    We had room no 2, which has less privacy due to its location right next to the common area (but all other rooms have more privacy). And the food (especially vegetarian) did not meet expectations, especially considering the high price, in terms of both variety and quality. It was more like what you would expect at accommodations costing €50–100 per night.

    We had a fantastic stay at Inyati! The game drives (with Rodger and Qulani) were absolutely amazing, it couldn’t have been better. We saw the big 5 even in one day. The entire facility is very peaceful in a great location and the staff was lovely! Highly recommended!

    We loved Inyati! An incredible setting with lovely facilities. Our room was gorgeous and was kept exceptionally clean and tidy by the housekeeping team. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and served with a smile. Our ranger Mike and tracker Solly were enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful. They made our game drives a wonderful experience. We saw and learnt so much. Thank you to everyone at Inyati for making our stay super special and a particular thank you for the kind gesture of champagne to celebrate the special (60th) birthday I had this year.

    The staff and the service were outstanding especially our guide and tracker Omega and Joel who went above and beyond to make our safari experience exciting and informative. Their passion and love for the bush and animals is something we will never forget.

    Incredible place. Saw elephants, leopards, and hippos all WITHIN the camp itself! Could watch giraffes, hippos, and elephants whilst having breakfast. Amazing game viewing opportunities - almost guaranteed to see big 5. Best place in the world to see leopards. Food and accommodation were also amazing, and staff were fantastic. Would recommend to anyone!

    You have to leave at the end of your stay. That is literally the only negative.

    Cannot say enough praises about Inyati game lodge. The rooms are ultimate luxury. Every evening you arrive back from a safari game drive and a hot water bottle is placed under the sheets of the bed to just warm you through enough at night time. The bedding and bed itself are also one of the best I’ve stayed in ever. My wife even mentioned it may be comfier than what we have at home. The rooms are stocked with numerous types of tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Snacks of Pringles and chocolate are also given to guest in the room. The food at the lodge is a real treat. Throughout the day from pre drive light breakfast, brunch, afternoon snacks and to main evening meals. The quality of all produce is of extremely high standards. Everything tasted amazing (especially the fillet steaks) and the service is that what you’d find in Michelin star restaurants. Game drives are the main reason we picked Inyati for our safari as it’s mainly about the animals and having the best chance to see them. It did not disappoint at all. Being in Sabi Sands is a perfect location and drives are with a set driver and tracker for your complete stay which allows a real bond to be built (Request Diff & Lucas). The drivers will do their best to get guests in a position to see what they aspire to most. Highlights of our drives were a mother leopard and her two cubs, who we were told all lodges had been looking for since their birth 7 weeks prior. A pack of lions feasting after their hunt of a zebra. Hearts of elephants on numerous occasions and 5 Lionesses with their 9 cubs. Throw in the daily sightings of Giraffes, Hippos, Impala, various birds and the odd rhino I don’t think there is a lot we didn’t see. Another nice feature is that there are only a small amount of rooms (11, I believe) this means that the accommodation would never feel overcrowded.

    Truly, the best lodge we have ever stayed in. The service was impeccable, the food was delicious, the room was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The kindest, most helpful and professional employees i have ever met. Every single one of them had a smile on their faces from the moment we walked in till the moment we left. The chef who cooked amazing meals, Mr. Goodman who made sure we were comfortable while in the lounge area, the receptionist who welcomed us when we arrived. And two of the most amazing people who accompanied us on our game drives. Mr. Omega, our ranger and Mr. Joel, the tracker. I would like to deeply thank them for their patience, their knowledge and their beautiful spirits. Everyone was super friendly . It was our first time going on a safari trip and i'm super glad we chose Inyati Game Lodge. Thank you for the wonderful memories. Cannot recommend this lodge enough!!
