    Very great tented Safari camp and fantastic Game Drives

    No warm water to shower, the pool was cleaned during all 3 days we stayed, and the communication was poor in terms of processes (time of dinner / lunch / breakfast and game drives), especially as the schedule switched during our stay from summer to winter. Also security instructions in terms of how to get to the tent after sunset was not well explained / other guests helped us. Furthermore, we asked for a bush walk directly when checking in, and it could not be offered to us during the whole stay - very sad.

    Very great tented Safari camp and fantastic Game Drives. Within 2 nights, we had 4 Game Drives and could see not only Zebras, Elephants, Giraffes, but also Leopard, Rhino, Cheetah - thanks to our great driver Devance. Food was also very nice and as the accommodation was without fence, we saw elephants drinking next to the pool and eating next to our tent.

    The Khoka Moya camp tends to focus on larger, organised groups and we felt slightly out of place at times. Don't let this put you off but I hope management address this. They do have a second site nearby with more private guests.

    The local staff were engaging and charming. Our safari guide Dan was the best! He made our stay fun and so memorable. We also got to see all the animals we wanted to. We even had elephants wandering through the camp to drink at the waterhole at the centre of the camp.

    It is mentioned on the page, but drinks are not included in the all inclusive (not even soft drinks). We felt that, considering the price paid, all soft drinks should be available. This is the only minor point for the whole stay, that was incredible.

    Best trip of our lives. The camp is located within the Manyeleti reserve (it’s not easy to find on the gps, but is very well indicated as from the moment you arrive at the gate). We saw animals as from the moment we passed the gate : zebras on the road, elephants roaming around the swimming pool (they were there every day of our stay!). We were afraid of not seeing many animals because we came in the rain season (January) but we saw the Big 5 in 3 game drives! Devance was an excellent guide and we learned a lot about the area thanks to his broad knowledge. The food was excellent, and they even organised a special braai for New Year’s Eve.

    We were almost charged double with the entrance fee, that was not so nice. It was corrected immediately… but it wasn’t so nice. We also did not have warm water, even though we were told there should be.

    The most amazing thing was to see the Elephants at the water whole and the pool just in front of the accommodation. The warmed bed (with this electrically warmed blanket) was so great.

    My only quibble is that even though there were a few empty dining tables, we were all grouped together for "team building," even though people at our table spoke three different languages - IMO, this was completely unnecessary. This had nothing to do with the staff but, as I understood, the decision was imposed from above.

    Everything was great, and our guide, Keke, was very knowledgeable. The staff was friendly, and the food was nice.

    The water didn't stop dripping after we put the valve off. There was no hot water the first night and we never had WiFi in our room for the entire trip. The issue was we had no way to communicate to the reception after dark other the loud blow horn.

    Loved that we were in the middle of the bush and loved the sound of nature and most importantly the wild animals right next to the tent.

    My stay was too short! It would be nice to have local and international rates when pricing. After all locals are not converting from any currency but using the Rand. Besides that this was money well spent.

    Totally loved the feeling of home. This place truly embodies the spirit of Ubuntu. All staff are very attentive to guests. Loved our game ranger KK. What an amazing, reassuring and capable gentleman!

    Nothing for us.

    We loved everything about our stay. Staff were all great in the camp and our guide was very knowledgeable and found us some wonderful animals on our game drives. The meals prepared by the chef and his team was delicious and plenty of it. Between game drives it was lovely to relax at the tent or at the swimming pool. Elephants came down to drink at the waterhole in the camp as well as the pool which was a spectacular sight to see.

    We loved staying at Honeyguide, the location is convenient, the tents are facing the nature and are very wide and clean. Our guide went over the top to show us all the animals we wanted to see. Jan was just great, very helpful and friendly. the food was good too.
