Our first Safari trip and hit the jackpot with Letamo at Qwabi game reserve excellent game drives super friendly staff the location and facilities were second to none very impressed and would highly recommend thank you for a wonderful trip of a lifetime .

This was our first vacation in Africa, and it was Outstand. The staff was helpful and friendly. We have recommended Qwabi Reserve to our friends who are planning to visit Africa in the near future.

My wife and I spent a week here during July as part of a Titan Tours holiday from the UK. No doubt the safari connoisseurs will have a critical opinion on reserve size and wildlife. But for us , it was a fabulous holiday. Situated approximately 3.5hrs from Johannesburg airport.( 2 hrs on good roads and 1.5hrs on a bumpy dirt road) . We were in a deluxe room with balcony, which was excellent. Very spacious and kept extremely clean throughout our stay. The staff were always pleasant and keen to please, going out of their way to meet any requests from guests. Our guide was Darian. He was knowledgeable, witty, engaging and most of all, very passionate about his job, conservation and wanting to give you the best safari experience possible. Two 3.5hr game drives per day, restaurant and outdoor dining and a spectacular bush dinner watching the sun set and an abundance of encounters with Elephants, giraffes, lions, hippos, rhinos, jackals, birds and a crocodile. This holiday had everything we could have dreamed of and more. We were there in July, which is the SA winter. Daily temperatures were in low 20s Celsius , with blue skies every day. Overnight temperatures dropped to about 6 Celsius. Some 7 am game drives were a frosty start. When the Sun disappeared behind the mountains after 5pm there is an immediate drop in temperature. It is advisable to bring plenty of layers including a warm coat, gloves, woolly hat and a snood or face covering, as driving around during the colder hours in an open sided landcruiser you experience an added wind chill. We didn’t want to leave, and it has wetted our appetite for another safari and another visit to South Africa. Highly recommended!

Nice 4 star lodge in a small big 5 reserve Very family -child friendly; which is a great advantage if that’s what you are looking for. The lodge could be a lot better, but management seem to be missing small touches; who seem to be non existent! We had issues with our room, where something was tripping the power, which housekeeping were aware of in the morning; assuming issues were resolved, only to call reception after 8.30 at night to say there’s no hot water; only to be told, “oh we are aware of it” and we will move you to another room!! (At almost 9pm with a 2 yr old child!!) Never mind the new room was not turned down, and had a dirty throw on the bed!! The food in general was good, but all served buffet style ; so generally food was warm ,not hot, and often dried out from standing; but food quality in general was good. In general the staff were very friendly and helpful, but management seem to be missing, and overall experience could be so much better with small touches!!

Luxury game lodge. Many more activities besides game drives. The best hotel or resort gym I have ever experienced. Top notch Technogym. Padel court, 2 swimming pools, pool table etc. Very knowledgeable guides. Great food, especially the salads and vegetables were the star of the show. Most food made in-house. Spend some extra money on premium rooms. It is significantly bigger and more luxurious than the deluxe rooms. Great for families and solo adults alike.
