We cried when we left (in a good way). The game drives provided as part of the stay were out of this world. So amazing. The perfect way to celebrate my daughter’s 21st. The management were super helpful and bent over backwards for my two kids who both have special needs. Would definitely go again but I don’t think my bank balance would cope! Once in a lifetime trip. October was the perfect month to visit. Rangers highly knowledgeable and you get allocated the same one each game drive so you can build a relationship with them. You won’t regret it if you book with Shepherds Tree x

Contact with the property prior to our arrival was easy and quick. And from the moment we arrived to warm towels and wonderful welcome drinks on the patio, everything was lovely, every detail considered, and every staff member was amazing. The food was some of the best I've ever had. Rebecca, the chef, created the dishes that were magical. TRY the soup - every meal! We felt welcomed everywhere we went. There were snacks and drinks before game drives - excellent. There were chocolates on our pillows at night - excellent. Our game drives were led by Answer who was knowledgeable about animals, plants, and traditions. I could listen to him teach me about southern Africa all day. People say that you should buy experiences, not things. I'm telling you, this was the best money I've ever spent. Thank you.

Very nice lodge. The lodge is close to the entrance and the roads from the lodge to the main animal viewing sites is not in good condition. Therefore each game drive has a 20min drive out of the lodge and back before you can experience frat sighting. The lod

Amazing South African adventure
Our stay at this beautiful lodge was everything we had hoped for. Our accommodation in villas 31 was absolutely amazing, the service and food were incredible and our safari guide Sean was awesome! We had some great sightings of the animals in the park on every drive he took us on! I would 100% recommend this lodge to anyone wanting an amazing South African adventure!!

Very good without blowing us away
This is a lovely hotel but with a few imperfections. It is all about the safari and the safari was brilliant. In our three night stay we saw all the big five which was fantastic. The lodge itself is very good but looking a little tired in places. Our shower in particular was falling apart, although the room itself was of a high standard. Service was a little hit and miss. Very good most of the time but lacking when it really mattered. I would recommend Shepherd's Tree. Very good by South African standards and decent by European standards.

The Restaurant and Food was superb, the Bar and outside space was great. The Staff were excellent. The Bedroom was great with amazing views but a little tatty round the edges, some things in the room were broken or damaged, it didn't affect the stay but for the price you expect perfection.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed. Staff are all super helpful and courteous. Game drives were very good, local guide was excellent. The food was also a highlight, all meals were amazing, the restaurant had a wide variety of options to chose from the menu. Facilities were in great condition, can't recommend enough this place. One thing to improve would be the outdoor showers, we had a hard time (because of the cold) bathing during the evening, since it was winter.
