Spend a few hours at Gwahumbe for the game drive, was absolutely wonderful. Professional and friendly and what an incredible experience. Our game ranger was knowledgable and accomodating. I would recommend this game drive to anyone with a little sense of adventure (quite hectic 4x4 tracks) which i thought was exciting. Highlight of my drive was seeing the cute little... More

We spent a weekend at Gwahumbe with 4 adults and 2 kids (5 & 6yrs) - we stayed in their Riverbend self catering cottage. The cottage was very clean with 3 bedrooms all en-suite and a very well stocked self catering kitchen. (all beds were single) The bathrooms were clean and well designed with windows over looking the amazing views.... More

Gwahumbe is overated on their website. We visited Gwahumbe on May 1st 2013. We were hoping to do a game drive, visit the spa and have a nice meal at their restaurant. On arriving, we were told that we would not be able to have lunch as the kitchen could not cope with orders. Apparently it was too full. We... More

Location was stunning, spa and service was amazing, the beds were so comfy, we had a lovely time at Gwahumbe. We loved the splash pool - it was fantastic. I have to say that one of the bedrooms had a horrible damp smell and the carpet felt as if it had not been vacuumed for days it was full of... More

Words can’t explain how incredible Gwahumbe made our wedding weekend, only just the warm smile I have every time I think about our wedding day makes me realise how truly magnificent they made it. What I was asking for most would think was on a different level of high expectations, but from start to finish, the staff at Gwahumbe just... More

My husband and I stayed at Gwahumbe a few years ago and had a wonderful time there with excellent very helpful service, the rooms are gorgeous and comfortable. More recently, however, a friend and I went through to the Spa for the day and again had such a wonderful time. A tea/coffee station is available to guests at all times,... More

Superb views, wildlife, friendly service and a world-class spa. Gwahumbe is a private Game Reserve that offers you exactly that – privacy in a beautiful Game Reserve. Even on a fully booked weekend you somehow seem to “miss” the other guests, making you feel as if you are the only ones there. The rooms and units are beautiful with each... More

Went to Gwahumbe for the spa package which included an overnight stay. Great service from all the ladies. Good food and best hot stone massage ever. We did not get to do any game drives but the other guests we spoke to, really enjoyed theirs. Spacious comfy rooms and great views.
