Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille à Nyati, la villa était impeccable avec vue sur la rivière. Les safaris étaient géniaux surtout grâce à Aaron qui a pu nous partager son savoir sur les animaux mais aussi sur les plantes de la réserve. Quel plaisir de l’avoir eu comme guide et d’avoir fait sa connaissance. Bonne continuation à l’équipe et à lui!

THIS IS A LONG OVERDUE REVIEW!!!

I had never been on safari. The closest thing in Singapore is Mandai, and that is not the same thing. We booked Nyati because the all-inclusive package looked simple and the lodge sits on a river. I did not expect to tick off the Big 5 on a first trip, but we did.

Nyati is on the Olifants River inside a private 10,000-hectare Big 5 reserve that opens onto Kruger. The water does not disappear in the dry season, so animals come to drink in front of the rooms. That is the whole trick. You sit on the terrace with coffee and elephants walk through the frame. You do not have to “go find Africa” every hour.

Food and the all-in package
Everything is included: breakfast, lunch, dinner, wine, beer, soft drinks, two game drives a day, airport transfer. Coming from Singapore, that matters. You stop doing mental maths every time someone pours a drink.

Food was better than I expected from a lodge buffet. Proper braai, decent salads, bush breakfasts with a view, dinners that did not taste like one kitchen repeating itself. After three days I stopped comparing it to zi char prices and just ate. Tell them early if you need Halaal.

The drives — and the Big 5
Two drives a day, open vehicle, rangers who actually know the reserve. Because it is private land, you are not sitting in a car park of other jeeps.

I know people leave Kruger without leopard or lion. We got the full set as first-timers. That is not a promise Nyati can print on a brochure. It is what happened to us. The river location and fewer vehicles helped.

Staff
This is the part that surprised me more than the leopard. People remember your name and whether you take sugar. Pickup at the airport to the last goodbye felt like one team, not a chain of contractors. Danish-owned, South African-run. Organised without being cold.

Money
High-season rack rate for a River Bungalow sits in the mid-to-high thousands of rand per person sharing, all-in. Specials bring it down. From Singapore the flights are the other half of the bill. You are paying for two drives, all meals, all drinks and not having to think. For a first safari that simplicity is worth something.

Who should book this
First-timers who want a high chance of good sightings without roughing it. Couples. Families — children of all ages are allowed. People who like watching animals from a deck with a drink in hand.

I went as a complete beginner from Singapore and left having seen all five. That is a high bar for a first safari. Nyati cleared it.

8.5/10. Book a special if you can, stay at least four nights, and hope the leopard is in the same mood ours was.

An amazing experience was had a nyati safari lodge. From your arrival drink, to your amazing rooms overlooking the river with hippos and elephants. Accommodation ranges from permanent tents to chalets and larger 2-4bedroom chalets with private pools. Rates are all inclusive with two game drives a day, three meals a day and drinks. All staff were amazing and very friendly, we enjoyed every minute. I always love stepping into a safari vehicle and wondering what am I going to see today. We travelled July 26, the temperature was perfect not too hot and not cold.

Tak for en fantastisk safari. Vidunderligt gourmet restaurant med daglige game drives. Når vi ikke var på game drives, sad vi foran vores hytte og så elefanter og flodheste ved floden, det var også store oplevelser. Vi så mange dyr og guidene gør meget for gæsterne. Vi var de eneste i lejeren der efter 21 game drive ikke havde set leopard, men så tog Kenneth og Russell os ud på et game drive hvor vi kun ledte efter leopard, vi så friske spor, frisk leopard tis, vi så den ikke men var meget tæt på, den var faktisk en mere spændende jagt end hvis vi havde set leopard, 1000 tak for den gode service. Eneste ulempe i nyati er der ikke er faste biler. Jeg kan godt se fordel i at køre med forskellige rangers, men de ved ikke hvad du har ser før og bilen stopper ved noget du har set mange gange fordi de andre i bilen ikke har set det. De har 2 steder, milima og nyati, prøv begge steder hvis du kan. Vores største oplevelse var en løve jagt, selvom de ikke fangede giraffen var det meget spændende og en stor oplevelse, og den meget store flok cape buffalo vi så krydse vejen foran os.  Vi synes maden var lidt bedre på nyati, men game drives var bedre på Milima. Safari er en dyr ferie, men vi synes faktisk at Nyati og Milima er billigt med al den gode mad og vin, og de store Safari oplevelser. Kan varmt anbefale en Safari på Nyati safari lodge. Value for money
