Bush Walk 06 without breakfast in the Lodge is completely wrong !! Maybe to Little wild animals. The rangers do their best, prima rangers

I want to give Nyati Safari 5 stjerner, men efter I har skiftet til Qatar Airways er rejsetiden blevet alt for lang.

Well organised from beginning to end.

Well organised from beginning to end.
Comfortable, well positioned accommodation, great food and brilliant guides and rangers. We saw the big 5 within 48 hours of arriving and came within meters of all of them. The wildlife is so much closer than we saw at Kruger and with very few other vehicles about. The drives always are done with respect for the wildlife.
The dinner and breakfast out in the bush at viewpoints were spectacular.
Most of the staff have been there for several years.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

We’re truly delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience – from the well-organised journey and welcoming lodge, to the incredible wildlife encounters and our dedicated guides and rangers. Seeing the Big Five within 48 hours is quite special, and we’re so glad you appreciated the calm, respectful approach to game drives.

It’s also lovely to hear your kind words about the bush dinners and breakfasts – and yes, many of our team members have been with us for years, which adds a special familiarity and warmth to the experience.

We hope to welcome you back to the bush again one day!

Warm regards,
Henrik Hauge

Just very good in all ways.

Vey well located, very nicely renovated, very well managed. Family owned, qualified staff on all levels. Excelent catering, well stocked bar. Clean and neat. Nice Safari and transport vehicles. All works smooth and staff friendly and seem to be happy with their jobs.
Good wildlife on own (large) grounds.
Highly recommanded. I travelled on safaries 35 times now in East and Southern Africa.
Nyati is GOOD.

Nice experience and lovely people

Nice experience and lovely people. With did not see so many animals as we are used to other places and the impalas and other animals were more afraid than what we are used to. Because of airplane problems we had to stay one more night in the area and stayed at an other game lodge. More animals compared to Nyati and the impalas were not so afraid and stayed even while the vehicle stopped.
More than 80% of the guests were Danes - nothing wrong about them, but we would have preferred a broader mix of people and nations.

Perfect

Our family of 7 (3 generations) visited Nyati in January 2020. A perfect stay. Everything just worked well. The house, the food, the safari-driving, the rangers, all the staff. Only disappointment was that both the rhino and the leopard was hiding, but the elephants, the lions, the buffaloes and many other animals were very active. We took many great pictures.
