The rooms could do with robes. The lodge could also do with more animals to increase chances of sightings on game drives.

The staff is all very friendly and accommodating. The place is stunning, all amenities are great.

There wasn't anything we didn't like but we were hoping to see elephant and rhino.

What can I say other than we had the most amazing time at Babanango game reserve. It's a fairly new reserve and our overseas guests were blown away by how much wildlife they saw. Babanango offers a top class product and we were very happy with the service from the staff, the food was exceptional and we'll definitely book again in the future.

Nothing, we enjoyed each and every moment.

From the moment we arrived, the warmth of the staff made us feel completely at home. Their hospitality was exceptional, always attentive and eager to ensure our stay was perfect. The food was another highlight , delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Every meal was a treat, and it was evident that the chefs take pride in their work. The game drive was an absolute highlight of our stay, guided by the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly Sboniso Gina. He took us on a journey through the history of Babanango, providing fascinating insights into the area and its wildlife. Another thrill was the zip line — an exhilarating experience that gave us a new perspective of the valley. The adrenaline rush, combined with the stunning views, made it a must-do activity during our visit.

Nothing. We even extended our stay!

Rooms- modern, very comfortable, pool towels included. Pool - stunning waterfall pool, the loungers as round the pool are padded and recline, there's an outside table for lunch. Boma - where they have dinner aorund a huge fire pit, tables are set around the fire pit and the buffet is very extensive with lots of veggie options. Meats are cooked on the braii Inside - comfy chair areas to sit around and relax, bar area and inside dinning area where breakfast is served and other meals during the rain. Safari private tours - We had Siboniso, he was so lovely and worked so far to find us game. You get an early morning drive and a mid afternoon drive included everyday. You can go on 1 or both daily. You stop half way to have a drink and some snacks in the wild. Absolutely incredible. Staff- the staff are unbelievable. Attentive to your every need. All staff seem to be doing multiple roles making for a friendly environment. Animals - home to the big 5! We saw cheetah and cubs, lions, rhino rolling in the mud, zebra, giraffe and lots of buck.

Absolutely nothing.

The cleanliness of Valley Lodge is impeccable. Lumka certainly went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. Mr X on the Game Drive was great, he tried his best to help us spot as many animals as we could and took extra care especially since we had our 3 month old with us. The food was amazing. Over all Valley Lodge is peaceful and Tranquil. We will definitely be back.
