We had a lovely full serviced camp including gamedrives and meals. It was wonderfull! The only critical thing we can think of is the route to the game drives in the Morning. Of took 3/4 of an hour to get to a game reserve where the Big 5 lives. In the winter of can be very cold and windy, with no roof or Windows in the game car.

We hebben met ons gezin (meisje 17, jongens 15 en 14) twee geweldige dagen in Rukiya gehad. Een warm welkom ( in het Nederlands) door Femke. De Lodge ligt op een prachtige plek aan de rivier. De tenten zijn prachtig en de bedden sliepen heerlijk. S’ morgens werden wij vriendelijk gewekt door de ranger voor de morning drive. Omdat je naar een naastgelegen park moet rijden ga je een stuk met de open safariauto over de openbare weg. Dat is best spannend maar ook een leuk avontuur. Wij waren in augustus dus het was dan behoorlijk fris met de wind langs je heen. De lunch en het avondeten zijn een vast menu/ gerecht maar als je wensen hebt kon je deze doorgeven. Het was heerlijk eten en het ontbijt tijdens de game drive blijft heel bijzonder. In de natuur eten en genieten van het uitzicht. Helaas hadden wij niet veel gelukt met het spotten van dieren tijdens de middag drives in het park. Wij hadden het idee dat er minder dieren zijn in dit park dan een ander park. Maar wellicht hadden wij gewoon pech op onze drives. Aan de rangers ligt het niet want die vertellen enthousiast over de natuur en de dieren.

A group of us celebrated my 50th at Rukiya Camp, the staff was amazing and went out of their way to make everything very special and cater to our every desire. The place is beautiful and serene. Highly recommended

From start to finish, it was an amazing experience. The location is stunning, the food was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rangers were fantastic, from the morning game drives with breakfast, to the sunset drives with drinks, and the dinners in the evening. everything was perfectly organised. They gave us a truly complete and unforgettable experience.

I was so excited to sleep in a tent! And our bed had a hot water bottle in it every night. OMG! Kevin was a delightful host and the food was delicious We were up every morning at 0500 and saw many animals. Marvin was the best driver/tracker. I really appriciated his insight into his ethnic beliefs

Rukiya is everything you could want in a Safari Camp, COMFY BEDS!, brilliant food, great seevice and spectacular guides. The sound of hippos while you go to sleep in your safari tent. The atmosphere at camp was very calm and quiet. With Nyala sometimes grazing in the grass infront of the pool. It really was heaven. We will definitely be back!
