The information from the place is bad. I nearly slipped in the car because of the owner.

Not even staying. The owner doesn't have respect for customers. Please, people, stop paying owners who don't respect us.

Was a great break from the city - definitely worth the money.

Was a great trip. Stayed in the tented camp 1 - beautiful location, watched giraffe and rhino come to the water hole. The camp has everything you need and they have just opened a deli and gin bar just next to it which was lovely.

Die verblyf is lekker, net jammer die breekdeposit wat jy betaal. Sukkel jy om enige antwoorde terug te kry. Het al 'n e-pos gestuur en geskakel. Sal net ander mense aanbeveel om dadelik die oord se mense te vra om te kom kyk na die breekware om al die gesukkel uit te skakel.

Relaxing. Exciting. Adventurous.

The name of the Lodge is very apt. We had nightly visits from the bushbabies at our delightful tented camp, which was directly opposite a watering hole, where we saw rhinos on the very first day. The guided game drives also ensured that we spotted a lot of game and learned so much about the environment. Although we did not see lions we definitely heard them. All participants of the guided bushwalk could not give the wildly unique experience enough compliments. From our amazingly hospitable and helpful hosts and their staff to all the exciting and perfectly executed activities the lodge offers in such a stunning setting, we can absolutely not find fault with a single thing during our 5 days there. The teens massively enjoyed the individual potjie evening which was presented with such care by Bushbabies, and Sunday lunch at Arlington Cidery was delicious too. Highly highly recommend the 30min microlight flight with our skilled cool pilot Johan, as well as the relaxing hands of Shelly's mobile spa crew who arrives and revives. Brilliantly we now have a bunch of teen city boys constantly enthusing about the bush and all its fauna and flora and wild adventures and the wonders of nature. Truly an enriching and character-building, educational and refreshing experience. We loved it, thank you so very much Bushbabies Lodge Dinokeng!

No dogs should be allowed in Dinokeng. Hearing dogs barking at night interferes with the experience, of being in nature and the bush.

Not bad if you don't have kids.

Chalet was not very clean. When requesting it to be cleaned I was charged for it. They advertise that they have WiFi, but there is none, no service provider signal either. Mini convection oven is too high to be able to cook on the counter and plates do not switch off (very dangerous for children). Shower taps needed replacement as hot water kept opening - but this was done while we were there so at least got done. Not enough towels for a 6-sleeper and not enough kitchen space.

Bushbabies Lodge 's response

It is unfortunate that Shayleen did not have a good experience. I do think that a rating of only 3 for location indicates that the guest made a mistake in her choice of location as we are situated in the prime area of the highly acclaimed Dinokeng BIG 5 game reserve and might not have been wat she had in mind. This was actually evident on arrival of the guest when the remark was "I do not have a good feeling about this place." A beautiful garden, green lawns, swimming pool, watering hole for animals right next to the fence, kiddies play area with splash pad, honesty tuck-shop..all was not what the guest had in mind. We do apologize for any inconvenience in the chalet and do immediately react on any suggestion previous guests have on our units as to improve in each way we can. Wi-Fi in off-grid areas do sometimes have temporary downtimes but is usually seen to within minutes. All our communication from the lodge is dependent on Wi-Fi and we regard it as a priority.

Dit sou net lekkerder gewees het as ons ook die swembad kon gebruik het. Daar was 'n partytjie waar meeste mense saam was, so ons wou nie intrude nie of dit was te vol. So ons maar by ons deel gebly meeste van die tyd.
