We spent three days in Bayethe Lodge in Shamwari game reserve. We had four drives with Minos a senior ranger working at shamwari and we had definetly a very great time with him!

We recently stayed at Bayethe Lodge for two nights as we were celebrating a big birthday. The location was good, but marred by the newly built cement wall (even if a low one) clearly seen from our first room. I had specifically enquired about having an outside shower, but our first room did not have one (hence a room swop... More

My Wife and I just spent 3 nights at Bayete Tented Lodge on the Shamwari Game Reserve. It was a trip of a life time. We started in Cape Town, then Franschhoek then ended on the Safari. The Lodge was beautiful and it was a real tent with canvas walls. The feel of a tent with luxury was quite a... More

We stayed three nights at the Bayethe Lodge and had three early morning and three evening game drives. The experience was truly outstanding with excellent service and fantastic rangers, especially Jacques who provided such enthusiastic detail and information about the animals, plants and bird life. The "tents" were simply amazing with large bedrooms, dressing rooms and very well appointed ensuite... More

The staff was amazing during all moments, our ranger Jan did each game drive like he was doing his first one, excited whith all small details like one of us. We saw the... More

Our family of five booked out the wilderness camp and had a great time. Note however that this is not really "glamping" but rather comfortable, well-supported camping. The site is small and intimate so it was great that we had booked out the whole camp as I would not have wanted to share with strangers. Our guides / hosts, Tim... More
