The room was spacious and the people were really nice at Shiduli. They put extra attention to detail like a small elephant made with towel on our bed to wish us welcome or preparing the room with the mosquito net before we are coming back to the night. The game drives were really nice. Tracker and driver were really knowledgeable.

Loved everything about Shiduli.

The property was spotless and had all of the amenities required for hot weather. Air on in the bedroom and gorgeous swimming pool. The staff could not do enough to make us comfortable and made sure that we were well looked after. The game drives were out of this world and our rangers were highly knowledgeable and very attentive.

The rooms could be a little larger and have a shower in each room. Ours had only a tub with sprayer.

The staff at Shiduli are exceptional— from the service staff to the guides, everyone was friendly and helpful and worked hard to make our stay wonderful. We were happy to see so many animals on our game drives.

The entire set-up was amazing, the staff were extremely attentive and the game drives were out of this world. Our tracker Mosco and our Guide Colin kept us informed and ensured we got picture perfect moments on our game drives

I have a number of medical dietary restrictions, the lodge dealt with them sensitively and completely.

Both my partner and I couldn’t stop smiling as soon as we arrived. Every staff member was so lovely and helpful. The food was different each meal time & was so nice! We stayed here for 3 nights which was the perfect time! If you’re lucky enough to have Colin as your guide and Mosco as your tracker then you’re in for a treat. They were so knowledgable and friendly and made our trip amazing! If you said you’d love to see a zebra then they’d go over and above to try and find it for you. Would recommend this place to everyone we speak to!

It wasn't clearly communicated to us that the evening safari was starting a 4 pm sharp. (Since the check-in is until 7:30pm we assumed we were safe coming at 5pm). So we missed the first safari. Better communication in the booking.com description or at the time of reservation would have been appreciated.

We loved the safari experience where we saw all the big 5 and Hippo, Girafe, Zebras, etc. Guide and all the staff in general was extremely nice and made us have a really good time. We booked the superior room and enjoyed the private pool and the and the amenities of the room

The only criticism I would have is that we were asked for dietary requirements before arriving, which we gave, me and my friend don’t eat meat but we eat fish. The first night they had fish and pasta as our main, which was great! But then the following 2x nights and then our meals for our day trip to Kruger were all meat based. I just wish that they looked at the dietary requirements that they asked for. However, there were still plenty of sides/salads that filled us up. Our final night, I think because they felt bad, they’d cooked us some fish but they came to us 1hr into the meal to tell us this so by this point we were already full of veggies. The food was still amazing and despite this, I would certainly go back! I would just say that perhaps mention it a few times if you have any dietary requirements so they remember!

Overall this experience was great! The staff are there to greet you from the get go, they’re always there to help! The game drivers are lovely and very knowledgeable! We even got to walk close to some cheetahs, I can’t recommend this place enough! They also offer day trips to Kruger if you still want to experience the famous national park! During our final breakfast, the staff came out to perform a traditional happy birthday dance for one of the guests, it was an amazing experience to watch it!

The wifi connectivity did drop in and out which sometimes made things difficult. It would also be handy to have the door between the shower and outdoor shower open.

The personal touches and experiences - the team went above and beyond. Everyone was absolutely lovely! We stayed in the Superior Suite - it was magical. The guides made sure we saw as much as possible and with the best views. Overall we had a wonderful time with a luxury vibe.

Maybe vegetarian options on offer.

Food was absolutely exceptional. The range of fresh fruits and salads at every meal was out of this world. Despite the searing summer heat they also hosted a brai to really make us feel at home in South Africa. An effort is made to change the location of your meals each day which is such a lovely touch. There are a lot of negative reviews about the wifi, but you are in the bush, so it might be worth taking a reality check if you think you’ll have top notch wifi. You’re there for nature after all. The guides were outstanding. We were incredibly lucky to have Peter as our tracker and Peter as our guide. They could not have been more hospitable in terms of sundowners and refreshments, but were also always focused on safety along with maintaining a high level of professionalism at all times. We also got to see some incredible things on safari too. All in all, this is an amazing place and would fully recommend for a less commercial safari than normal.

The accommodation/facilities were not as well-maintained/clean as shown in the pictures on booking.com. Poor noise insulation - you can hear pretty much everything from the room next door.

The game drives were superb. Both the ranger and the tracker (Charlie and Peter) were extremely knowledgeable, went above and beyond to show us whatever animal we wanted to see, and were just overall super fun to be with. It was Charlie and Peter who made our trip an experience we'll never forget and will forever be thankful for - thank you so much!

Everyone in the staff is so happy all the time, really polite and peaceful people. The game drives were perfect; we could see all the big 5 and many more animals during our 4 game drives. Our guides tried hard all the time to find the animals. And about the food…the food there is PERFECT. From the mini breakfast before the game drives to the dinner, nothing could be better. There were so many options, flavors…astonishing. Shiduli is a huge property, with great facilities.
