"We enjoyed the experience of sleeping so close to the animals. Game drives were exciting and very informative. We thoroughly enjoyed having Chu-Chu as our ranger on 2 of the drives. Thank you to all the amazing staff at Bakubang for making this such a delightful experience. We will be back! "

"The luxury rooms are amazing. Staff were helpful and nice"

"The location of Buffelsdrift is beautiful which made the safari experience even more wonderful. Staff were warm, welcoming and the tent was gorgeous. A truly magical stay. "

"We loved our stay! The service was incredible."

"Wonderful Experience !"

"Wonderful experience here. We saw 10 different wild animals species. Great service, great staff. Luan, our game guide was terrific !! "

"Always go for the deluxe rooms there are resident Waterbucks there and Hippos and crocodiles in the river and Elephants cross the river at night to feed in front of the rooms , the hotel sits just outside the Malelane gate an area famous for Leopards along the Crocodile river area the hotel has very good food and friendly staff "

"Rooms don't have privacy, noisy, old bathrooms, TV no remote control. Towels are due for replacements. "

"It was the worst experience the establishment was fully booked and we had to sleep on the road yet money was paid.They said this site is a scam it fraudulently takes your money "

"The resort is lovely, the staff provided excellent service so would recommend. Unfortunately we had a bad experience with one of the tours we booked, the places visited were great but the transport provided (given advertised as a luxury tour) was unacceptable, a rickety dirty taxi! The owner needs to take better ownership of this, we (group of 10) didn’t get a very good result when speaking to him of this. "

"We enjoyed our stay but they got our booking wrong and there was a double bed instead of 2 x singles, they then moved us to another room advising that it had 2 x single beds only for this room to also have a double bed. Overall, a pleasant and peaceful location but front desk receptionist needs some training on what the different rooms contain. "

"Good lodge with quality restaurant. Suits doing safaris and day trips. "

"Special clean place with ability to view wildlife . Great hard working staff. "

"Stunning bedroom views from this lodge and exceptional service and kind attitude from Shannon ! Food was also great. It’s an older lodge that has been upgraded with excellent bathroom fixtures and main bedroom lighting. Wifi is a little slow, early morning hot water taps need to run a bit before hot water arrives and the sliding partition in our room 2 needs to be replaced with a frosted glass door as the current wooden sliding partition is a little stiff to open . Otherwise an excellent choice...

"Great 4 night stay! Excellent breakfast and dinner! Excellent staff! Comfortable beds. Rooms are a little old and outdated. No bar fridges in rooms. But it doest take away from the beauty of the place or experience."

"Lovely place but fire has damaged the restaurant "

"Great service from staff "

"Basic safari hotel. Institutional catering. Unfortunately, the Safari vehicles were worn out and very uncomfortable. They had not replaced the shock absorber which made the drive very uncomfortable. Convenient to Cape Town, but clearly not the right bush for giraffes which had their heads permanently bowed due to lack of any trees."

"Our stay at Ivory Tree was fantastic! From being greeted by their warm staff to our guide Sephio (I hope I did not make a mistake on spelling). Everyone made an effort to make our stay memorable. We cannot wait to make another trip to Ivory Tree! "

"Contact with the property prior to our arrival was easy and quick. And from the moment we arrived to warm towels and wonderful welcome drinks on the patio, everything was lovely, every detail considered, and every staff member was amazing. The food was some of the best I've ever had. Rebecca, the chef, created the dishes that were magical. TRY the soup - every meal! We felt welcomed everywhere we went. There were snacks and drinks before game drives - excellent. There were chocolates on our...
