Guest reviews Bayethe Lodge

Best ever

Stayed @ Eagles Craig for 4 days. Guide was Mino (the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide I have ever had. He made the experience “one of a lifetime” memories. The early and later game drives always showed amazing animals and animal kills. Mino was so skilled, he could anticipate the movement of animals and positioned us to have them often walk immediately in front of us. HIGHLY RECOMMEMD!!

Shamwari-Bayethe

We spent 3 days at Bayethe in October 2019. It was a fantastic experience! The tented lodges with plunge pools, incredible food and wine, warm and efficient staff were top notch. Our safari drives were incredible. We had lions and elephants walk very close to the trucks and saw a huge variety of wild life. We hope to go back again with the rest of the family some day. Big shout out to Timothy, our knowledgeable, reliable, enthusiastic guide with the best sense of humour!

Founders Lodge by Mantis - Fantastic holiday

We stayed at Founders Lodge which is just outside Shamwari Game Reserve but has free traversing rights to provide guests with a safari experience in Shamwari. The lodge is owned and managed by Mantis and the quality of their accommodation, food and service is top notch. We had an incredible time and were lucky to spend valentine's day at Founders (unplanned, but a special treat as we were royally spoiled by the staff on valentine's day). Our ranger, Skumbuso was one of the nicest, friendliest and knowledgeable rangers we have ever had and really enjoyed our game drives with him. Would highly recommend Founders Lodge to any traveler.

A fantastic family holiday

We stayed at Riverdene for four nights with eight game drives along with two safari walks. Raymond our Ranger is one of the nicest guys we’ve met, extremely knowledgeable and at all times respectful to all around him. We got to see the big five, loads of close encounters with lions, cheetah and the ever elusive Leopard which we got to see on two separate occasions. Raymond knew the huge reserve like the back of his hand and managed to keep all our family including our youngest boy who is six constantly interested and wanting more, our three hour game drives passed in no time and as we relaxed between drives and took in the views from our pool side we constantly talked about what we had seen and the next drive. Riverdene was the height of luxury and the fabulous kids club was a hit with our younger boys. We have just left and are checking out when to go back, could not recommend highly enough.
