Inyati Game Lodge, Sabi Sand Nature Reserve

We loved our time at Inyati. We had frequent close viewing of a large variety of wild life , each time we went on our game drives. Our guide and tracker were informative and full of fun. The entire staff were professional, and dedicated to our needs, and made our stay wonderful.The accomodation , food , and atmosphere were all lovely. I loved every minute. It was a truely delightful experience to remember.

For over 40 years I have wanted to go on a safari and we finally went in May. Our travel agent, Matty's van Aswegen, had recommend this place , as it was his favourite place, to be our last stop and it was the best way to end an amazing holiday. We had already seen many animals in Zimbabwe and Botswana but hadn't seen a leopard yet. As we were checking in, one was walking across in the distance but clear to see. We did maybe see the same one several times after that. We got SO close to so many animals and even witnessed a lioness kill. It really was a wonderful place to see so many beautiful animals, large and small. The food is just amazing and every member of staff was so nice and helpful. Our family room was just great and so clean. The day we arrived, the owners were there, Dough and Carolyn, though they felt the next day, and it was clear to see that the staff respected them and they respected and were grateful for each member of staff. We initially had George as our driver/guide and then had Rodger and both were amazing. I don't know if we will ever be able to return but if we are able to do so, I will be most definitely stay there again. An experience and place that we as a family will never forget.

We had an enjoyable and lovely first safari experience at Inyati game lodge. The service standards are top notch, they are always attentive to deliver. Game drives were enjoyable and we managed to see the big 5 and more. The food is amazing, one of the best that we had in South Africa, we were so well fed not only in terms of quantity but quality as well. The location is also fantastic, facing the sands river where animals are free to roam and you’ll often see animals grazing in the front lawn. Despite the fence less concept, you’ll never have to worry about danger as the staff will make you feel well protected and comfortable. A big thank you to the entire Inyati team for making this trip a dream come through for us, absolutely no regrets staying in this property.

This place was amazing. From the second you drive up and they greet you with a delicious drink to the day you leave. The food was delicious. The staff was extremely accommodating. The rooms are great and the beds super comfortable. But the best was the guides and trackers. We had Keith the first night and George and Sully the rest of the time. They are so knowledgeable and willing to share. They also care so much about showing the guest as much wildlife as they can.

Our stay at Inyati was one of the most memorable travel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly attentive and genuinely caring, making us feel so welcome and looked after. Nothing was too much trouble, and it added such a personal touch to the whole trip.|The food was absolutely brilliant – every meal was a highlight, and dining in such a stunning setting made it even more special. Waking up to breathtaking sunrises and ending the day with golden sunsets over the reserve was simply magical.|The game drives were beyond incredible. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, each sighting more exciting than the last, all in the stillness and beauty of the bush. The memories don’t end there—one night we watched hippos grazing right on the lawn, and on another, a leopard casually strolled by. Moments like these truly take your breath away.| is more than just a lodge—it’s an experience that stays with you. We can’t recommend it highly enough and will cherish the memories forever.

Wow, What an amazing experience. Our guide Roger and Tracker Qilani were amazing. Giving us an amazing safari experience what they don't know about the Kruger probably isn't worth knowing. The lodge is beautiful and so well kept. The staff were great providing top quality service with delicious food and top hospitality. Would highly recommend this.

Not only are the game drives, rooms, service, food all first rate, but these people really came through in an emergency, when we needed to enlist the help of paramedics overnight. (The paramedic himself was completely outstanding, and put the American system to shame, frankly. We were beyond impressed.) In any case, Inyati management really came through for us at a worrisome moment; our sincere and heartfelt thanks. Outside of this moment, we had a wonderful experience here and would recommend the lodge wholeheartedly.

Inyati was out of this world! The staff was friendly and attentive. The chef was top notch. The locations is amazing! We saw lots of animals just while sitting on the veranda! The game drives were epic! Our tracker Cliff and guide Gabriel were full of knowledge and found all the good stuff! We saw the big five several times. We also saw baby versions of the big five! And the highlight- we saw a pangolin! ||We traveled with a wide age range. Our four kids were ages 12, 14, 16 and 18. And we had my parents in their 60’s with us as well. The lodge was perfect for all of us. ||I’ve stayed in Sabi Sand before but if I go back, I’m choosing Inyati!
