Happy Clients Reviews

Beautiful spacious lodge, well equipped.
“This lodge is fantastic. Very spacious, Very stylish. Enjoyed being so close to the game that comes to drink from the waterhole.”

Absolutely amazing place!
“We had such a lovely stay, no noise, just peace and quiet. A home away from home, they have everything and more. Lots of animals and birds that visits the lodge daily, will definitely see us again.”

Wonderful Experience!
“Fantastic breakaway weekend with the family. Amazing accommodation with everything you need. The animals come right up to the lodge.”

Fantastic!
“We had a fantastic stay at Tumbili. The lodge was recently refusbished and very well appointed. It is kitted out with every amenity you could possibly require for a short and long stay. The large watering hole in front of the lodge attracts alot of game allowing you to view them from 3 meters away. We saw two elephants visit the hole on our first day at the lodge. The lodge is 5 minutes from the main gate making it very conveniently located to the reception, local shop and caravan park where most the activities start. The host Rosa is a very friendly lady and was a pleasure to deal with.”

Comfortable, Well Equipped & Private
“Comfortable, well equipped, private and peaceful. Exceptionally cleaned and the best service. You don’t get better value for money at this beautiful lodge.”
