Fantastic!

Wonderful place! Will definitely visit Thanizimbi again. And, the animals were the cherry on the cake!

Fantasties!

Wonderlike plek! Sal definitief weer Thanizimbi besoek. En, die diere was die kersie op die koek!

One of the best weekends away to be had!

Wow, I didn't know what to expect when I booked Thanizimbi. As a fearless and dedicated researcher, the information I found online about this treasure of a place, did not satisfy me. However, I went with the mindset of, just do it. And boy! Am I glad we did. About 4 hours from Johanneburg (shortcut is a bad gravel road ─ not recommended due to huge rainfall), we took our children off on an adventure. Arriving in Thabazimbi, we realised we had no actual directions to get to the farm (left on the kitchen table). A quick call to Abel ensured a solid ...

Wow, I didn't know what to expect when I booked Thanizimbi. As a fearless and dedicated researcher, the information I found online about this treasure of a place, did not satisfy me. However, I went with the mindset of, just do it. And boy! Am I glad we did. About 4 hours from Johanneburg (shortcut is a bad gravel road ─ not recommended due to huge rainfall), we took our children off on an adventure. Arriving in Thabazimbi, we realised we had no actual directions to get to the farm (left on the kitchen table). A quick call to Abel ensured a solid set of WhatsApp messages, sent immediately to us. 15 mins from Thabazimbi Central and we arrived. We were welcomed by a couple of impala, a springbuck and a curious giraffe ─ always impressive. A beautiful spot, with a fire pit, a welcoming pool, and the gem of a host, Abel. With game drives, a huge lapa, a fishing dam, wonderful families and a safe spot for our children to roam, we had the very best time. Abel and his son were consummate hosts. Would I recommend Thanizimbi? Absolutely. Would I go back there? I'm already looking for a free weekend. Key points I should mention: No cell phone signal (which was wonderful). The pool isn't covered with a net, but somehow the kids (and there were tiny ones), rode their bikes on the pathways. Bring bikes. Bring hiking boots. Bring fishing rods. Don't bring your own firewood ─ they supply for R40 a bag, and its the best wood!

‘n Heerlike wegbreek.

Ons het so lekker gebly! Die plaas is pragtig, verblyf gerieflik ingerig en Abel en sy personeel doen regtig moeite met hulle gaste. Welgedaan!

Tranquillity guaranteed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Abel for the speedy responses to all my queries raised during the booking process, the directions to the Farm, etc. I really appreciated it! The property owners were absolutely amazing and made us feel quite at home. Sam and the other employees were all friendly and extremely helpful. One downside for us, was the massive creepy crawlies. I've never physically seen such huge spiders before, but then again it's farm living after all and that can be expected. We’ll definitely be back in the near future (well-armed ...

We’ll definitely be back in the near future (well-armed for the spiders) and to take a game drive through the beautiful farm.

Wonderlike verblyf, rustig en waarde vir geld.

Aangename verblyf in die rustige bosveld tussen al die wild op die plaas. Netjies met baie aangename eienaars en personeel. Sal beslis terugkeer en sterk aanbeveel.

Dit was heerlik en rustig gewees.

Baie netjies, lodge is baie goed ingerig, die rustigheid laat jou ontspan en vergeet van alles. Abel is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig!

Adequate accommodation.

The accommodation was basic but adequate. Needs a bit of TLC. Bedside lamps and lighting needed bulbs. Self catering, but no toaster for breakfast toast. No cleaning services offered. No phone signal in the area, and no Wi-Fi. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Wow we enjoyed every minute of our stay, I don't mind going back.

Everything was perfect we enjoyed every minute and my kids want to go back. Thank you so much.

Thanizimbi is 'n perfekte venue vir 'n groot groep mense of familiebyeenkoms. Goed toegeruste kombuis met baie eetgerei. Vriendelike personeel. Pragtige omgewing en natuur.

Die hitte het ons in die aande 'n bietjie ondergekry met die aircon wat nie gewerk het in die hoofhuis nie. Ekstra waaiers sal in die kamers aanbeveel word. Maar die heerlike swembad het ons lekker laat afkoel en almal het hulle gate uit geniet. Pragtige omgewing en natuurlewe. Baie veilig gevoel ten alle tye. Die kombuis was baie goed toegerus gewees met baie eetgerei vir 'n groot groep mense. Dankie, ons het lekker gekuier.

Amazing.

Die verblyf was ongelooflik. Alles wat 'n mens nodig het was in die kamers. Die ligging is fantasties, die personeel is vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Ek sal beslis Thanizimibi Game Farm aanbeveel.

Met all our expectations.

Very friendly hosts, can't do enough to meet and exceed your requirements. Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Thanizimbi. Accommodation spacious and lovely. I was on crutches and the hosts could not do enough to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Will recommend to all.

Rustigheid saam jou gesin en familie.

Die beste manier om kwaliteit tyd saam jou familie deur te bring. Bosveld, wildkyk, voëls en rustigheid.

Value for money can not be beaten at any other Game Resort in the area.

A proper rest away from home means a proper rest away from the old cell phone. Be prepared and let everyone know who might be looking for you that you will not be reachable while visiting the resort.

The chalet was neat. So was the terrain. We loved the animals that grazed there.

Neat place. Friendly people. Nice braai wood. 10 out of 10.

Die chalet was netjies. Die gronde ook. Ons was mal oor die diere wat kom eet het.

Die plek was netjies. Vriendelike mense, lekker braaihout, 10 uit 10.
