Amazing all around!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 06 May 2024
The array of animals we saw was AMAZING! We were out close to 7 hours a day looking for animals.
The staff were incredibly friendly and our room was wonderful. We had an elephant come right up to our porch and eat the tree which improved our view :)
The pool was an added bonus. It is beautiful and a great place to spend time between the game drives. The food was delicious and it was nice not to have to make decisions on what I was having. You only get a choice at breakfast. Coffee was delicious!
I would love to return someday. One of my favorite game lodges!!!!

We stayed in Room 0ne at Nottens Bush Camp. Our lodge was spacious and beautiful except for the outdated dingy furniture. Why would you spoil the aesthetics of an otherwise really nice room? Both the couch and chair badly need a facelift. Another thing that bothered us was hearing the voices of the staff who were working in close proximity to our room. That was not ok. But all in all we enjoyed the game rides and the property. Seeing the big five was indescribable. We had the best ranger and tracker. The entire staff was pleasant and the food was great!

My husband and I spent 3 nights at Notten's in early March 2024 and had a fantastic stay; from the initial welcome to the details in the beautiful hut, the meals and the fabulous game drives and drivers Joseph and Thulane (we saw the Big 5 in one day!). The staff were happy to help at any time and always with a smile. The infinity pool was a special treat at the end of the day. The view from the dining lounge area is spectacular looking across the savana and the day we arrived two adult elephants and baby leasuirely strolled by a few meters away - now thats a welcome! Overall it was a wonderful experience and we loved every minute. Thanks to David, Jane, Cheryl and all the staff for everlasting memories!!

Nottens Bush Camp was the best of our five stays in and around Kruger National Park. The huts are rather houses and provide all luxury that is required. Food was good though not spectacular. The best experience however were our excursions, we basically saw all animals we wanted to see at a super close distance.

What a place......start to finish on our very quick two night stay we we're looked after so well by the whole team whilst in the lodge with a special thank you to Jan for the added surprises when she realised it was our anniversary.
They feed you so much fantastic food 3 meals a day which all felt like 5 star dining and the flavours were unbelievable.
Rooms overlooking the wild bush have chance to see any animal passing by...we were lucky enough to get an Elephant and worthogs at ouf balcony!
The game drives daily led by our fantastic driver Wonder & our tracker Joe were crazy...we we're lucky and saw everything including multiple leopards, lions, elephants, rhino, giraffes, hyena and even a very rare cheetah plus many more. With Wonder getting us closer than we'd thought possible his and Joe's knowledge of the bush is great and was always willing to stop for any personal interests made it for me.
I really can't say enough about this place having booked during covid in 2021 the wait was worth it and far exceeded expectations, I'd recommend this lodge over some of the other luxury ones nearby as the cost here is a fraction of the price and still has the luxury feel with a rustic charm that i feel is very important with a safari trip.
Thank you Nottens we'll be back!
