The food and location were really good, staff at the restaurant were very helpful and kind. However, they do require a bit of training (no fault of theirs)
The game drives were good but it felt like after seeing one major animal, the guide was very relaxed and didn’t make an effort to spot anything more.
The camp also organised a special dinner on one of the nights in the middle of the Bush, which was spectacular, great food, entertainment and organisation.

I loved my stay at Honeyguide. Everything was beyond my expectation and made my trip magical.
The staff and drivers are great, they are very friendly and warm and make you feel like at home.
The location is awesome. They are a private reserve, but there is no fence, so animals from other reserve can roam here, and you might get a chance to see them. Also, they can go off-road which makes the games so much more interesting. We saw everything except the leopard.
The pool at the main area is a huge attraction. The elephants regularly visited the pool to drink water when we were staying, and we got a chance to see them very close.
The tents are very comfortable with heating mattress (helpful for colder nights).
Located in Manyeleti Game Reserve, Buffelshoek Tented Camp offers a garden and barbecue. Sabi Sand Game Reserve is 21 mi away. Free private parking is available on site.

No fences around this camp so animals are literally at your doorstep. Food was remarkable and the game drives go up really close to the animals. Very kind people and comfortable accommodation.

The rooms are beautiful with fine details and everything you could possibly need. The staff was incredibly friendly and took time to learn everyone’s names. We loved our game drives with Mynhardt. Just wish we had more time to spend enjoying the camp.
For travelers who love being in nature with some added luxury. Also known as glamping, tented camps provide full or limited services, surrounded by wilderness. Typically in permanent or semi-permanent camps, these private tents/yurts are a great way to rough it and stay glamorous.
The tents are nicely spread out in an unfenced camp, so you are immersed in the bush with wildlife all around, we had elephants walking past our tent and drinking from the swimming pool. The staff were friendly and very attentive. All meals were buffet style and ok. Our game driver was good and knowledgeable. Animal sightings were few but we were able to get very close to them.
Amazing place. The tents are very comfortable and tastefully furnished and decorated. The common areas too. It was a pleasure to come back for a hot drink there after a safari. We stayed 2 days and the elephants came twice to drink at the waterhole. The staff were so kind. The guides were awesome. Gave us unforgettable memories of dozens of beautiful animals and lots of interesting facts and real/life stories. The food - meals and breakfasts - delicious. We loved everything. Everything was very clean, both the tents and the common areas.
Very great tented Safari camp and fantastic Game Drives. Within 2 nights, we had 4 Game Drives and could see not only Zebras, Elephants, Giraffes, but also Leopard, Rhino, Cheetah - thanks to our great driver Devance. Food was also very nice and as the accommodation was without fence, we saw elephants drinking next to the pool and eating next to our tent.
The game drives were exceptional. Beckson went out of his way every single drive to try get us the best sightings of animals. Not every drive was 100% successful, but that is the nature of a legit wildlife safari!
The accommodation was basic, but a fantastic experience in the wild. Waking to elephant noises is an experience I won't forget.
The realest safari experience you can get (but still in a comfortable way!). The tents are really clean, modern and comfortable, the staff are unbelievably helpful and friendly, the food is AMAZING, the elephants came to the pool once during our 3 day stay and the game drives are out of this world - you are truly experiencing the wild bush! We had the best time.
It remote and open to the animals so you never know what will wonder through. Tents are great and we enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. Food was fantastic and really tasty. Most important on a safari are the trips and guide Ronnie was brilliant and made sure he explained and found everything we could see. Really glad to get here in the end as we had to cancel for Covid but worth the wait and thank you to all at the camp. You’re a fab crew.
Unfenced tented camp in the middle of the bush provided excellent safari feeling. Manyeleti is quite big and you get a feeling of being remote. We loved the food. Onward trip organization possible thanks to wifi. Game drives were a blast, despite school holiday we saw only few other visitors but many animals instead. Elvis was a great guide.
Really enjoyed our one night stay at Mantobeni. Very well organised with safari timings etc. and the tents are spacious and comfortable. We had lovely meals and the staff were very cheerful and friendly. The special treat is the pool area with the visiting elephants.
Ndzhaka is such a special place to stay for a safari, we had an amazing time! Our guide Mike was incredible at spotting wildlife and we were really impressed.
The tented camp itself is just really authentic and a great experience - staying right where the wildlife happens with just a handful of people. The accommodation is basic but with very comfortable beds and had everything we needed, including great food. We would definitely stay there again!
