    Excellent experience. All the staff were friendly and extremely helpful for our every need. Not a moment went by where I didn’t enjoy myself. From the morning safaris to the nighttime dinner in the bush, it truly was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

    Room tip: During the winter, ensure to bring warm clothes for early mornings and late evenings.

    What a lovely place.

    Food was delicious! Every meal was excellent. Fresh breads every day and all meals homemade.

    Hosts pay attention to detail and make your stay as comfortable as possible. Our Ranger had a wide range of knowledge about the bush and treated us to special outings every day.

    Jembisa Bush Home is exactly that - a home away from home! The staff were really outstanding - friendly & accomodating and our guide was really knowledgeable. Our daughters loved the playroom, and playing in the garden with the dogs. Meal times were very special, very yummy food served in new spots each time. Special mention must be made of the bush breakfast on our last day which was postcard perfect. Lots to do, bush walks, game drives and fishing on the river.
