"Arrival welcome After a 3.5hr drive from Jberg with mostly highway but around 30km of dirt track we arrived at Letamo initially, the sister lodge. Make sure to book with a reputable transfer company as the dirt track is a challenging drive. After a beer in the bar at Letamo our dedicated ranger Sam picked us up in the land cruiser and took us over to Babohi, it was quite a nice touch to get a transfer over to Babohi with our guide and become acquainted. We knew straight away we were in great hands with Sam from the outset! Once we arrived at Babohi, a ceremonial hand wash and welcome drink during a relaxed check in. Room We stayed in a 'premium room' which was immaculately furnished, a lovely plunge pool, bath tub, and two showers; inside and outside. A welcome drink of African rum and ginger ale in the room was a nice touch. The room enjoyed lovely views in which we could see baboons and an array of bird life. Golf buggies would escort you from your lodge to the main reception. Another lovely and convenient touch was that laundry was included! Wish we knew beforehand as we over packed. Food An exceptional pastry chef who makes the best blueberry muffins I've ever tried! Favourite meals were lamb chops and the springbok shank. Standard drinks were also included with the full board package. 4 meals a day, pre game drive breakfast, brunch, high tea and dinner. Overall Fantastic game drives with plenty to see! A remarkable high end Safari Lodge! "

"Everything was 6 stars. Located inside the private game reserve - you are picked up at the gates - being 30 minutes rough terrain drive from Sediba and thereafter are made to feel like special guests. Only 6 lodges in use (8 max) means total of 12 guests when the park was fully booked. The staff could not be more friendly, helpful, and genuinely interested. The rooms truly luxurious and spacious. Fluffy white towels changed several times a day. We had an entirely private deck overlooking the valley, bathtub inside, hot tub outside. The communal pool was very cold (early Sept) but most people stayed in their lodges when not in the restaurant or on the drive. The chef is talented and although a set menu, happy to offer alternatives. Our guide, Mike, was friendly, passionate about everything around him and entertaining and very talented - driving whilst tracking and spotting and commentating on animals, birds, plants, everything. It's a smaller reserve with rocky terrains, making the driving an off road experience and spotting animals a little more challenging than some of the open parks but thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night, 12 drive experience (we saw animals to and from the gates). Martha, Martin, Nadia and all of the staff were exceptional. "

"The room we were in had 4 burned out lite bulbs and a leaking toilet. When we brought this to their attention, 1 lite bulb was replaced, and the toilet not fixed while we were there. The food choices were limited and repetitive, and the flavors bland. Lots of wildlife, and the staff was courteous and knowledgeable. "

"We enjoyed our stay @ Safari Plains. Arriving we were received by such friendly faces. The Luxury Tented Chalet we stayed in were overlooking the field where the game came to graze. We enjoyed the morning & afternoon game drives with the well informed guide, Ben. On our first night we had an open air dinner prepared by the chef and staff, it was amazing! We most definately recommend a stay at this 5 star lodge it will be an experience you'll never forget. ALL the staff made our stay fantastic. "

"I booked a weekend away for our daughter and her partner as a birthday surprise. They have nothing but praise for their whole experience. A spa treatment was included and a 5 star lunch, all well above expectations. Highly recommend."

"The place was very good and clean"
