We've stayed at the N'Kaya Lodge during our honeymoon and only for 2 nights. This was the only bad!!! After you arrive, you only want to stay more. It was our first safara experience and it's been really incredible: Becks and Andres are extraordinary guides, the atmosphere, both in the morning that in the night, was so magic with colours...

My husband and I just returned from spending four wonderful nights at N'kaya Lodge located in the Thornybush Game Reserve. The location is an easy flight (40 mins) from Johburg or 21/2 hours from Capetown. Right from the beginning we were treated like royalty with courteous and friendly service from everyone employed. The staff who is ably led by Leanna... More

3 nights of complete pleasure and relaxation with wonderful game drives. You arrive as a guest and you leave as a friend - the staff are wonderful, they make you feel completely welcome and the Driver (Bex) and Tracker (Andres) for our game drives never failed to find the animals we wished to see. Big 5 done in the first... More

It's amazing how much a place like this can do for you in just one short weekend away. Not that you miss home at all at N'kaya; the staff are so friendly and do their utmost to ensure you feel like a long-lost relative. We only stayed for two nights but managed to see elephants, black and white rhino, buffalo,... More

We just returned from a safari at Thorneybush Private Game Reserve. We stayed at the lovely N'kaya Lodge. It felt like we were in our own private lodge. It is small and intimate... there were only a few other guests which adds to the quiet and peaceful experience we had. We visited another lodge on the reserve where there were... More

We stayed here for 3 nights last year on our honeymoon and had the most amazing time. We saw every animal going on our drives and just a few feet away. Saw baby leopard cubs and a mummy cheetah and her 3 cubs! Amazing! The food each day was wonderful and the hospitality of everyone there makes you feel really... More

Cannot speak highly enough of our recent stay at N'Kaya. Our first visit to Africa. A small Lodge with just 4 very comfortable chalets. Not only did we see every type of animal you could wish, but our expert guide and tracker (thank you Beckson and Patrick) meant we saw them mostly from just metres away. Fantastic. Between game drives... More

We stayed at Nkaya Lodge for 3 nights. We had a great time. Our lodge was excellent and as there are only 4 of them it was always very private. We were very fortunate in that we had private game-drives, which were absolutely amazing. Leanne really made us feel at home. --Thanks to Becks, and Andres we saw the Big-5... More
