This place is actually such a lovely experience. We went there as a couple on our honeymoon as part of a trip around South Africa and found this place on booking.com. We're so so glad we came here. The staff are really what made this place what it is. Every single person introduced themselves. Everyone was accomodating and was proactive - this is what differentiates transactional customer service with an experience that makes you feel valued and welcomed as a family member. Now, I must say that driving there should definitely consist of a 4x4 or high clearance vehicle. We made a massive mistake of driving there from richard's bay in a tiny red dishwasher of a car, in the pitch darkness. However, the staff know about these issues and actually all live locally (they even know how many hippos are in the lake!) So they came in a pick up truck to help navigate us when we got scared of the animals at night. Directions on Google are being fixed but I'd either recommend Waze or I'd recommend using the directions given by the hotel. We arrived about 20 minutes before a major storm so some activities were off the table (like visiting the wetlands as they were flooded!) For the rest of the week. Though we went on all other tours. Even when we didn't have cash to pay our driver for the big 5 safari (highly recommend) the lodge just paid it and billed us at the end, saving us yet again! When we asked to move rooms as it can get quite slippery and my wife's ankle is bad, they did it in 20 minutes. When we wanted laundry done before our next leg, they promised 24 hours and they did it in just over 12 (they were dried and pressed too!) To add to all of this, they've got board games and amazing cocktails and food to help you kill time. The food actually was a major highlight. We worked our way through the whole menu as it was so nice! The burgers are a highlight by the way! They even called us a few days prior to arrival to check our dietary requirements.

The most beautiful setting ❤️. Our room was tastefully decorated with a very comfortable bed. All amenities exceptional. The food was out of this world and all the staff super friendly and helpful. Had an awesome spa treatment.

We were warmly welcomed from the reception to the luxurious tents that were spotlessly clean and cool. I definitely recommend Urban Glamping. Amenities are nearby, and the staff is so welcoming, very friendly, and helpful

Everything ! The staff (Yinginsa, Gabriel and Sakhile were absolutely amazing). The tent was very comfortable and it was nice seeing animals popping by the restaurant.

The property was well maintained and just all round great, we travel with two young children and the facilities accommodate for them. Will definitely be back
