Bojanala Hotels with Balcony

We arrived at 1am, after a terrible experience at another lodge in Hartebeestpoort. We were immediately welcome, even though we hadn't booked. Service was professional, accommodating, and brilliant, from start to finish. The room was clean and ready for us. The venue peaceful, scenic - with plenty of wildlife around. Although there is development ongoing, it was never a bother, nor did it impede on us. The sky bar and restaurant was fantastic, and again the service good. Did not get a chance to try the spa out, as we had limited time. Close enough to Hartebeestpoort, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. We certainly will be back.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon and it was the highlight of our trip. From the moment we arrived the staff could not have been more friendly or accommodating. We arrived late morning and were advised our lodge wasn’t quite ready (as check in wasn’t until after lunch) but that we could sit anywhere we liked, have a drink and then join lunch shortly. At the end of our lunch we were provided our key and we could wander on over to our lodge, where our bags had been taken for us. Our lodge was beautiful. We were lucky enough to be in one of the larger lodges which included a living area, private courtyard with dining, and plunge pool, along with the bedroom, bathroom and outdoor shower. Every morning when we went for our morning drive, after breakfast when we came back to our lodge we were greeted with a cleaned lodge and bed made. And again in the evening after our afternoon drive we came back to the bed remade for the evening, along with a treat and bedtime story on our pillow. These lovely little touches just made our stay even more special! We did a total of 6 drives, all with Helen, who was fantastic! She was so knowledgable, friendly and funny. And also brilliant at being aware of who has seen what animals. Obviously everyone wants to see as many of the Big 5 as we can and she will try and make that happen for you all. On our 5th drive, we still hadn’t seen the buffalo and she was communicating with the other drivers about where they had been to try and find them for us. We eventually found them but it was pitch black and we could only see them very slightly in the bushes. She suggested we got out even earlier the next morning so we could see them as they left that area, which we all agreed and it was perfect! We were so lucky to see two herds of roughly 100 buffalo all travelling across the area we had left them the night before. If we had arrived at the normal time we would have missed them entirely - buffalo do not like to be out in the open so they’re really difficult to spot! It was all down to Helen that we had such a fantastic experience. Food wise, there is more than enough choice for everyone. We actually only went to lunch once because we found we had such a big breakfast, we didn’t need anything else, and we went back to bed after the morning drive. You get snacks and drinks before your afternoon drive too so no one could complain there isn’t enough food! We never went hungry. The food was lovely too and something different each day. On our final evening we enjoyed a braii, with traditional dancing too! It was brilliant experience! I believe this is put on twice a week for guests. Overall we had a wonderful time and I would to go back one day if we are lucky enough to!

There aren’t enough stars to rate Ukutula , from checking in to checking out is faultless, the Staff are incredible and that is all due to the exceptional training they’ve had, Willi who owns Ukutula has standards. The Staff choose who you speak too treat everyone like part of this unique family. No praise can be enough for them. The accommodation at Ukutula are just like the Staff perfect, beautifully decorated individual thatched lodges, with an outside sitting area complete with a fire pit, camp chairs to sit around the fire pit plus a table and chairs on the veranda area. The bedroom’s are beautiful a lovely sitting area with a comfy sofa, a dining table, tv, ours had kitchenette superbly equipped which we didn’t use except the fridge. The restaurant serves beautifully presented meals and breakfast is a magnificent feast. The gardens with 2 pools are gorgeous with so many animal figures representative of the wildlife. We had joined our friends there, it was the final destination on our month long trip it was a reunion and our friend said it would be special, special doesn’t come close for Dreams coming True, we’ve been privileged of visiting several countries in Africa to see wildlife in a natural habitat, to play with Lion Cubs, to be licked by Fiji the Cheetah was something I never thought I’d do, but I have never dreamed that I would hold a 4 week old Lion Cub, that is a memory to cherish forever. Not only does Ukutula make dreams come true, the conservation that they do is a vital to the wildlife world, their laboratory is fascinating and great education on what they are doing to preserve wildlife. Thank You Ukutula for Making More Tan Dreams Come True

If you looking for a place to take ur kids this is the best place to be.the place is big clean and welcoming. Refreshing with beautiful atmosphere. The staff friendly and welcoming. I felt like my stay was short thats how fun it was definitely coming back

We had a dreamy time at Lush. This Lodge is really the hamper and equipped with everything the heart wants. The food was class, the rooms were huge, stylish, clean - just to enjoy! The staff is totally effortful and attentive! The safaris were also unique, we enjoyed the two days so much. On our last evening, a romantic dinner was prepared on our terrace on our wishes - everything without a surcharge and you felt it was prepared for a pleasure. We will never forget the time there and can only warmly recommend Lush. We had nothing to suspend, it was nothing missing - just perfect!! Sorry that the time went so quickly. Thank you again!

This outing was intended to allow my son, who lives in the USA, and I to spend quality time together. B'Sorah was recommended by friends who said it was the most beautiful trail running and hiking venue for them. I have to agree. And the event was hugely successful. From the first engagement, Nicholas was responsive and helpful. The landscape is diverse and beautiful. The trails are immaculately curated and litter-free. Even though it was very hot (34 degrees), there were enough shaded spaces to allow pleasant hiking and trail running. We cooled down at the designated swimming spot in the river on both days. Swempie tent is something special; it is tastefully and comprehensively furnished with a fantastic view, especially at sunset. Although it is fully equipped for self-catering, we ordered dinner from a menu, and the food was home-cooked and delicious. I recommend B'Sorah unconditionally.

La Bastide Jasmine is such a lovely room with scenic views. However, the following was an issue. The hot water tap in the shower was more Luke warm, and the next morning we had no hot water. No tea in the room, only coffee sachets. The room is big enough for a queen size bed, the double bed is a bit small. I won't book this room again, if I know there are people staying right above you. You can hear every part of the conversation, dropping things on the floor and every toilet flush. The bathroom barn door in Jasmine rattles when the people above walk up and down. They did not care that there were people below. Please work on sound proofing Jasmine's roof.
