    At the end of my three-week tour through the Kruger National Park, I spent three nights in this camp. It was fantastic! The staff are very friendly and helpful. And the tents are incredibly comfortable! Nothing is missing. There is seating on the terrace and an easy to use gas barbecue. The kitchen in the tent also leaves nothing to be desired, everything you need is there. The bed is huge and you can sleep well in it. The shower and the bathroom in general are really great! So nice: every evening there was a little story on my bed and a matching little animal figure as a gift. Such a lovely idea! It makes your heart beat faster. There is absolutely nothing to complain about. I would love to come back when I have the chance. Greetings from Germany.

    My parents visited Nkuhlu for their wedding anniversary. They cannot stop talking about how amazing the accommodation and employees are. A big thank you to Hazel, Unita, Granny, Meisie, Aubrey, Whiskey, and Doctor for making this such a memorable stay. From assisting with baggage to calling my parents at night when animals were spotted, and everything in between. The Nkuhlu team made it an unforgettable experience.

    too many lights on at night - destroys the bush atmosphere. Need some sort of ruling about smoking in the tents - spoils things for the neighbour!

    location and view excellent

    In the photos it seems more in the bushes with tents scattered in the area, but they were close to each other. There is braai facility and it would be more useful if there is more option to cook in braai to buy in the shop.

    Very well equipped with facilities and very cheerful and kind staffs. Comfy bed and great shower! Security with rangers. Able to cook own meals.

    There was nothing to fault.

    It is an awesome camp within Kruger, unfenced so open to all the wildlife around. The tents are beautiful with a large deck & gas braai for outdoor cooking. The staff went above & beyond to give us a fantastic experience. We really would have liked to have the elephants walk past ;) but had to make do with Buffalo, Leopard, Baboons & bush buck, & roaring lions at night - such a cool experience.

    Its location within Kruger & unfenced so that you are literally in the wild - that was amazing. The staff were awesome & went above & beyond to give us a fantastic experience We like to self cater so the fact that we could do our own braaiing & cooking was great & on a beautiful deck overlooking the river & the bush

    If other guests are noisy you hear it clearly due to no other noise pollution in the area. However, security attend to this immediately.

    What an awesome experience, overlooking the Sabi River, surrounded by noises of the wildlife in the evening. Accommodation is 5 star, and staff friendly. Best part is the early morning & late afternoon park drives, making the most of it due to perfect location.

    Fantastic stay. The accommodation was huge, modern and extremely comfortable (perhaps the most comfortable bed of our trip)! There were elephants in the camp upon our arrival and the staff made sure we knew of any other visitors we had during our stay! Cooking on the brai after our safari was a really magical touch. For what it's worth, the WiFi worked absolutely fine during our stay, in our tent. Lastly, every member of staff we met was wonderful and very kind. We only wish we had stayed for longer!

    Our 3-night stay at Nkuhlu Tented Camp in Kruger National Park was unforgettable. The camp's rustic charm and comfortable tents provided a perfect base for exploring the park's wildlife. Guided game drives led by knowledgeable rangers offered unforgettable encounters with Africa's iconic animals. The camp's location by the river provided breathtaking views, adding to the overall experience. The staff at Nkuhlu were not just friendly and accommodating, but their dedication ensured a special and safe stay, making it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend for an authentic safari adventure in Kruger.

    That we only spent one night.

    Everything was just great. The staff was wonderful, very friendly, and always there to help. We had a long and interesting chat with Game Ranger Aubrey (I hope it's spelt correctly), who cares a lot about the animals and the environment. The tents are very luxurious and very spacious, with a fully equipped kitchen, an outside braai area, and a big, comfortable bed with a mosquito net to keep the bush bugs away. The tents are unfenced, so it is a real adventure wondering what comes close to your tent at night. Hearing the bush sounds at night is just priceless. With Sabie River right at your doorstep, you are almost guaranteed to see or hear elephants, hippos, or crocodiles. (Of course there's never a guarantee - it's not a zoo - but we were lucky enough to see them all in just a few hours)

    Fabulous place. Beautiful tents placed on the shore of Sabie. The field is not fenced and therefore the animals circulate freely. We had elephants, hyenas and hypoopotami under the tent. In addition to birds and velvet monkey. . The tents are equipped with every comfort and the staff is very kind and very nice. We will certainly return .as soon as we can !

    Amazing place, the tents were very luxurious and spacious, more like a modern apartment. Also very clean. Staff was great and accommodating, we got walkietalkied in the morning to tell us we could see a leopard walking through the campsite which was amazing! The ranger who was there at night told us stories and a lot of information about the park/camp. He also made us feel very confident in the safety of the camp and accomodations. Would and will recommend this to everybody!
