I have just spent 3 nights at the Mantobeni camp which I can only describe as beyond wonderful - the people, the hospitality, the food, the atmosphere, the place, the reserve. The camp offers a wonderful bush experience and delivers all that it promises! The communal dining tables are wonderful and I enjoyed many a meal talking and laughing with... More

“Disappointed and mislead, couldnt wait to leave”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2012

We were on our 3 week African honeymoon and spent 3 nights at Honeyguide’s Mantobeni camp. Shortly after arrival we became extremely disappointed as it was clear to us we had been misled by the Honeyguide website and brochure regarding the 4 star status and customer service. Coming from a 5 star lodge to a 4 star camping lodge we... More

Unfortunately we picked probably the worst time to arrive in January just as the cyclone hit the region. Roads turned to rivers and we had to be reloacted several times, the first time due to concerns that we may get washed away and the second night the elephants had destroyed the fresh water pumps. As it turned out the second... More

I stayed with Honeyguide for 3 nights in mid Feb. 2012. The staff was friendly and helpful. Dreis and Devon worked very hard to allow us to see the Big 5. The tents are rustic, clean and as another reviewer noted kind of Hemingwayesque. (thats what we like) if you want a fancy schmancy lodge then this may not be... More

We loved this lodge. It was amazing. The accommodations were tent / canvas sided structures on a raised wooden platform. It is somewhat rugged on the outside, but five stars of luxury on the inside. The food was outstanding. We had group meals around a large family table with the guides. Coffee/ Tea was brought to our room each morning.... More
