No photo in the world can capture the feeling of a trip to Vuyani nor words describe its heart beat. I expected dusty heat and flickering glimpses of animals (mostly retreating in the distance). I was pretty sure of smiling faces and good catering in an environment of establishment luxury. In short, I anticipated the usual 'quality' holiday But what... More

We were lucky enough to spend 6 nights at Vuyani Safari Lodge in April/May 2013 and we loved every moment. We were waited on hand & foot by the amazing staff - nothing was too much trouble. We loved our time spent with Mike our guide (he seemed to be stuck with us for most of our outings) - he... More

My husband and I had a truly wonderful time celebrating our 35th anniversary at Vuyani. We stayed for five days, enjoying the warmth, professionalism and humor of every single member of the staff. We were well taken care of - from the moment everyone greeted us at the front door until the moment that they gathered to wave goodbye when... More

The whole safari thing seemed a bit pricey but after staying here for three days I felt like it was totally worth it. Great staff. Excellent safari guides. Yummy food. Good company. Very nice, clean and appropriate amenities. I really didn't want to leave after a three night stay. Stay AT LEAST 3 days/2 nights. 3+ nights is best if... More

I cannot express enough how amazing my experience was at Vuyani. I am a 25 year old from CT. I found the Vuyani Lodge while searching the Internet. I went from January 10th-16th. I was looking for a big get-away and found everything I was looking for with them. The price was excellent when compared with others. I signed up... More

My husband and I stayed at Vuyani for 5 nights on our honeymoon and it was incredible! We did the road transfer from Jo'Burg and had a nice drive with Andre, who gave us some highlights of the region during our scenic drive and a bit of history. Once we arrived, we checked into one of the honeymoon suites. The... More

I cannot express enough how incredible my experience was at Vuyani. First and foremost was the staff. They are absolutely amazing! It's a small staff therefore you get the opportunity to know each and everyone of them. They all go above and beyond to make your experience special. The rooms were very clean and nicely decorated. They include small touches... More

My wife and I spent 4 nights at Vuyani over our honeymoon....and it was absolutely fantastic. Granted it was our first experience on a game reserve so my review may be a bit biased, but nonetheless, Vuyani was everything we could have hoped for.....and more importantly, it was small and quaint. Rooms - as nice as any 5 star hotel... More
