What an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by a friendly and helpful staff. The game drives could not have been better: extremely knowledgable and experienced, the ranger that took us around was awesome and did everything in his power to make our experience unforgettable. The animals, the food, and the staff made our trip very special. Highly recommend.

Awesome people ,the friendliest crew I have had the pleasure of meeting they really go the extra mile to make it an amazing experience for the whole family, the guides were very knowledgeable and interacted with the kids teaching them all sorts of interesting facts about the animals which you see plenty of. Facilities are top notch, food is excellent, my only complaint is that the our time there had to come to an end.

We had the most amazing time at Ndaka. The luxury tents exceeded our expectations and the staff at the lodge is always helpful and friendly. They really do go the extra mile to make the experience memorable. Our game driver, David, was super knowledgeable and his driving skills is excellent. We will most definitely visit this lodge again

The most incredible staff I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and I cannot begin to explain how amazing the food was. NDAKA is the place to be!!

One of the best weekends our little party of four have had, cant say enough about the moment we entered the gate and left after a wonderful weekend would have to write a book about all the good things about the weekend. Mark and his staff are top notch and cant say enough about our guide who treated us so well and was very knowledgeable about all things. One of bucketed list done but am thinking very seriously of taking our whole family for a weekend at Ndaka very soon.

Epic experience for the whole Family. Most friendly staff I have ever seen. Super Kid friendly. I will definitely go again.

Wonderful accommodation, friendly staff, excellent guide, delicious meals!

Best value for money! Their staff are amazing, highly recommend that you book at Ndaka!

Even if all I did there was eat, I would have had a 5 star stay 😂 every meal was pure deliciousness! On another note... In my all my traveling years - and even paid travel reviews where the staff were expected to be nice to me - never have I ever met such attentive staff! This 5 star rating is dedicated to them! ❤️

Hands down the best luxury value for money safari in South Africa. Everything about Ndaka was amazing.The tented rooms are very luxurious and comfortable. Really liked how they are each named after an animal and then all the art work in the room is of that animal.The food was incredible, right up there with some of the top restaurants I have been to. My wife has gluten allergies and we normally just get by with whatever is on offer, but when the Ndaka team found out they went out of their way to accommodate her. Gluten free pancakes for breakfast, gluten free bread for lunch, and gluten free waffles for desert, plus a while lot more, all freshly made by their resident chef.We got to see all of the big 5, except leopard, on the game rides. Pretty much all of the time the animals where so close, including the lion, that we could nearly reach out and touch them. Our guide was very professional and informative. One of the other guests on the rides with us had a toddler with them and the guide was very attentive with her. Making sure she could see all the animals and explaining interesting facts to her. Even let her sit on his lap and drive the 4X4 for bit.We been on a number of safari throughout South Africa, at some of the top lodges costing 4 times the price of Ndaka, yet Ndaka service and quality is right up there with some of the best. You will not find better value money than Ndaka.

From the moment we arrived on the property until we left, our every need was attended to. The staff at this lodge embody hospitality at its finest. Our guide was a knowledgeable expert. He shared lots of useful information about the wildlife behavior and genuinely seemed to care about the animals. The schedule is great and optimizes chances of seeing the different kinds of wildlife.The food was excellent and the portions were generous. The luxury accommodations far exceeded our expectations. Everything worked and the house keeping staff were phenomenal. There’s also a very nice pool. Don’t miss the opportunity to get out and look at the stars when it’s dark. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would happily return. Highly recommended for any age. We wish we could have spent more time here.

Perfect! Best value for money in the park. Incredible guides. Beautiful park. Big 5 can be sighted within a 3 day stay with some luck.

Great trip. Great Safari. The team was very accommodating.On Safari with Nico, who was the perfect guide for us and our 2 children (10 & 6). His enthusiasm for the wildlife, extensive knowledge and patience with our sons non stop questions made the trip very special.In the lodge with Sax & co., we were made very comfortable and felt like the lodge was an extension of our home.Highly recommended for families as a safe, engaging and well run lodge.

Such an amazing place, with very friendly and helpful staff and tasty food! The game drives were always a great experience and the guides/game rangers were very knowledgable and just fun to be around.

We have been to several lodges in Nambiti and can honestly say that Ndaka is a very special place. The tents are absolutely beautifully decorated and comfortable. The views from the restaurant and swimming pool area are absolutely stunning. Great service and lovely staff. The lodge is fenced so it is safe to walk around during the day.

Excellent safari experience with the kids. Good food and catered for complex dietary requirements. We were greeted warmly by name by every staff member. Waldo and Leoné looked after us and our bubbly kids, while Nolen and the front of house team umpresse us with their hospitality. I must point out their COVID procedures were see kesselst integrated and executed really well.

It was mine & my partners first experience in a game park. Ndaka certainly performed.... our guide was very knowledgeable & answered all questions confidently with no questions unanswered. We saw lots of animals & had a great experience with the elephants at a small watering hole. The rooms were outstanding!! All themed which gave it a lovely touch, clean & well maintained. Lovely outdoor shower & great views from the room, the staff couldnt do enough to help & the food was great.

You dont get better than this!

We had the most wonderful experience at Ndaka. The staff were marvellous and the animals were even better. Amy our guide had a sixth sense and was able to track them all. We will definitely be back!!

Now, Im not normally one to get excited. However Ndaka made me giddy like a child. My wife had asked me to book it and I just did as I was told.. Make sure you book a tented room now Im glad I did. When booking on the Ndaka website I was blown away by the vale for money. I always thought a Safari would bust my credit card limit. How wrong I was. We arrived and were shown where to park and wait for a guide. After a couple of mins a truck pulled up and we were met by Amy our guide for our trip. Amy made the visit for both of us. Not only was she incredibly engaging and knowledgeable she made the whole experience an adventure. Searching and using all of her local know how. Particular taking us to one end of the reserve when all the other lodge drivers had gone to the other. The other lodges had not seen much we we had been playing safari bingo and had seen just about every thing. Returning form our 1st drive we were met with warm towels and drinks and dinner waiting for us. We were nearly the only guests on one of our days and the staff were attentive yet knew when to give you space. This continued when other guests arrived. The tents, well what ever I write wont do them justice. But they were beautiful, and the out door shower is fabulous. I would like to add that we had 2 nights and I wish I had booked 2 more. We were sad to leave and both had a fantastic time. Book longer than you think you want you wont regret it!

What a find. Luxurious safari tents in a small intimate setting - lovely accommodation, great food, guides with encyclopaedic knowledge (thanks Courtney!) and resort staff that really look after you. Two drives a day ensure you get to see the beautiful landscape and of course - the big 5! Dont hesitate to book - its a real treat!

In short - beautiful place, amazing stay, and Im already planning a return!! We were sad to leave this stunning place.I worked with Ndaka to plan a bachelorette party in this beautiful game reserve, and couldnt be happier with our experience! I did email them for more information during this process, and found that they have a guest information form that you fill out indicating how the beds are set up, the people assigned to each space, etc. I didnt get this right after I reserved/put the deposit down, so if you dont either, emailing them is very easy, they are happy to send it to you via email.We were paired with Courtney as our guide during our stay. He is a fantastic game driver, with very impressive knowledge of all the animals we encountered. He was willing to answer questions about animals, landscape, history, and stop to see all kinds of animals enjoying their habitats. Hes also a very good imitator of animal noises, so if youre paired with him while there, youre in for a treat! There is a lot of different terrain in the reserve, so you will be driving over more flat terrain some drives, and up/down hills and rocks others.Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Game drive drinks/snacks are all provided in your stay - and all are very delicious. Drinks during dinner or during downtime are additional, we found the prices very reasonable. The staff here is incredibly friendly and goes above and beyond to make everyone comfortable had ensure they all has a good time. We brought in our own alcohol for the bachelorette, and they were able to chill it for us and get us ice/bottle opener, charging a reasonable corkage fee.Our rooms were wonderful, beautiful views of the reserve and very clean. There were no fridges in the rooms, although there is a coffee/tea maker and some rusks. The reserve has a fence around it, so you are able to walk to your tent after dark without worrying about encountering wildlife, other than frogs and larger insects. Ndaka is also eco-conscious, and has a water filtration system on-site, so you dont need to bring in additional water, just a refillable bottle!As a big bonus (for any gin drinker), they have a Nambiti Gin that was newer to the lodge when we stayed, they were trialing it to gauge if they should regularly stock and sell it. Even if you dont bring a bottle home, you cant beat drinking a Nambiti Sunset Gin during your afternoon drive in this beautiful place.

Ndaka has a very special place in my heart and as long as my husband and I can afford to go we’ll keep going there - the whole bush experience at an affordable price for South Africans - Kevin and I salute you Mark, Tracy and your team! Your recent improvements are amazing!

Excellent comfortable accommodation, fantastic chef, and a friendly knowledgeable guide on the game drives. We loved our stay here. Highly recommended!
