Two nights, there was loud music coming from a nearby camp which went on until the early hours of the morning!!! We thought this was not allowed in a game reserve? We did report this to the host, who apologized. What else could he do? I would like to believe he took the matter further.

The peace and quiet and being close to nature which is why we chose this getaway. The host also surprised us with champagne to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary!

I can recommend the traditional dinner, the staff was very friendly.

It was a great experience, especially for someone who is Adventurous

The game drive did not meet our expectation. Not even one of the big five animals did we see, it was just your normal giraffes, kudus and wild beast.

The place offers exposure to experience nature at its best and the place is so calm and quiet.

We would have liked to have a fan in our tent. I believe that it would make a big difference to the scorching heat! Also, the coffee mugs were a bit damaged (paint coming off) which left a few pieces behind after the drink. this could improve.

Staff were great! Very helpful and kind. They went out of their way to give me and my Fiancé a great experience! The stay was very calm and quiet for us to have a great rest as well.

It was a bit noisy during the night from other guests who were partying all night long . however they did not bother us or stop us from coming back.

The bush camp in a tent was more than what we expected so we enjoyed it. experiencing the rustic ablutions was a thrill for us as we had never experienced it b the host was very friendly and helpful. we will definitely go back there when time permits again.

The beds were a bit hard but sleepable.

It was peaceful and the stuff was always there to help when we needed it.

All of the staff that we met were incredibly friendly and helpful. The bush views from all of the accommodation option were great with a lot of birdlife around. A great location, close to the self-drive route in Dinokeng.

The actual booking on Booking.com was confusing as up until the actual booking was made and confirmed my wife and I who are in our 70's did not know that our 2 sleeper accommodation was in a converted roof top tent. This could have been a major inconvenience if we were not as agile as we are. We were offered alternative ground level accommodation swap out at the venue which we elected not to take as sleeping in a rooftop tent was a novel adventure for us. The electric geyser which was supposed to supply hot water to my daughter's family attached bathroom at the Umbrella Thorn Family tent never ever worked properly which was very inconvenient for a family with 2 small children as an attached bath facility's were their express requirement. Other off tent hot water facility's were however supplied.

The stay was really great and my whole family of 9 really enjoyed it. Staff and owner were extremely helpful and facilities were as expected. A great weekend

The place is advertised as luxury tents. The tent was very basic and the bathroom was very open for this time of the year. Also we found droppings on one of the beds, which needed to be cleaned before we check in. Overall it is a good camping setup, but not luxury tents. Not value for what we paid.

Location is great. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Stayed in July 2025

Not a negative but a weekend stay is definitely not long enough to get the full experience of what Dinokeng has to offer.

Beautiful location, area very quiet and clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. Sitting by your own private tent with a fire listening to the wildife around you is amazing.
