Breakfast was great. We had the eggs/omelete and toast option. If I remember right, there are three breakfast options in all. In addition to this, there was fruit and cereal available. The location of the lodge is great. About 10 minutes from the main road and about 15 from Safari Mall. The lodge has a bar and restaurant as well. And good WiFi in most rooms.

Probably a TV in the rooms. But then, why go to the bush to watch TV?!

The owner, Fred became a real friend and nothing was too much effort to please us. Our chef went out of his way to make every meal an experience.

The weather did not play fair. Very unusual rain storms everyday and lots of rain for this time of year. It made self drive game viewing less pleasurable in Dinokeng Reserve, but nothing that you can not cope with. Once more Tamboti staff came to our rescue. We enjoyed a well planned and very informative 3 hour game drive that was worth it.

Very friendly staff. The cutest of cats greeted us on day one. Breakfast was very nice and filling. Very relaxing area. Close to a self drive road.

Wifi is a bit of an issue at the Kuda room. The best connection was closest to the restaurant. Although the food is good, dinner was expensive, but due to a lack of restaurants in the area, you tend to eat there.

Great and friendly staff, breakfast was delicious.

Recommendation: might be a good idea to place a small mini fridge in the rooms. It is very hot and cold water is always great and some people might have medication that needs to kept cool

The host was friendly and made us feel welcome from check-in until we left. The “bush” experience was awesome

Sleeping in a cottage was uncomfortable at first but the second night it felt like home. They need to get TVs in their rooms
