It's all about value for money, isn't it? And Mantobeni is in my opinion great value for money. It was my third time at that camp, over the last 12 years. Overall, a very good experience, we loved the cooking and the game drives were good. I remembered it to be excellent, that's all. I remembered our sundowners to be... More

Honeyguide provided a fantastic experience with their tented camp. The game drives, food and service were all first class but it was the thrill of sleeping out in the open that topped off a great stay. We saw 4 of the Big 5 and to experience them at such a close distance just added to the experience. I would thoroughly... More

We stayed at the family camp. From arrival to departure. The staff was extremely attentive, caring, helpful and fun. We laughed, ate and shared many stories together. The tent rooms were clean, comfortable and relaxing. Never too hot. Beds were excellent and we always had a restful night sleep. The food was incredible. Something different every day and all of...

We stayed at Honeyguide Mantobeni tented camp in March 2012. It was a disaster from start to finsh. The camp could best be described as on its last legs and downmarket. The tent was dark and we were constantly searching for dark items such as underwear and cables. The service attitude was deplorable. It was as though the staff would... More
