Pros +

  • Great safari experience close to Hoedspruit airport. Layedback atmosphere with professional friendly staff attending to your every need. They made us feel part of their family.
  • Surrounded by nature, and wildlife. Access to game drives and the chance to see animals up close.
  • Vuyani was an amazing experience! Great location, facilities, and service, but what really made our stay 5-star was the staff. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. They made us feel very welcome and super pampered. The food was great and homecooked that you can feel the love they put into cooking, everything was super clean, and they tried to accommodate any special requests we had. The reservation also came with two game drives every day, and our guide and tracker, David and Derek, were amazing! Super awesome guys, so nice, informative, and professional. They found us the big 5 and more! Even things we didn't expect we'd be lucky enough to see, they really tried to give us the best experience. Additionally, an elephant and many other animals came to visit the lodge while we were there, it was so cool to see them up close and relaxed in their own natural habitat. So happy we chose Vuyani for our first Safari experience.

Cons -

  • Nothing
  • Limited drinks Options some work to be done on the drinks menu. No cocktails , champagne or mimosa in the morning. The staff kept on saying they don't really get local visitors so we are not really catered for.
  • Could have better choices for drinks
