I am struggling to find the words that completely sum up our 6 night stay at Vuyani so put quite simply - it was everything and so much more than expected for our first visit to Africa and on Safari!

From the moment the lovely gentle man that is Peace collected us from the airport we felt welcomed, Vuyani Lodge is a very very special place, we stayed in one of the 2 presidential suites but also took a peek in one of the honeymoon suites and they are equally as lovely, the food was excellent with plenty of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner but for us hands down our holiday was made perfect by Jannie our safari drive guide and Peace the drive tracker, Jannie is one of the most genuine authentic people I have ever met, he passionately cares about all animals big or small, he’s incredibly knowledgable about them and their behaviours, he’s also very very funny and went above and beyond to ensure our game drives were fantastic and for us he 100% made our time at Vuyani utterly memorable, so please completely ignore a previous review as it’s complete nonsense. Peace is such a gentle soul who again made our trip so memorable - we will definitely be returning to Vuyani as soon as possible. Thank you to everyone at Vuyani, with extra special thanks to Jannie, Peace, Funky and Witness… you are all awesome and a credit to the team Vuyani

Wildlife - we saw everything, the top 5 and so much more, we did the day trip to Kruger and I would highly recommend doing that if you have time when there and we met some wonderful like minded other guests who we really enjoyed spending time with…

I dont know where to start to express just how much we enjoyed the whole Vuyani experience.
Every detail made our stay everything we wanted and more.
The 3 of us stayed in the presidential suite even with the 2 extra beds there was plenty of room .
We loved the sunken bath and the hot tub on the decking, we sat out there every day and watched a number of different animals wandering past so close to us.
The game drives were amazing and were different each time we went out.
Uyai and chris did a fab job of keeping us safe and making sure we saw every animal there was to see ,even if they were very hard to find at times they never gave up.
Chris's hot chocolates were the best and much appreciated when the sun had gone down and it started to get chilly.
The food at the lodge was plentiful and varied and very tasty.
Allanah was very helpful and attentive and went out of her way to fix any issues we had including plaiting my Daughters hair!!
We met some lovely people who were staying at the time too.
I can see now why many people return again and again to Vuyani and we will be doing so too .
Thankyou for making our family holiday an unforgettable experience
One tip definitely take lots of layers if you are visiting in the winter the temperature went from 2 degrees to 30 degrees in the same day!!

Words cannot begin to describe how amazing Vuyani lodge is. They exceeded all our expectations and more! The lodge itself is beautiful and the landscape surroundings were amazing. The food for breakfast, lunch and dinner were all delicious with a great choice selection to suit everyone. What makes the lodge so special though is the staff…. The housekeeping team were efficient and very professional. The waiting staff were so friendly and remembered all our names and extremely attentive! A very special thanks to Alana/Alarna (sorry we aren’t sure on the spelling) - she is a huge credit to the lodge and really went out of her way for all the guests to make us feel at home and nothing was ever an issue. Also a HUGE thank you to our game drivers, Stephen and Solly. They genuinely made our trip the best it could have been. Every single game drive was amazing! They are extremely professional and informative at what they do. Not only did they make sure we saw every animal possible (and more) - but they taught us so much about the ecosystem and animals. Silly is a wealth of knowledge! The entire staff made us feel like family and we cannot wait to come back. Thankyou all for making a bucket list holiday the most memorable for us!
