We had a great time at nkambeni. The rooms were neat and clean. The service was good, yes you need to walk to your room but a little walk will do anyone good. The porters carry all your luggage. The food was excellent and we really enjoyed it a lot. The braai and the carvery evening was excellent. The potjie... More

Booked for three nights and stayed one night (4rd June 2013). Couldn't wait to leave. The tent accommodation is old and grubby - dark brown wooden floors look very old and dirty and I could see what looked like a cigarette butt stuck between the floor boards and the grey patina of ingrained dust up against the skirting in the...

Wher do I start..... the camp is in fact inside the boundaries ( between 2 locked gates before 6am & after 5:30 pm) of the park but still located 10+ minutes away from the entrance to the gate that you must still stop and check in and out of every time you wish to enter or exit the park and...

Recently stayed at Nkambeni Lodge and found the staff friendly and helpful. The rooms were cleaned every day and clean towels provided. The food was ok but as we stayed 4 days we soon realised the chef worked to 2 menus. Best of all were the game drives and the knowledge of the rangers. Our guide Israel took us out... More

We stayed at Nkambeni from the 1st - 3rd of May and although the service was great and our accommodation was adequate, it was not suitable for us. Although our check in was smooth and our tent had everything we needed (except a hair dryer), the tents are far too close together. We could hear our 'neighbors' fighting and kids... More

I booked accomodation at Nkambeni Tented Safari camp for the evening of 4 and 5 May 2013. On our arrival we realised that this camp is definately NOT SITUATED INSIDE THE KNP as advertised, they are false advertising and the poor foreign tourist staying there as guests does not know that they are being deceived.

Dear Attorney911, thank you for the review and comments on our safari camp. With regards to your opinion on the location of the camp, it is within the Kruger National Park boundary and definitely not misrepresenting this fact or trying to catch the poor foreign guest as stated by yourself, this I respect as your opinion, but not factually correct...

The main lodge was a comfortable place to meet and relax with friends. The evening meal and the breakfast were both good and provided a very nice selection. The staff and manager were also very helpful and friendly. In fact, they went out of their way to make sure our needs were met. On a less positive note, the tents... More

We arrived late afternoon to a warm reception. Pleasantly surprised by the entertainment provided at the boma along with great food. After a good night's rest in our tent we enjoyed the buffet breakfast and the hippos in front of the lodge.
