Xanatseni Private Camp

The entire staff was exceptional and instantly made you feel like family. They went out of their way to make sure you had a fantastic adventure. We truly wished we had stayed longer.

Great place to stay in Kruger I'm sure there are more luxurious lodges but this place is more than luxurious enough for 'normal' travellers. Most importantly all the rooms have aircon that works! All the staff were super friendly and service and food was top notch. Dean was a brilliant Ranger, really knowledgeable, and very entertaining and a big thanks to Dani as well for looking after us. We will be recommending Xanatseni to all our friends.

The experience of a lifetime from the moment you drive in the landscape is beautiful. The staff greets you with open arms couldn’t recommend enough. There is never a lack of food a staff member is with you at every meal telling your there experiences and expertise. The drives are amazing the thrill of the hunt to see every and all animals never gets old.

This camp was wonderful. It was not “stuffy”, food was excellent, lodge was excellent, staff were better than excellent. We had great viewing but Ash our Ranger/Guide said he was hindered a little by the recent rains. I loved everything about this camp and want to return.

For our first time visiting South Africa, and our first safari, I am so glad that we stayed at Xanatseni camp. It has truly been an unforgettable experience in all the best ways. Our group of 4 friends stayed in the Tseni suite which was a level of luxury none of us expected: beautiful rooms, private patio & pool, full kitchen stocked with espresso machine, drinks fridge and wine bar. Everything was taken care of for us from the moment we arrived and through our 4 days/3 nights at the camp. Meals were delicious, staff was so friendly, and each day was a perfect balance of adventure and leisure. The safari drives were so much fun, especially with Ash at the wheel navigating the winding roads and pointing out all the animals along the way. We learned a lot about the animals and it's clear that Ash and the other rangers have a lot of care and passion for what they do. With Ash's skills, not only did we get to see 'the big 5', but also honey badgers, warthogs, hyenas, zebras, a bush baby, giraffes, and a family of african wild dogs...and so many more animals and birds. We visited during a drought and despite the rangers surprise at how quiet the area was, we had a wonderful time and got to see animals every drive. I am so thankful to have visited the Greater Kruger Park, and to the staff at Xanatseni for taking such great care of our group.
