One of the best places we visited during our three-week honeymoon, thanks to the kindness and attentiveness of the staff, the breathtaking views, and the sense of peace the place offers. What makes it even more special is knowing that your money supports a project with purpose, focusing on environmental sustainability, education and local community. One unforgettable moment was waking up at 4 a.m. to the sound of heavy footsteps, only to discover two giraffes right in front of our tent. Encounters like this are rare given the size of the property, but it shows the beauty of the surroundings. Even on your way to the lodge, you might spot some wildlife, almost like having your own private game drive. We also did a sunset drive with a guide, which was a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend spending at least two or three nights here, with a full day dedicated just to relaxing in the lodge.

A great place to stop before heading for Kruger (or on the way back). The lodge is about 20 to 25 minutes off the the R36. Your car will be parked safely inside the highly secured compound and you will be transferred by a ranger to the camp. The tent is basic but sizeable and comfortable. The bathrooms are stylish and spacious. Tents have an electric fan against the summer heat. The main lodge has good internet and a lovely view on the mountains. Breakfast and dinner were both very delicious. Chef, very well done :) Staff was very friendly and attentive - 11 out of 10. The vultures are very worthwhile seeing. Thus, get up early and enjoy …

I loved everything

I loved the tent, I loved the outdoor shower and the bed was so comfortable. I enjoyed going on the nature walk and spotting some vultures. The food was also incredible

Rather over priced. Rooms need a coffee/ tea station. The place lacks soul!

Beautiful setting in a wonderful spot. The staff were exceptional

The Internet could be slightly improved, but given all the rest this is considered unimportant.

The whole experience is exceptional! Every staff member went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. The staff is friendly and very professional, and the rooms/tents of a 5-star setting, are spacious, comfortable, and very clean, modern showers (inside and outside), meals outstanding, a permaculture garden providing organic food and used to teach soil improvement methods to the local community, and the vulture sighting experience of high quality, informative and staff very knowledgeable. We were a family (6 adults and 3 teenagers) and for us was one of the most likable spots in our RSA tour of 16 days, Hopefully, next time we can stay longer than 2 nights. Giraffes and other wild animals are free on the grounds and visited us during our stay, making it a truly remarkable experience.

We expected more about the vultures but were a bit disappointed that we did not learn and see more from the vultures. The name Vulture Conservany is a bit misleading. As we were the only guests, we felt a bit uncomfortable.

Lovely atmosphere and infrastructure, extremely stylish and well integrated into the nature

Wifi in the rooms would have been an advantage.

The location and facilities are exceptional. The staff are friendly and helpful.

The drive from the gate (where your car is left behind) up to the lodge and back was very time consuming. If you are planning to do day trips, this is not really the right spot. Even so if you want to see wildlife as there are very few animals at the property.

Beautiful location, very new property. The tent was well equipped. Top notch friendly crew and outstanding food. Ideal spot for a relaxing day, to swim, to read a book.

The food, service of staff and general comfort is exceptional. The and views of the lodge against the mountain is breathtaking. Our stay was great value for money in comparison to other luxury lodges of a similar kind.

To have to leave and not stay longer.

This is the most beautiful place you will stay in Blyde River Canyon area. All the experience is top notch! From the extremely friendly staff that will accommodate you like royalty, to the most spectacular views of the mountains, the twice a day experiences and all the knowledge about such an intriguing species such as the Cape Vultures. One of our favourites was the visit to the Permaculture Camp where you can see with your own eyes where the food served at the lodge comes from as well as learn the basic concepts of the nature cycle that guides Permaculture principles and techniques, which can be applied everywhere on the planet. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious tents with the best quality linen and comforting views of the mountain and the Blyde bush. The top indulgence experience is to enjoy the outside shower under the stars and using the natural bio products from Africology, offered as complementary. There is no aircon in the rooms since it is an off grid property, nevertheless there is a ceiling fan that will keep you well ventilated. The food and kitchen staff were very professional at attending our dietary requirements, though there is a need to keep investing in vegan and plant based recipes to be in harmony with the Permaculture concept too. The fresh swimming pool was a delight in the middle of the hot reason and I cannot stress enough the kindness and professionalism of all the staff. This is a 6* experience in nature in one of the most beautiful places in Africa.

The staff, how clean it was, the FOOD!

They could have been a coffee station in the room , but they explained to us it was because the lodge was an Eco lodge but they are planing to do something about that.

We had to leave early however there was an amazing Continental breakfast

This lodge is superb, such a big recommendation! ✨ Apart from the kindest and most considerate staff that make you feel so welcome and taken care of, the views are to die for from the property (which you have from everywhere, even your outdoor shower!). Also, the beds are really amazing. There is so much attention to detail here, from hand written notes and flowers upon your welcome, to fresh filtered water in every room, to amazing smelling biological shower products and lotions, to dietary considerations for each guest… Which takes us to the final highlight of this place: the FOOD! Amazing cuisine, even if you’re vegetarian…. We had a brilliant time here and can really recommend everyone. 10/10

The vulture viewing was quite underwhelming. Staff were very nice but a bit over eager at times. No hot water in the rooms on cloudy days due to solar power.

Excellent food from a lovely chef. Very comfortable bed. Friendly staff.

To have a pool or jacuzzi on my apartment and the outside shower could have been on the mountain view side.

The food awesome,
