommend Nyati as a place for a true African safari experience.

Hotel pode ser no maximo um 3 estrelas. Região complicada para quem quer ver o big 5! Tem que buscar muito os animais e alguns rangers parecem desconhecer. Comida somente na hora que o hotel oferece e bem padrão. Além disso, devido à presença grande de um grupo de Dinamarqueses (e dono do hotel ser um) muitas explicações eram dadas no idioma deles (somente) e com bandeiras do país. Um pouco desreispeitoso com um numero grande de Brasileiros presentes.

Good Day Carlos, Thank you for your valuable feedback. I would like to explain the Danish flags, when the Scandinavians celebrate something like a birthday it is tradition for them to do so with the flags, this is with Danish, Swedish and Norwegian guest. It is in no means to be disrespectful to our other guest. We try our very best to celebrate or our Nationalities with their own traditions. Hope this explains it a little. Best wishes for 2020

Expected much more for the price paid. Food average. Only saw two of big five over three day period. Some game rangers very inexperienced.

Idyllic place, wonderful experience
Nyatti went above and beyond all around for us. We were on our honeymoon and were treated to an amazing welcome in the form of gifts and decorative roses. The staff were incredible, especially the guides - Azequiel was our regular game driver and was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and able to seek out the animals at will. We saw two lions up close on our first trip - amazing!! The food was also incredible as was our lodgings. Thank you Nyatti!! Hope to be back soon.

Horrible stay! I'd never go back there and would recommend anyone with ANY special requirements to not go there either. Despite of several emails with the staff before arrival telling them of my dietary requirements, I was brought out all meals with either Pork (which I don't eat as my religious belief) or onions (which I am severely allergic to). It wasn't once, it was every single meal for the night I stayed there. To add to that, after a long day at the game drive, when I got to my room, the shower in the room did not have any hot water. My husband and I spent almost an hour and a half waiting for someone to come fix it and when we finally got tired of waiting (at 10pm), we asked them to just come in the morning when we were on our early morning 5am game drive. Being the inconsiderate staff and management they are, someone knocked at our door at 11:35 pm to come in and fix it. We had made sure to call them and tell them that we're sleeping so make sure nobody comes, they didn't care. The guys kept knocking until we woke up and opened the door. They came in and out several times until they finally fixed it at 1am. We finally slept at 1:30am and woke up at 4:30 am for the game drive. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!

Dear guest, I am saddened by the fact that you did not enjoy your stay at Nyati. Please rest assured that no feedback we receive are ever ignored. We constantly strive to perfect our guest experience and even though we have entertained 37 000 guests over the last twenty years we learn and evolve every day. With respect to the special dietary requirements we have implemented a new system and procedure to do our best to avoid a similar occurrence. Unfortunately the entire camp was without water for a couple of hours that evening. Once it was brought to our attention, our investigation revealed that our main water supply pump had broken down. We worked tirelessly into the night to replace the pump. Unfortunately I was in the bush replacing the pump and never received the message that you did not want to be notified once the problem was resolved. Nyati greetings

Outstanding place. Quality out of heaven
Nyati Safari Lodge is great place to stay. We have been welcomed with a drink upon our arrival. Than Nicole introduce us a our driver for the Game drives in the mornings and afternoons Gunter. All the employees are trying to make your stay memorable as much as possible. all the meals were great, nice touch with a dinners outside by fireplace, than in the restaurant in fancy style or the dinner on the top of the Hill or or coktail stop in the reservation to overlook a sunset... Every single day there was some nice suprise from the Lodge. They made our 6 day stay outsanding. We have been treated like King and Queen. Animals in the mornings and afternoons were everywhere. In one day we have been able to see the whole big five. Than by buschwalk, Duncan explain us a lot of new things about animals. Rangers at the Nyati very knowledgeable and always their try their best to seek in reservation animals and explain all the questiion that came up to our minds. If I could give this accomodation and people who runs this place 6 stars out of five I would definitely do that. They were way way ahead of our expectacions in every meanings possible. Nyati Lodge will stay foe ever in our hearts thanks to everyone working in this beautiful place.

Could be a few more animals in the reserve, but the Nyati Lodge earns their stars in taking care of their customers. Very attentive staff with quite some good singers and dancers amongst them. Very spacious rooms and great beds. And if you’ve never vacationed with the danish, swedes or norwegians.... they’re really nice and talented people.

Não vale o que cobra
O hotel não vale o que cobra. É um lugar lindo, as instalações são boas, o quarto tem bom tamanho, mas por causa das atividades dos safaris não dá pra aproveitar muito as instalações. É all inclusive, mas vc é restrito a comer o que eles oferecem e na hora que oferecem. Se o almoço é salada, por exemplo, não existe uma segunda opção. Além disso, o hotel fica numa reserva privada dentro do Kruger Park, e apesar deles terem os big 5 é muito difícil de ver todos. Isso foi até afirmado por um dos guias do hotel. Não voltaria.

Bom custo benefício, mas poucos animais
O hotel é grande, com muitos quartos e uma área comum boa. Num geral o quarto era confortável e limpo, simples, mas aconchegante. No nosso caso em específico ficamos um pouco incomodados porque bem ao lado estavam fazendo uma obra, o barulho atrapalhou e foi bem inconveniente. Pela época que fomos, final de junho, não vimos praticamente nenhum elefante na beira do rio. A comida é sensacional, com pratos elaborados e bem preparados. Em relação aos safáris, ficamos um pouco decepcionados, ao nosso ver a reserva parece não ter tantos animais, em 2 dias (4 safáris) foi um pouco custoso achar mesmo os animais mais "comuns" da região. Nesse quesito certamente há outras opções melhores. O staff é muito prestativo e nos recebeu super bem.

Grande experiência, recomendo!
Passei três noites no lodge com minha esposa, comemorando 1 ano de casados e fomos MUITO bem atendidos por todos. Tudo muito organizado, limpo e colaboradores atenciosos para te ajudar sempre. Uma grande experiência, super recomendo! Os safáris foram incríveis, mesmo não tendo visto o Búfalo e Leopardo, de resto, vimos de tudo. Recomendo!

Excelente lodge y safari!
Excelente estancia, tanto el lodge como el staff son geniales. Pasamos unos hermosos dias disfrutando de la naturaleza, los animales y la buena atencion y comida. Nos alojamos en la olifants vila, con hermosa vista al lago por donde pasaban todo tipo de animales. No olvidaremos jamas esa mañana que nos despertaron los monos y luego pasaron por delante de nuestra vila una manada de elefantes, muy bueno!. La comida es excelente y la atención de todo el staff tambien. Los safaris tanto el de mañana como el de tarde son muy buenos, pudimos ver a los big 5! definitivamente recomiendo este lugar! muchas gracias por todo.

hotel para hacer safaris, exclusivamente.
Todo funciona bien, la comida es variada y buena. La casa en que nos alojamos, OLIFANTS 3, muy comoda y espaciosa. Si busca una experiencia en safaris y además comfort, lo va a tener. Eso sí, está lejos de la ruta principal, por lo que solo se sale cuando se hace check out.
