    While the food was nice, I think they are trying to be too fancy with the food. Would have preferred simpler and more South African dishes that can add to the experience on being in the bush. With the set menu selection for lunch and dinner, I would suggest a vegetarian option on the menu.

    Very personalized service, staff all very friendly and happy to assist with all requests. I loved the open fire and the room, and it was all set up for us when we returned from dinner, I just had to light the fire, really a nice touch. The game drives are really nice as going with max 9 persons on one van. Morning game drive in winter is very cold, but we were provided with hot water bottle and blankets. I would highly recommend this resort if you are looking for a quiet personal real safari experience.

    We had a problem with the electricity tripping evertime we used the kettle or coffee machine. Hopefully they sort it out soon.

    My son and I had a brilliant time at Inverdoorn. From the friendly receptionist Praise to the the Game Rangers to the waitrons, all of them were superb. Jacob served us most days at meal times and was very friendly and service was efficient and nothing was too much to ask for. We had the best Game Ranger Fanwell, incredibly knowledgeable and hard working. He took us on all our game drives on our week stay and we felt very safe in his hands. We loved the food, very tasty and presented well with a variety to choose from everyday.

    Just note this is a game reserve lodge so smaller than an actual national park so naturally there are less animals. Despite this, the land is so vast and it was so exciting seeing the different animals. Just note as this is a game reserve, theres quite a bit of flies near the food and moths in rooms!

    This game reserve lodge was absolutely fantastic. Included in the price was breakfast, lunch, snacks in the pm and dinner. The food options were actually good (i’m suprised!). Also, included in the price was an afternoon game drive (when you arrive) and a morning game drive before you leave. Staff were amazing here and a big shout out to our driver Fanwell (spectular guide and he was really good about teaching people about the star constellations). Last but not least, the bedt thing is the animals - there’s quite a variety - lions, zebras, hippos, rhinos and leopards (the big five), as well as giraffes, springbok! Absolutely great and affordable experience!! Thank you

    Unpleasant, noisy tourists on first day. Mention of big 5, but there is no physical way for the reserve to have leopards on premises. Wilderbeest herd could be more comprehensive.

    Room was great, food was great, wine selection was good, private game drive was definitely worth the premium, staff was great, very clean, safe, and generally quite serene.

    We went with a group of seventeen friends that we call family and there were not enough e-bikes and horses for our group to do on our down time but other than that it was AMAZING!

    This was the first time my husband and I have been on a safari and I just have to say we had an amazing time with friends that we call family. Lodging was beautiful! More than we expected. The food was delicious! We had a blast going out on the drive. We will definitely do this again with our children.

    These were top things I noticed in poor reviews: Food: Every meal was a buffet. I found the food to be tasty, healthy and with plenty of options. Game Drives: my favorite review "this isn't the serengeti"...correct, the map will tell you that!! while it's not a true wilderness it is also NOT a zoo, you are truly gonna go searching out animals! And you'll see them so close the wildlife will BLOW YOUR MIND! Staff: kind, always willing to help; some friendlier than others but that's how it works with humans Accommodations: totally comfortable and clean; if you're able to upgrade to Deluxe it is worth it for space and privacy

    Be aware that there are roughly 6 kilometres of unmade roads to reach the camp. It's not great if you have a small hire car.

    Beautiful setting, very friendly staff & the game rangers went out of the way to make sure we saw the big five. Also, a continuous food supply 😋
