Inyati Game Lodge

Cannot say enough praises about Inyati game lodge. The rooms are ultimate luxury. Every evening you arrive back from a safari game drive and a hot water bottle is placed under the sheets of the bed to just warm you through enough at night time. The bedding and bed itself are also one of the best Ive stayed in ever. My wife even mentioned it may be comfier than what we have at home. The rooms are stocked with numerous types of tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Snacks of Pringles and chocolate are also given to guest in the room. The food at the lodge is a real treat. Throughout the day from pre drive light breakfast, brunch, afternoon snacks and to main evening meals. The quality of all produce is of extremely high standards. Everything tasted amazing (especially the fillet steaks) and the service is that what youd find in Michelin star restaurants. Game drives are the main reason we picked Inyati for our safari as its mainly about the animals and having the best chance to see them. It did not disappoint at all. Being in Sabi Sands is a perfect location and drives are with a set driver and tracker for your complete stay which allows a real bond to be built (Request Diff & Lucas). The drivers will do their best to get guests in a position to see what they aspire to most. Highlights of our drives were a mother leopard and her two cubs, who we were told all lodges had been looking for since their birth 7 weeks prior. A pack of lions feasting after their hunt of a zebra. Hearts of elephants on numerous occasions and 5 Lionesses with their 9 cubs. Throw in the daily sightings of Giraffes, Hippos, Impala, various birds and the odd rhino I dont think there is a lot we didnt see. Another nice feature is that there are only a small amount of rooms (11, I believe) this means that the accommodation would never feel overcrowded.

Truly, the best lodge we have ever stayed in. The service was impeccable, the food was delicious, the room was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The kindest, most helpful and professional employees i have ever met. Every single one of them had a smile on their faces from the moment we walked in till the moment we left. The chef who cooked amazing meals, Mr. Goodman who made sure we were comfortable while in the lounge area, the receptionist who welcomed us when we arrived. And two of the most amazing people who accompanied us on our game drives. Mr. Omega, our ranger and Mr. Joel, the tracker. I would like to deeply thank them for their patience, their knowledge and their beautiful spirits. Everyone was super friendly . It was our first time going on a safari trip and i'm super glad we chose Inyati Game Lodge. Thank you for the wonderful memories. Cannot recommend this lodge enough!!

Inyati was the best experience for us in our trip. We stayed in multiple lodges in Sabi or Timbavati but Inyati was top. The game drive (safari) was excellent, with the driver and tracker very passionate in giving us the big 5 in only one drive! Our family room was super, with all amenities we wanted, with great proximity to the restaurant, nice bathroom, with free of charge chocolate in the room, just as a small attention, on top of water and other things. The breakfast was very large, with any type of food we wanted, in a very nice scenery. The staff super friendly and they really go extra mile to make you comfortable. The dinner and lunch with excellent food, prepared by professionals. The lodge is located close to a water hole and so we saw hippos and elephants from our lodge. Plus, a few other friendly animals are browsing around the lodge: impala, for example. I would recommend this lodge for S. Africa !
