Everything was superb! The peace, the stars, baobabs, comfortable house, Thusani! We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back!

Alles oortreffend! Die rus, die sterre, baobabs, gerieflike huisie, Thusani! Ons het heerlik gebly en kom graag weer terug!

An experience not to be missed! Although we were a little taken aback that Nthakeni is located outside the Game Reserve, it was a really pleasant surprise. The place brings you to rest and to be in touch with the smaller surprises of the Game Reserve environment, such as insects, butterflies, trees and a wide variety of birds. We really enjoyed the swimming pool and walking trails with lovely views. Each campsite or house is wonderfully private and you only hear the sounds of nature around you. We can only congratulate the owners and all the workers on their excellent service and the incredible maintenance of everything in the camp. Highly recommended!

'n Belewenis om nie mis te loop nie! Hoewel ons effe onkant gevang was dat Nthakeni buite die Wildtuin geleë is, was dit regtig 'n aangename verrassing. Die plek bring jou tot rus en in voeling met die kleiner verrassings van die Wildtuinomgewing, soos insekte, skoenlappers, bome en 'n groot verskeidenheid voëls. Ons het die swembad en staproetes met lieflike uitsigte baie geniet. Elke kampplek of huis is heerlik privaat en mens hoor net die klanke van die natuur om jou. Ons kan die eienaars en al die werkers net gelukwens met hul uitstekende diens en die ongelooflike onderhoud van alles in die kamp. Hoogs aan te beveel!

Absolute gem of a place. It was an incredible, wonderful, fantastic experience! It was a lovely surprise to discover the hidden gem. Most beautiful, most beautiful wildlife. Cottage so nicely decorated and cute. Neat and clean and different! Really sorry we only stayed one night. Would love to visit again.

Absolute juweel van 'n plek. Dit was 'n ongelooflike, wonderlike, fantastiese ervaring! Dit was 'n heerlike verrassing om die weggesteekte juweel te ontdek. Mooiste, mooiste natuurlewe. Huisie so lekker ingerig en oulik. Netjies en skoon en anders! Regtig spyt ons het net een nag oorgebly. Sal so graag weer wil besoek.

If you want to visit Kruger, think carefully. Lekkeslaap's advertisements give a false impression. We had a nice stay, but unfortunately we were under the impression from the website that the place was in the Kruger National Park. It definitely is not! And to enter the park and drive to where the action starts is about 30–45 minutes, and the road is very bad. Impossible to miss the potholes. However, the accommodation and amenities in the resort are fantastic.

As jy Kruger wil besoek, dink mooi. Lekkeslaap se advertensies gee 'n wanindruk. Ons het lekker gebly, maar ongelukkig was ons onder die indruk van die webtuiste dat die plek in die Kruger Nasionale Park is. Dit is beslis nie! En om by die park in te gaan en te ry tot waar die aksie begin, is so 30–45 minute, en die pad is baie sleg. Onmoontlik om die slaggate te mis. Maar, die blyplek en gerief in die oord is fantasties.

Breathtaking and a must with available store with honest invoice booklet. Very pleasant oasis and friendly reception. Sunbird Cottage ideal for 2 people. The adjoining cottages ideal for an additional 4 people. Congratulations on the trees that have tags. Maintenance excellent and campsites beautiful, especially under baobab trees. Toilet and shower tent adjacent to baobab tree picturesque.

Asemrowend en 'n moet met beskikbare winkel met eerlike faktuurboekie. Baie aangename oase en vriendelike ontvangs. Sunbird Cottage ideaal vir 2 persone. Die aanliggende cottages ideaal vir bykomende 4 persone. Baie geluk met bome wat tags het. Instandhouding puik en kampplekke pragtig, veral onder kremetartbome. Toilet en storttent aangrensend aan kremetartboom prentjiemooi.

Wonderful experience at a gem just outside Pafuri gate. What a great experience visiting this gem! The campsites are spacious and clean, and the service from the owners on site is very professional. Camping under the beautiful Baobab trees is a highlight. I highly recommend it, 10 out of 10! My review will be on YouTube at Rusty_And_Dusty.

Wonderlike ervaring by 'n juweel net buite Pafuri hek. Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring om hierdie juweel te besoek! Die kampgronde is ruim en skoon, en die diens van die eienaars op die terrein is baie professioneel. Kampeer onder die pragtige Baobab-bome is 'n hoogtepunt. Ek beveel dit baie aan, 10 uit 10! My resensie sal op YouTube wees by Rusty_And_Dusty.

Very neat, clean and comfortable. Beautiful campsite in nature. Only stayed overnight and could not explore the area. Will definitely stay a few days next time.

Baie netjies, skoon en gerieflik. Pragtige kampplek in die natuur. Het slegs oornag en kon nie die omgewing verken nie. Sal volgende keer beslis 'n paar dae vertoef.

Exceptional camping! What an exceptional camping spot. It's our second time and we will keep going back. The grounds are immaculately kept. The bathrooms and kitchen area are spotless and a pleasure to use. It's a stone's throw from Pafuri gate, so very easy day trips into Kruger. But the campsite is so wonderful in itself; we love just staying in camp and enjoying the walks around the area.

Nthakeni is a back-to-back camping experience. If you love camping, Nthakeni is for you. This is a particularly beautiful part of SA. Safe and quiet. If you want to stay 2 nights, book 3, because you will want to stay. Excellent service, private campsite, super clean.

Nthakeni is 'n teruggaan-kampervaring. As jy lief is vir kampe, is Nthakeni vir jou. Dit is 'n besonderse mooi deel van SA. Veilig en rustig. As jy 2 nagte wil bly, boek maar 3, want jy sal nog wil bly. Uitstekende diens, privaat kampplek, super skoon.
