From the moment we arrived, the warmth of the staff made us feel completely at home. Their hospitality was exceptional, always attentive and eager to ensure our stay was perfect. The food was another highlight , delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Every meal was a treat, and it was evident that the chefs take pride in their work. The game drive was an absolute highlight of our stay, guided by the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly Sboniso Gina. He took us on a journey through the history of Babanango, providing fascinating insights into the area and its wildlife. Another thrill was the zip line — an exhilarating experience that gave us a new perspective of the valley. The adrenaline rush, combined with the stunning views, made it a must-do activity during our visit.

Nothing, we enjoyed each and every moment.

We were treated like Royalty, from the moment we arrived until we left! We really had a wonderful stay in Valley Lodge. The room was spotless, and we were impressed by the cleanliness throughout the lodge. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful, making our experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, perfect for unwinding. The food was delicious and well-prepared. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would highly recommend it. BigUps to Lizo, our tour guide, very passionate and knowledgeable which made our game drive experience fun fun fun..!

Food at all meals was very good.

Small thing but maybe like a welcome drink when you arrive back from game drive in the afternoon.

Rooms- modern, very comfortable, pool towels included. Pool - stunning waterfall pool, the loungers as round the pool are padded and recline, there's an outside table for lunch. Boma - where they have dinner aorund a huge fire pit, tables are set around the fire pit and the buffet is very extensive with lots of veggie options. Meats are cooked on the braii Inside - comfy chair areas to sit around and relax, bar area and inside dinning area where breakfast is served and other meals during the rain. Safari private tours - We had Siboniso, he was so lovely and worked so far to find us game. You get an early morning drive and a mid afternoon drive included everyday. You can go on 1 or both daily. You stop half way to have a drink and some snacks in the wild. Absolutely incredible. Staff- the staff are unbelievable. Attentive to your every need. All staff seem to be doing multiple roles making for a friendly environment. Animals - home to the big 5! We saw cheetah and cubs, lions, rhino rolling in the mud, zebra, giraffe and lots of buck.

Nothing. We even extended our stay!

What can I say other than we had the most amazing time at Babanango game reserve. It's a fairly new reserve and our overseas guests were blown away by how much wildlife they saw. Babanango offers a top class product and we were very happy with the service from the staff, the food was exceptional and we'll definitely book again in the future.

There wasn't anything we didn't like but we were hoping to see elephant and rhino.

The cleanliness of Valley Lodge is impeccable. Lumka certainly went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. Mr X on the Game Drive was great, he tried his best to help us spot as many animals as we could and took extra care especially since we had our 3 month old with us. The food was amazing. Over all Valley Lodge is peaceful and Tranquil. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely nothing.

Liked the breakfast, X2 game drives daily, stopping for hot drinks and biscuits in the beautiful reserve .Cleanliness, Friendly staff.The birthday gesture of cake and singing.

Only having air-conditioning for a few hours each day ,very hot days and nights. Sleeping at night was unbearable and sweaty. Meals did not have many options.

We had an absolutely fantastic 3 night stay at Babanango. Our room was enormous and luxurious. The food was exceptional, we ate so well. The staff were wonderful, friendly, personable and nothing was too much for any of them. We looked forward to the nightly story told at dinner, a really thoughtful idea. Our guide Mr X was simply brilliant. He went the extra mile to ensure that across our 5 game drives we got to experience an incredible variety of game, bird life and terrain. His determination to track and locate game was outstanding and we'll never forget his skill at ensuring that we were able to have a front row seat as the beautiful cheetah brothers stalked potential prey. Thank you to each and every one of you for such a memorable stay.

We have a great stay, we enjoyed everything from the warm welcome we received, our game drive Guide was also very good. Big Up to Mr. X!!! We'll surely return in summer. Ooooh! How can I forget the food OMG!!!

We arrived after the Southern Floods, so we couldn't sight most animals and also because it was cold. Surely in summer, it will be better

The staff were amazing. Thank you to Gugu and Bongi and team for their amazing hospitality and service. The food, especially the vegetarian was spectacular. Compliments to Vim. Very knowledgeable guides for the drives and walk, really interesting to hear about the rewilding and conservation activity
