    Spa is nice but not set up for pedicures. Lady doing it had to use 2 iPhone torches as the room are so dark and she also had to do on her knees as no proper pedicure station. Not a good experience she obviously felt embarrassed. Not worth the money watching the girl struggle

    Beautiful location. Staff are excellent and very friendly. Game drives were brilliant

    During our stay in June the game drives felt quite disappointing since the non-standard game was nowhere to be seen. In three game drives we did, we only saw one of the big fives (rhino). In comparison to the Kruger, this was a bummer on the otherwise excellent few days we stayed here.

    The location and the room is exceptional. The staff is one big family and they really do their best to make you feel at ease and to make you feel comfortable. The service is great and they are flexible. For example we really liked the included laundry service that was “free” of charge. We also liked the fact they were allowing us to stay a bit longer the day of checkout since we had a late evening flight.

    The road to get to the lodge is grave for Kilometers and if you have a sedan or hatchback I would not recommend using it to driver to the lodge.

    The place and the views are great. I also love the fact that everything even premium alcohol was inclusive. Our guide Bra Sam was the nicest most knowledgeable guide I've ever encountered.

    The property was exceptional so clean and it felt like a true home from home. The staff could not do enough for us and were so welcoming and attentive. The room we stayed in was like it’s on sanctuary plus the food and the drinks were 10/10. Don’t think about it just book it. Best experience we have ever had.

    The food needs attention as it’s a bit dated. Need snacks as there was no lunch option.

    Beautifully decorated and lush. Loved the spacious rooms.

    The rough journey to get there, a stretch of about 30 kms traveling on gravel road. The road is okayish but would recommend a van and avoid taking a small vehicle

    My visit was truly exceptional. The lodge itself is a hidden gem surrounded by nature and the view of mountains 👌. The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making sure that every aspect of my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The food served at the lodge was delicious, with a variety of options that catered to all tastes. Overall, the lodge was nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend this hidden oasis to anyone looking for a serene and relaxing getaway.

    It’s placed amongst amazing mountains which in turn makes it very hard to access. It takes 3 hours from Joburg and 1 hour on a dirt road. We didn’t feel comfortable driving ourselves and the accomodation doesn’t offer a pick up- when asked they tried charging close to $800 aud each way which is excessive. We didn’t see many animals and not all of the big 5 I think because it’s new and need to add more animals / need the animals to become more comfortable with humans and cars around

    Such a beautiful property, the staff are soooo lovely and helpful, the accommodation is great and it’s all inclusive which is even better!

    Babohi is a rare gem. A divine experience from the beginning til the end. The hotel settings and design are sublime, not to mention the quality of service and amenities. Every employee is attentive and smiling. We received outstanding service, from the reception to the restaurant, from the maintenance of our suite to the spa. A special mention to Pieter and Rudolf, who made our stay an everyday paradise. An unforgettable experience that we recommend to everyone! Spacious room, comfortable bed, impeccable cleanliness, varied food and interesting selection of drinks. Spa treatments were well executed. Last but not least, our extremely experienced guide Rudolf took us on unreal and memorable "safari games".
