What an absolute treat of an experience. My friends and I booked for our birthday especially celebrating a 50th and my friends first trip to Africa. From the time we arrived till we departed we were pampered, taken care of, every need and expectation exceeded. Marsha is a world class hostess and the chef team will leave you so full and satisfied with their amazing culinary skills. Our game drives were top notch too seeing leopards, cheetah, rhino's, elephants, giraffe and lion plus many more. Thank thank thank you to the entire team for making this such a special and memorable experience.

Absolutely loved our stay at Tambuti Lodge!! Staff are so warm and friendly- attentive to all guests. Food was delicious and our guide was very knowledgeable. He ensured we had a good time on each safari, was very kind and hard working. Thank you so much! Highly recommended to all family and friends. Hope to come again soon!

Every moment of this wonderful experience was just amazing cannot recommend enough. From the lodge to the staff and food am unable to fault anything at all. A small lodge with a minimum amount of rooms named after animals, Lion, Zebra etc. Afternoon tea before the evening drive was amazing and towels to refresh you upon your return. Every detail was thought of.

My husband and I have travelled extensively and we have never experienced such perfection as we did at Tambuti Lodge. Absolutely every single detail was considered to create the vacation of a lifetime! We are exploding with joy, with delicious food, with the awe of seeing the Big 5 - just all of it!!! We couldn't recommend this paradise more. Forever in love with Tambuti and the magic of Africa ✨☀️

This has to be the best trip I have ever done. I can’t rate Tambuti highly enough. The rooms are beautiful. The food was amazing, the safari drives were fantastic, the staff were so kind and considerate, especially Malcolm (our host) and Martin (our guide), but I must mention chefs Edith and Henry who’s skills in the kitchen where fantastic. If you get the chance to go to Tambuti, you won’t regret it. I would have loved to stay longer. A******* an amazing place with amazing people

I can’t say enough about this game lodge. It is large enough to have everything you want and yet with only 10 guests (5 rooms) you get a very personal and private experience. The staff thought of everything you might need from personal touches in your room, to an open bar and free laundry service! The food was stunning in its presentation and as good as any 5 star restaurant I’ve been to. My room was spotless with a huge shower with lots of hot water. The turndown service was very nice and I looked forward to the tasty piece of fudge awaiting my return to my room. Nolu made me feel at home right away, greeted us with warm towels after each safari, was great at starting our campfire - both the fire and the conversation. Both the morning and evening drives were top quality with a hot water bottle and blankets if it was chilly - and a bar half way through the evening drive to celebrate being out in nature. Martin was so knowledgeable as a guide, patient with our endless questions and really in tune with the animals. If you want a nice few days at a game lodge close to Johannesburg I highly recommend it. In fact I recommend a trip to South Africa just to visit this team at Tambuti!

Tambuti Lodge was a really special experience. The lodge itself is absolutely beautiful and is such a nice size. It feels like a home in the bush, the food is delicious, each member of staff was delightful and its excellent value for money. I can’t recommend it enough, just don’t make our mistake and only stay for two nights - three nights minimum!

We had the most incredible stay at Tambuti Lodge. We only stayed for 2 nights but will definitely be back and will stay for much longer next time! Martin managed to spot nearly all the animals we wanted to see, and was incredibly informative and friendly. The hospitality and food was incredible - really felt like we got everything we could have asked for! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safari stay and I can’t thank the team enough for the best trip!
