We stayed for just under a week and had booked the Hakuna Matata package, which includes all sorts of different excursions. The lodge itself is set in beautiful, spacious grounds, everything is very well maintained and clean. The rooms are very comfortable and tastefully done, and the food is really great - not just at the lodge itself, but even... More

This lodge offers you for the price good value and quality rooms. It would be nice to have air conditioning in the hot climate, but you can not expect it for this price. Good food and good position for excursions to the Drakensberg and krueger Park.

We were in South-Africa for 14 days and made a hole trip in the eastern part of the country. Of all the lodges we did, the Kubu Safari Lodge was THE BEST ONE !!! And we are used to travel and we normally stay in 4 and 5* hotels. The people are so kind and you feel they live for... More

Our stay here was a mix of what you find on this site. But you have to make a distinction between service and product. If you just want the summery here it is: It is not a 4 star hotel, maybe an average 3 star or a good 2 star hotel not because of the service which is oke (not... More

Unfortunately the lodge is not worth its high fees, and the website photos are very deceiving, and that is upsetting. If you are hoping to get the mountains scenic view that you find on the website photos, forget it! Those beautiful hills on the website cannot be seen from the lodge, in fact they are far away from Kubu Lodge,... More

Staying at Kubu Lodge we experienced nothing but good will and hospitality from the owners. The lodge has a great location, comfortable and cosy rooms of a good size and tasty food. What else does one need for a lovely holiday? We can only recommend it! All the best to Nicole and Manfred from Aneta and Dirk (Berlin)

Beautifull environment near Kruger Park, very comfortable accomodation with good service by friendly and hospitable people. Even with a few guests, breakfast and dinner are well provided for. The owners are very pleasant people, willing to take time and share their knowledge and experiences. The staff is charming and cheerful. They make you want to stay a lot longer....

We stayed at Kubu on our trip around South Africa and were pleased that we had at last found an affordable game farm in the Limpopo area. My kids, 5 and 16 months were treated by the staff like royalty and on the days that activities were not arranged by the owners, they spent most of their time in the... More

My stay at Kubu Lodge was horrible. Prices were over the top, a friend of mine was even charged for a cup of hot water. The owner showed no professional attitude my whole time there. Her customer service disgusted me. And upon our leaving she tried to hustle (swindle) more unecessary charges. My group leader paid an additional great amount... More

All these negative reviews result from one group of American missionaries staying at Kubu Safari Lodge. They groups tourleader responsible for the main account breeched the contract and refused to pay the contracted value. This group who claimed to bring prosperity and the word of God to the African people exploited our great hospitality and friendliness to the outmost. As... More
