Reviews from previous Bonamanzi Game Reserve guests
“Very nice accommodation with comfortable rooms equipped with everything, situated very close to Hluhluhwe-Imfolozi Park and therefore a good base for visiting. They are located in a private game reserve where it is possible to spot the big-4 (not the lion). There is a pool and very large outside spaces to enjoy the African starry skies,” wrote Siouxsie69 on their TripAdvisor page.
Turnbull5 added; “The camp sites are lawned, and spacious. Lovely to have had a separate private set of 6 electrified sites for our large group. The ablutions were spotlessly clean and only negative is that they are situated slap bang in the middle of the oval which splits the group camp.”
“The forests and lakes are just beautiful so it is a great setting for a relaxing but productive bush experience. It is great to find a private game reserve that is affordable for local visitors, prices comparable with provincial / national parks but better staffed and with better facilities,” said 586suziem.
