Having travelled to Zanzibar last year we realised that we were missing a trick by not tacking on a safari to the beginning of a holiday in Africa. However, neither my partner or I are outdoor types and we didn't want to tough it in order to gain the experience. We were after 'safari light' and I would have been... More

We stayed at Nottens Bush Camp in the middle of January 2013. When we arrived, they showed us our awesome room with private terrace, outdoor shower etc. and asked if we are hungry. Of course we were ;-) So we got a very nice, fresh plate with sandwiches and fruit. It was awesome. Over all, our stay was fantastic. Very... More

I had a very good impression right from the start when both my partner and myself were warmly welcome. We stepped into the lodge, dimly lighted as there was no electricity but candles everywhere. (bright enough to manourvre) The food was superb! Excellent ambience! And really personalized room if you are coming here for your honeymoon.. There is also a... More

We came to Notten's Bush Camp for our honeymoon and had a cracking time. The food was absolutely delicious and the hospitality we received from the staff was outstanding. This was a great start to our honeymoon and a truly memorable experience. The game drives were superb and we got to see all the big five up very close in... More

Food and service and staff knowledge were all five star. Can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was, and how everyone there worked hard to make that wonderful happen. I really have no idea how they can produce such outstanding food, meal after meal, especially as the game drives are never over at the same time; too much to... More

I would echo the reviews I have previously read, and can confirm that Dale and his team go out of the way to ensure that you will have a great experience with them. The highlights of our tour were a) our first night drive. After seeing a rabbit on the road, a small owl in a tree, and a chameleon... More

Having been on safari's across Africa previously, this was our first experience in South Africa, and more specifically within the greater Kruger National Park. The Nottens team is fantastic. Dale (one of the owners/managers) was an absolutely fantastic host. Not only did he meet us personaly on arrival, and after every game drive to see how we were doing, but... More

Nottens is an excellent safari destination. Firstly, the safari tours are amazing. The guides (in our case Jeff and Fox) try very hard to make sure you see what you would like to (although that does depend on whether the particular animals are in the area!). We were fortunate enough to see everything we wanted to (including the big five).... More

From the moment Sipol picked us up from the airport, to the sad moment when he took us back 4 days later, we experienced the holiday of a lifetime. The Nottens team are a wonderful group of people, who all go out of their way to make sure you want for nothing. Our children had booked us each a massage... More

Our first safari experience and what a pleasure it was to stay at Notten's. Upon arrival we were greeted personally by Dale, one of the owners. We arrived at 2PM and were immediately shown to our bungalows where everything was in excellent shape. High tea was set up at 3:30 and then it was off on a 4 hour bush... More
