We had the pleasure of staying in the executive suite, and it was a delightful experience. We were particularly impressed by its privacy and seclusion, and the private pool added an extra layer of luxury to our stay. The room itself was spacious and exuded opulence. The staff members who took care of us were exceptionally warm and kind, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of fabulous. We received an exceptional level of warmth and kindness from the staff, surpassing any luxury resort experience we've had in Europe. Oupa, our breakfast and lunch server, became our favorite, and we absolutely adored him. Our culinary experiences were a true delight, spanning breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our personal favorite was the dinner at the Boma. The menus included excellent vegan and vegetarian options. Our time here allowed us to create wonderful memories, and we are eager to return in the future. During our stay, we were fortunate enough to spot nearly all of the Big 5. Despite the modern facilities, the surroundings offered a genuine African bush life experience, leaving us feeling pampered and relaxed. Without a doubt, this experience was worth every penny.

Our accommodation, the whole setup, was huge, way bigger than expected. Huge comfy bed with mosquito netting, evening gowns, fantastic outside shower and relaxing bath with bath salt. Wish we could have stayed longer! Food galore, we honestly couldn't eat more during day two, we really enjoyed all the options during breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our gamedrives were unbelievable and at some stage we were joking that we see leopards more often than impala! Helen, our guide, was really informative, even learned our language on the way and cracking a few jokes, all made for good conversation!

This place took my breath away, the rooms are huge, and there is a lot of space to sit and chat. The braai area is well thought out, and there is a massive kitchen to prepare food for many people. But the absolute best part of these villas, is the view. You get to sit at the pool looking over the bushveld, with all kinds of animals coming to a watering hole. We saw Impala and an elephant in the evening. Game drives are provided into the reserve or you can get a permit at reception for your own vehicle if you can brave the roads. The park has a lot of wildlife, there are plenty of animals to see.

Everything’s gorgeous, amazing, wonderful… it was such an amazing experience to stay in lodge. I am very upset to stay a 1 night. All the members were friendly. They made us feel like we stay at home. All the meals are exceptionally delicious. It was well selected menus and we enjoyed experience it a lot. Safari experience was something else. Our ranger is knowledgeable and experienced. Would definitely recommend stay in lush lodge.

Everything was perfect!! Probably the best hotel experience we ever had! Perfect welcoming, extremely friendly staff (without being too much), beautiful outside areas with amazing atmosphere created with oil lamps and candles, great experience on the fire pit over a drink and a great chat upon arrival from game drive, spotless pool area. Loved the “mi casa, tu casa” concept where we could help ourselves to the open bar. The sleeping room was beautiful and spotless clean. The food was amazing and the chefs really friendly, the high teas phenomenal…… we could go on and on and on about Tambuti. Go do yourselves a favour a book this lodge!

Pilansberg is a 3 hour from Johannesburg.

Pilansberg is a 3 hour from Johannesburg. It is easily accessible however the roads to the Pilansberg are not in great shape. It would be best to take a shuttle than to drive yourself. The park is fantastic with all the animals. We saw many lion, a leopard, many elephants, many rhino and lots more. I highly recommend.

Pilansberg Game reserve is falling apart, literally.

Pilansberg Game reserve is falling apart, literally. This will be our last trip and we have been going for 15+jears. The road to the reserve is horrific but worse is the roads in the reserve itself. The "tarred" sections or what's left of it is one pothole after another, not pleasant to drive at all, even at the 40km speed limit in the reserve. Hides are becoming dangerous, falling apart and the toilet facilities at these hides are TERRIBLE! It is sad to see the facilities in the reserve keep declining.

Pilanesberg has never let us down.

Pilanesberg has never let us down. Even in heavy rain there is always something if you look hard enough and seeing the park in all weathers and different seasons, with the mountains, green spaces, trees, and dams is such a treat. Love every visit! Fish Eagle lookout is spectacular and the salt lick by the visitor centre usually brings in some animals and/or birds toward the start and end of the day - plus the coffee is good.

The wildlife in the Pilanesberg is varied and every game drive we went on was well rewarded with good viewing on the plains. Black rhino reserve is quite different and probably better viewing in winter when less undergrowth.

I was here six years ago. There are much less animals. Looks like they removed hundreds animals to private game drives. It is not Pilinesberg that I saw six years ago. If you don’t want to be upset, choose Kruger.

Fantastic location for easy access to the Pilansberg with fabulous guides. We had Dolfie, and he was awesome. He ensured we saw the big 5 plus many others over 2 days, including a honey badger. He was also very knowledgeable about the birds and the small critters. Bed was super comfortable and the staff all went out.of their way to ensure our stay was as comfy as possible. Evening diner.in the boma was a fantastic end to a busy but amazing game drive.

Everything was absolutely stunning, truly one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. We loved the small size of the resort and incredible attention to detail, as well as the amazing customer service from every staff member. The guest rooms were beautifully designed and well equipped. The food was varied and delicious at every meal. The game drives were excellent.

Very friendly staff, very welcoming. The hotel is about 10 minutes away from the national park. We forgot our headphones in the room and were immediately informed by the staff, so we still had time to pick up our things before we left for our final journey home. thank you!
