Service was understated but highly efficient. Our guide was outstanding as was the food at every meal. This was my 2nd visit in 6 months and was easily up to par with my first. Hard to image a better venue for a few days getaway!

Everything ! Intimate , lovely big traditional Manor House room , exceptionally friendly caring staff , good food , wonderful private game drives - the animals enjoying the exceptionally remote ,wild and beautiful surroundings as much as we were watching them !

Game drives were popular for the average tourist but could have been more instructive.

Hotel was very comfortable. Meals were good and timing flexible.

What an incredible location - we stayed in the Eco Pods and it was just phenomenal.

The road to get there is almost 30km of gravel

Staff were super friendly and helpful! Rudolph our game ranger was very knowledgeable in terms of the wildlife and nature in the area. He made us feel welcome and sad to leave the place

Only downside is the 27m dirt road to get there, but thats the price you pay for getting "off the beaten track" and exclusivity

Historic farmhouse stay in a beautiful location. Place is immaculate and food and service exemplary. Really lovely to stay somewhere different and obviously treasured.

We loved everything about our 3 night stay. The food was delicious, accommodation so beautiful and comfortable, we thoroughly enjoyed each and every game drive, with great sightings of lion, elephants, giraffe, rhino, zebra, gemsbok and so much more. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. What an absolute treat to stay at Mount Camdeboo.

The settees on the terrace and the dining chairs need some attention, they’re showing too much wear and tear

Spectacular scenery. Great service. Rudolf the game ranger was exceptional, knowledgeable and courteous. Food was good, including a birthday cake Bedroom spacious and comfortable, bathroom as well. Lovely gardens, well placed garden furniture. Perfect to just rest and relax, but….there was so much to see …

be aware that it is quite far off - so there is a lot of travel time everyday

we stayed at one of the PODs and it was just outstanding. the service, the view and the experience is really unique

Stayed in November 2023

We were in one of the Pods. Would have been nice to have a few snacks (Chips, Nuts etc) at the Pod

Great views but most of the time in mist and rain

We stayed in one of the eco pods- loved the isolation, being at one with nature. Spectacular views from the pods. Such a special place for a couple to just reconnect. Thanks to our ranger, Solomon, who was so informative and really made the game viewing special.

Having to leave.

Serene, beautiful location with private pod and hot tub looking out onto valleys and mountains. Attentive, friendly staff. Knowledgable guides. A bucket list experience.

The furniture in the manor and the suites there is a bit outdated and needs some investments. Food was only okay. No Braai was possible even though we asked for it and would have loved to experience that (cool fireplace existing).

Game drives were out of the world. Our guide Tian has been an outstanding tour guide - high knowledge about flora and fauna in the whole area. He did a great job. Also the sundowner in the middle of nowhere with stunning views on the 12.000 ha reserve were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for these unforgettable days. Staff in general super warm and welcoming. 11/10 points. Their super new pods / tiny houses are located at amazing spots on top of a big hill in the reserve.

From the start, Nadia took care of every single detail regarding our stay via WhattsApp. We had a warm welcome by her and Tiaan, our young but polite and knowledgeable guide, followed by a relaxing massage by Nthabiseng. After a light lunch, Tiaan drove us high up into the mountains, where we had the extraordinary experience of staying in one of the pods, with all the luxuries a hotel may offer. The hot tub and campfire on which we've heated our hearty dinner were the perfect setting to wittness a beautiful African sunset. In the morning, after a game drive, while being served breakfast, Nadia and the rest of the staff surprised us with a cake baked for my husband's birthday. This is one of those exceptional experiences one will never forget.

The food definitely could get better, I appreciated the stocked drinks fridges, but they need to improve especially their breakfast and dinner offering.

Stunning property in a lovely location, the most breathtaking views and complete exclusivity at the pods. Very unique type of accommodation, enjoyed the game drives and the very friendly staff.

The best staff!!

nothing we didn’t like.

We stayed in Pod 1. We highly recommend the Pods for a truly unique experience. the lodge is beautiful but spending the night on the mountain is unmatchable. It’s a 40 minute drive from the Lodge to the Pods but it’s spectacular.

Nothing was disappointing. Everything was just perfect.

Everything was beyond expectations!! It is impossible to describe how fantastic our accommodation, Pod 1, is located in the middle of nature. Our personal rangers Chad and Tiaan were super friendly and motivated, and no effort was too much for them. Their enthusiasm for and knowledge of the animals and nature was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the early morning and late afternoon game drives with them! Breakfast in the lodge after the morning drive and lunch and dinner brought up to the pod were superb. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Absolutely recommended, this beautiful location!!

Perfect place for family stay. The kids have been thrilled by rich wildlife and our guide Trish was outstanding. Highly recommended!
