From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the staff at Waterbuck Game Lodge did everything to make our stay unforgettable. The rooms were gorgeous, with everything one could ask for. The drives were unforgettable, and while of course you cannot really plan on what you’re gonna see, everything in the power was done by our guide Matt and his tracker Solly to find the animals we were hoping to see. To see the beautiful Sengile, and to meet the youngest Avoca daughter, her mom, aunt, her dad and two uncles will be something we shall never forget!

This was a home away from home. It’s a small camp and and because of that you get very personalized service. The tents were wonderful with air-conditioning since we came in the summer. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was huge. Overall, the tent was a very good size. The food was delicious and the game drive was exciting. In the evening from the tent, I could hear the lions roaring. We had a wonderful Boma in the evening with chicken curry. I would definitely come back here again,it was quiet and comfortable. Our guide and tracker were very knowledgeable and personable. All the staff were helpful and pleasant.

Breakfast was lovely and we sat on the front of our room to eat this. Views from the look out tour were a real highlight as you can see amazing sunsets and animals playing.

This property is incredible! The rooms were stunning and so large. I had no idea how amazing the safari rides would be- Justice and Elvis did such an amazing job at making us feel safe and finding/getting up close to the big 5. The service is impeccable- Tinyiko our server was so kind and we felt so cared for. I wasn’t expecting much for the food- due to it being all inclusive- but it was absolutely amazing quality, ingredients and preparation.

We stayed at this lodge for 5 days in October and it was truly the best experience. The lodge itself is very modern, beautifully decorated and the outdoor shower is such a welcome addition. Annie was amazing - she helped co-ordinate and book all of the activities we did and helped us navigate and change/update our plans as a result of weather. Annie gave us great recommendations and answered all of our questions. The food was a real highlight of the trip - from the fresh fruit starter at breakfast to the three course meal in the evening. We cannot recommend this place enough - the staff went above and beyond to make our stay in South Africa amazing and we really appreciated it.

The staff and facilities were all excellent.
The staff and facilities were all excellent. The highlights, of course, were the two game drives every day and all the wildlife we experienced. The food was plentiful and thoughtfully presented with a combination of local and familiar dishes. The "tents" were just short of opulent but rustic enough to remind us that we were on a safari. The staff was there to take care of our every need. We highly recommend this camp.

We were greeted warmly by owners Michael and Vicky who were always happy to chat and find out about our experience at the lodge. When I mentioned a couple of minor issues they were quickly addressed.
Our tent was comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed seeing antelopes just outside. They also came to drink from the swimming pool, giving us some great photo opportunities.
The driver Dennis and spotter Phomani were very knowledgeable and found some wonderful sites to spot the animals, especially the lions killing a buffalo.
This is definitely one of best places we have stayed! The staff was wonderful, the game viewing was phenomenal with our first sighting being a leopard within 5 minutes of leaving the lodge. We saw the big 5 several times in our 3 night stay. The room was large with a great view of the waterhole (Suite 2). You can take a shower while viewing wildlife at the waterhole - how cool? The food was PLENTIFUL and amazing. Great cocktails too. Loved the different dinner seats every night. A very romantic place to go!
Perfect from arrival to departure. Its now around 2/3 weeks ago and we still think about our stay and Safari every day. The lodge is lovely to stay with the kindest staff who also love to make some fun! The area is amazing for safari and game drives. We saw a LOT! And of course the big 5! our tracker and guide made sure we wouldn’t leave without seeing them all. Tangala team goes above and beyond. thanks for making our safari dream coming true like this! We love to return one day!
We had an amazing stay at Tangala. Our first safari and it didn’t disappoint. Our Guide Respect and Tracker Fumani were incredible, went all out to make sure we saw the Big 5, great guys.
Karen and Bertus run a fabulous authentic lodge and all the staff were fantastic, they all made sure we had the perfect experience. Can’t recommend Tangala enough !
The location is perfect for anyone loving the bush. Tranquil and safe. Perfect get away from the maddening crowds of city life. The attention to detail is amazing. A gem in the bush. The affordable accommodation and delicious home cooked meals makes Sunset Game Lodge perfect.
