A must visit for anyone, but especially families with young children.Kariba Ranch caters for the whole family. A massive playground with swings, jumping castles, jungle gyms and trampolines will definitely keep the kids interested. There is a tractor ride for R5 that takes kids around the premises to see the animals up close.For those that dont have kids or just want to enjoy a coffee, the main buildings second floor offers a great lounge where you can eat or drink something.
Really can not say anything bad about this place. Free entry, lots to do for the kids and the food is always good. Had my sons birthday party here as well and was great
A nice outing for the family.. plenty of things for the kids to do.
Beautiful area with all of the animals. But they cater more for families with kids. Waiters seem too few. Had to call for service everytime. Waited very long just for cake.
Such a lovely place for all agesSo nice a piece full .Will come back again.
Kids paradise! Great catch up place for friends to meet. Definitely for the indoor and outdoor lovers. Caters for everyone and everything.
A lovely venue particularly if you have young kids & the food was great. The service for lunch was slow because they were so busy (Heritage Day) but an hour and a quarter waiting for our food was a bit much.
Very lovely place with exciting play area for little ones and the food is great
Friendly waiters. Zonnika and friend. Lovely atmosphere. Food super!!
Went fir a childs birthday party. Facilities are excellent. Children and Adults had a great afternoon
What an experience. Awesome place with awesome food.
Great place to spend time with family on a Saturday.
Dylan was our waiter , Great service.... THANKS!
Kariba Ranch is an exciting place to entertain the young kiddies. There are animals to look at and feed, a restaurant and a tractor ride. The play area is suitable for children of about 2 and up (just an estimate). There are inflatable jumping castles and obstacle courses as well as the usual fixed kind of climbing jungle gym. To feed the reindeer one goes to the gift shop area and buys the carrots or pellets, the tractor ride tickets can also be bought at the same time. The ducks on the dam enjoy the pellets. There is a life sized chess board if the parents get bored 🤣. Overall positive experience!
Food was delicious, thank you!
Great in so many ways.
Nice venue for kids parties, brilliant wild live rides and interactions.
Apologies for that 2 star rating was a huge mistake. Kids loved the day and the chocolate cake was tops
Perfect Birthday Party venue for kids. They took care of everything and personalized it as we wanted it. Thank you.
Very tranquil and great space. Ideal for a day break out with kids. The Lamas are adorable!
Unique and awesome for family functions! Just could not keep up with where my grandkids were playing!
Very nice for everyone, kids have a lot of safe play area and birds to look at, wild animals that they can also feed. And parents can sit and enjoy their drinks while kids play. My nephew had his 1st birthday party there this passed weekend. Nice place and the stuff very friendly.
Great place to take your kids. There are bucks, a donkey, zebras, warthogs, ducks, pot belly pigs, chickens and peackocks. They have a fun tracker ride that takes you through the area where the animals are. You can buy carrots and pellets to feed the animals. Has great play facilities, with many jungle gyms and trampolines and lots of open space. It is definitely my favourite place to go with kids. Food is delicious too
Very nice. So welcoming as well... The owner even sat and chatted with us for a while. There is a lot to keep the kiddies busy! Definitely recommend this place!
This place has always brought happiness and great experiences with families whether it would be functions, meals or just drinks! I always look back to this place with fond memories, Id suggest that youd definitely give it a try!
Service on drinks was far to slow. Good food though.
Great place to visit, fabilous menu, and enough to keep the kids busy
Excellent place for a day out with the kids or grandkids... Super breakfast and excellent service
Had an art class with Susan. Food, coffee and service excellent

Service very disappointing. For that, one star.Food was well prepared and very nice. 5 stars for this.
Very nice place, open spaces, luscious grass, lot of jungle gyms for kids, very nice affordable food. The only downside, is that there arent a lot of different animals, basicly ducks, birds and bokkies.

Tons of space lots for kids to do, animals happy, milkshakes was great. A real nice experience
I dont have too much to say about this venue.Weve only been here once, but first impressions last and all of that.Over priced and not so friendly staff that was not well trained in customer relations and service.Only thing counting in their favor is that we havent been there in a while, so things might be different now... who knows.
Delicious food. Great entertainment for kids
Nice place to visit. Lots of animals. Not a lot to do for kids
Enjoyable. Hospitality excellent.
Very pleasant experience. The animals and relaxing atmosphere, friendly and helpful waiter all contributed to a wonderful time at Kariba ranch.
It is a nice coffee shop with a nice park feeling. Unfortunately the menu has not changed in the past ten years - really disappointing.
Its ok. Service can improve
Excellent waiter
What could have been an excellent experience was dampened by the fact that smoking is allowed where small children is supposed to play.
Enjoy the place. My son works there
Lovely environment - food not so great unfortunately
So peaceful! Loved spending time there...
