    Loved this place so much! The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s stunning inside, with beautiful decor and a fantastic downstairs living area and perfect outdoor spaces. Beds so comfortable and bathrooms big, beautiful and clean. Having animals (warthog, zebra, kudu, impala, giraffe and more) pay daily visits made this feel very special. Eating out nearby was easy, but the food is generally pub grub. That suited us fine. I’d love to come back!

    Nonl issues at all.

    The place was amazing. Clean, spacious, and value for money. Shaylin was great and made sure we had everything sorted with extra tips on where the game might be during the day. We were greeted by zebras upon our arrival which the kids loved not forgetting the other animals we enjoyed watching come over for water at the watering hole. Overall great experience.

    This is our 2nd stay here. The accommodation is fabulous, so roomy, tastefully decorated and comfortable. The best thing ever is the amount of animals that visit. We had warthog, wilder beast, bushbucks, kudu, zebras and monkeys this time 😲🥰

    I found it disturbing, that Honey Badgers Safaris (company which hosts represent) apparently do not provide 100% guarantee to see a honey badger :DDDD instead we just got lucky to see the big 5, many other common and rare animals. And the picture is real, taken by myself. Would you expect that?

    The house has it's own charm. Is very cozy, well equipped, in very particular area. Hosts are exceptional. Ideal communication and help. The hosts did all bookings for safaris and suggested what to do, that was a rock off my shoulders. For Kruger national park if you get lucky to have Jonathan as your guide, you might see even a leopard, not to mention all the other animals and the good vibe. Book it with confidence. Really nice place and hosts

    Just wow, what a beautiful house! We loved all the animals around the house and in Marloth park. Shaylin was a wonderful host and the safari with Jonathan was such a great day. Also the cleaning was very good and the cleaning lady so attentive. Our family made some good memories during our stay in Marloth!

    Nothing! If i had to say anything it was that two bedroom were only accessible through outdoor. But that was nothing mayor and only added to the experience.

    We loved everything about this house! The house is absolutely amazing and even exceeded our expectation. There were so many animals we saw around the house and there was just so much to see. On our last day we were able to lure out the bush baby's and that was an amazing experience aswell. Candace and Jonathan were great and we loved our safari with Jonathan. If we come back we will book here again!

    Everything! We were welcomed so nicely by Candace, although we were really late due to an accident and couldn't get in touch due to a lack of internet connection. The safari with Jonathan was also a 10/10. It was amazing what he knows about the animals and the Kruger Park. It wasn't my first safari there, but definitely the best. We were looked after really well until we left, Candace was always available via WhatsApp, gave us great tips and we simply felt completely at ease! Thank you for everything!

    **Exceptional Stay ** I recently had the pleasure of staying in Honey Badger Safari House and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. The house I stayed in was not only charming and beautifully decorated but also provided a level of comfort that exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with impeccable service and hospitality. The attention to detail from Candance was remarkable, and they went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was enjoyable. Whether it was arranging activities or providing recommendations for dining options, they were always attentive and accommodating. One of the highlights of my stay was the spectacular safari experience. The guided safaris offered by Jonathan were truly exceptional, allowing us to get up close and personal with the incredible wildlife that inhabits the Kruger. From majestic lions to graceful giraffes, each safari excursion was filled with breathtaking moments that will stay with me forever. Furthermore, the location of the house within Marloth Park was perfect. Surrounded by nature it provided a serene and peaceful setting to unwind and reconnect with the beauty of the African wilderness. In conclusion, my stay in Honey Badger Safari House was nothing short of extraordinary. From the charming house to the impeccable service and unforgettable safari experiences, every aspect exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend a visit to anyone looking for a truly immersive and memorable African getaway.
