Luxury Guesthouse Co — Hotel in Nkomazi

This was our second stay at Bushwise after visiting last year and this year we were part of a group of friends that stayed for the weekend. The entire group couldn't have been more impressed. From the seamless booking & arrangements with Annette to the warm welcome and great facilities.

The entertainment area in the main lodge offers unrivalled views of the Crocodile river and we were blessed with a permanent sighting of 2 hippos in the river for most of the weekend keeping us company during the day and at night. There is also lots of animal activity around the lodge itself and it was so special to wake up to a herd of Kudus and a duiker right outside our patio.

Tim and Annette were very accommodating & available for our group and the lodge staff were equally wonderful in ensuring that all the facilities were neat and tidy. A shoutout must be given to the two guides that the lodge arranged for us (Dylan & Irving) who took us on a morning game drive in the Park. Lovely banter and a great...

Over 25 animals, insects and birds were spotted during the first trip into the bush and many more on subsequent days although not as frequent. Johan's animal knowledge and their characteristics were vast and my wife was able to expand her knowledge gained from David Attenborough wildlife films and her Bird life spotting knowledge. He was impressed as I was that they both were able to recognise and discuss the animal habits, footprints and habitat. I was pleased to get over 450 camera shots of the animals and landscape which I am editing. My animal experience is much greater now but essentially I am a golfer who views the golf course wildlife with interest.

All in all it was wonderful and Bushwise was exactly what we needed and is highly recommended. We unfortunately did not have enough time to use their pool and facilities and after the days trips needed the evening meal and comfortable bed to rest for the next days early adventure. Thanks again for your help and safari...

My first time in Kruger park was massively improved by the care and attention Tim and Annette give while staying at Bushwise. Tim picked us up from the airport and described what we were seeing on the drive with great detail. He also organized our tours for us and took us to the park every day for us to embark on our safaris. The dinners were all exceptional. And the two staff members responsible for upkeep and cooking were also very nice and made the best food. The rooms were all spacious and comfortable, however bugs will get in no matter how quick you shut the door. Moths are waiting for you to open it. The dipping pool was a nice reprieve from the heat, and Tim was usually around to offer a cold drink if we desired. The only real knock is the lack of service you would find at a larger hotel, drinks and snacks whenever you want essentially. But for the size, the price, and the location, it...
