We read the great reviews of Notten's Bush Camp and we were not disappointed. Everyone and everything was extraordinary. We were greeted warmly, and during our entire stay, everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We stayed in a family suite (Room 8) with two bedrooms, two baths, outdoor shower, and long porch facing the bush. This room was at the very end, away from the watering hole. One night, we awoke to the sound of 4 rhinos snacking on grass just feet from our porch! With our faces pressed to the screens, it was truly an amazing experience. The Summer House was perfect, with small, comfortable seating areas facing the watering hole, where the animals were on constant parade. The food was great, the lodge was beautiful and low-key, making you feel right at home. We loved the candle and gas lamp lighting, but make sure you unpack during daylight. so you don't have to go looking for a toothbrush in the dark! Our game drives were exciting and Joe, our driver, and Rydant (spelling?) our tracker made sure we had the best animal viewing. We loved the cocktails in the bush! It was great fun to come back from our evening drive and sit at the community table and share stories with the other guests. It was very clear by the repeat business that people love the Notten's Bush Camp experience. When we checked into another hotel in Timbavati and told them we had been to Notten's, they commented on the great family who run the camp. Shout out to everyone, especially Joe, Rydant, Suzie, Gift, Sipho, and Dale.

We stayed at Notten's, unfortunately, just for one night, and it was definitely, far too short,.... This amazing camp offers not only, personal service, but gunuine hospitality. We arrived just after lunch, and were offered high tea, which is served at 15h00, where a table was layed, specially for us. High tea consisted of: two slices of sponge cake, a tapas, - of gerkins, tapenad, and pepper dews, a cheese platter, with a selection of cheeses, and crackers, and bread, and a fruit platter. Together with this, was a choice of hot beverages, (tea/coffee) or a drink from the bar, - Gin and Tonic, ice cold beer, or a non alcolholic refreshment. We were shown to our room, overlooking the grassy plains of Africa, with the wildebeest roaming accross, and then later enjoyed a game drive. The game ranger and tracker were most knowlegable, and we were lucky to have sitings of Leopard, Lion, Rhino, and Buffelo. On arriving back at the lodge, we were taken to our room, where a bath had been drawn for us, the candles and lanterns glowing in the room, gave a magical ambiance. We were then escorted to the boma, where dinner was served, - a South African Braai, but first, a starter of Carrot and Tomato Soup, then Fresh Asparagus and grilled Hallumi cheese with a hollandaise sauce, never to forget the most divine chocolate dessert, with Amarula liquor, and then still chocolates served at the Boma fire. Nottens camp, is truely a once in a life time opportunity, where your experiences will turn into fond memories. Thank you David,... for your kindness, and in making this dream a reality.

Well, all the other reviews say it all - it is quite amazing. Small, private - just how it should be. We were a big party for a friends 60th and had the whole camp to ourselves. 3 nights - our room 1 was fabulous. Huge, with a comfy bed, a/c, bathroom which had a bath with a view, and both an inside and outside shower. Food and drinks were plentiful throughout the stay, and given the fairly punishing schedule (knock at your door at 5am) we needed a rest afterwards! The (6) drives were consistently good in showing us new areas and all the wildlife. We saw very much more than we expected - quite amazing. The staff constantly made our stay better and better and surprised us so many times - and I won’t spoil it for you! Go….

Just returned from 3 nites, 4 days at Notten's Game Lodge. Rave reviews for wonderful hosts,
Drivers extraordinaire, Mr. T and Gideon, healthy food ( I'm vegetarian) Each meal had plenty of fruit and veggie dishes.
4 hour game drives 2x's a day, 1 1/2 hour informative walk each day.
Spa, beautiful pool, even workout room.
Oils lamps, and candles are only electricity, so be aware.
NO INTERNET OR PHONE SERVICE, so if you are looking for those comforts, best go somewhere else. There is a phone in office they are glad to let you use, but no other reception.
You are in the bush.....
Saw big 5 plus so many other animals and birds.
I will go back to this untouched paradise.

I spent quite a bit of time looking at all the bush camps in the area. Criteria included rustic, maybe no electricity, but comfortable and good guide reviews. We did not want to stay in a large resort, wanted limited guests. Notten's is the place. From the airport it is about 1 1/2 hours by taxi/jeep through some towns and then across the bush. The Camp contains only about 15 separate rooms, include several two room suites. The rooms each have private large patios from which you can view wild animals in the mornings and evenings. This is an all inclusive priced place. Fantastic 5 star meals served outdoors under the patio covers or around the fire pit and you get to meet new guests every meal, great wine and drink selection, all is included.

Guides and drivers are local to the area and are some of the best I have ever encountered. Your day starts with a predawn snack, followed by a bush drive to see animals as they wake for the day. Then you return to camp for breakfast. Another bush drive in late afternoon and into the evening, then return for dinner. During the day you can take bush walks with guides, swim in the pool or just chill with a book and drink. The next nearest bush camp is about 10 miles away, but all the drivers from all the camps are in radio contact so they can figure out where the animals you want to see are at any given time, they wander about a lot. They have 8 passenger open top jeeps so everyone has a great view all the time. You get right up close to lions, giraffe, antelope, spring buck, elephants, leopards, monkeys, cape buffalo, rhinos, hippos, creepy crawlies. These are not trained zoo animals, they are wild, so you do not stand up or get out of the jeep. The animals have generally gotten used to the jeeps, know they are not a threat, and ignore them, unless you stand up, then they notice and will run away, or charge the jeep, somewhat of an unnerving experience when that happens. Guides continually ask what you specifically want to try and see each trip. Best to spend at least 3 nights here. No internet, except in their office for emergencies. No electricity in rooms, just oil lights, which is perfect for the mood. Very nice rooms and exceptional bathrooms. I would recommend this for anyone. Accept children (I think there is a minimum age requirement for safety).

All rooms are at the rack rate per person. Go to their website and it will be there. Deal directly with them to get the best rate. It’s all inclusive. The only money you will use would be tips and gift store. There is WiFi, but not in your room. Nottens fills out quickly. We already have 2019 booked.

Hi Jenny, we booked through Flight Centre. They should have the prices for 2017. Each guest room is standalone, with plenty of space. Ours slept 4 guests, and consisted of one main room with queen bed, armchairs etc, plus a separate bedroom with 2 single beds. Each room had an adjoining bathroom. There was also an additional outdoor shower overlooking the game reserve. Not to mention the large balcony to relax on. We travelled with our son too - there was ample room to spread out.
