It has taken me ages to settle down and write this review because for a long time after we returned home from this trip, we found it difficult to find the words that would fully encompass just how special this place is and just what a magical time we had there. We were made to feel really welcome from the moment that we arrived. Keegan welcomed us at the gate and it was clear to us from the moment we got into his truck that he was a guide that knew his stuff! His enthusiasm, humility and extraordinary knowledge meant that every drive was a really exciting adventure. We are so grateful to him for the wonderful energy that her brought to our drives; obviously the safari experience is a big part of the trip and we were not disappointed. The lodge is comfortable, welcoming, spotlessly clean and really well equipped. Kyra made us feel at home instantly and it is a wonder we were able to fit in the truck to head home after all the excellent food they provided us with; fresh, home cooked and made with love, we were incredibly well looked after. The team at Nungubane worked incredibly hard to ensure that our stay was perfect. They are friendly, helpful and exceptionally good at what they do. We cannot thank this special team enough for making it such a wonderful holiday. We can't wait to go back!

Room tip: We went in September and had lovely weather but the morning drives could be a bit chilly. Hats and thick socks helped!

This was our first safari and Nungubane was recommended to us by our friends, and it didn’t disappoint.
Our guide Keegan was very knowledgeable and his easy manner helped make our 3 day stay a fabulous adventure. With Kyra running front of house they certainly make a perfect duo. The staff were so attentive and the food was delicious, also their singing was a joy to listen to.

We seen lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, buffalo and so much more.

We would highly recommend this wonderful lodge.

We spent 3 nights at the wonderful Nungubane Game Lodge and the experience was exceptional.

Keegan, Kyra and their team were perfect hosts.and their knowledge charm and enthusiasm helped make this an unforgettable experience.

The game drives were amazing and Keegans knowledge of the reserve and the animals and plant life was encyclopedic. He tracked and found game that gave us some wonderful experiences and memories that will last a lifetime. He asked us what we wanted to see, and then found it for us.

Kyra and the team looked after our every need and the accommodation itself was wonderful. The food, lodges, staff and environment all contributed to a great holiday.

I would recommend Nungubane to anyone looking for a memorable game drive experience with perfect hosts and team
