We had an awesome time.

Thank you so much for hosting us this past weekend. We had an awesome time. We really enjoyed staying at your property. The service was so personalized and professional. The attention to detail, especially with the kids as second to none. The kids lived the game drive and everything they learnt during that experience. The staff were extremely professional, welcoming and pleasant. We look forward to coming back and spending more lazy afternoons by the pool. Hopefully by then your plans to have an entertainment area and pool near the villas would have come to fruition. Thanks again for everything – we will definitely be back!

Babirwa is a magical place, we felt like we were in the heart of Africa.

We want to thank you dearly for your amazing hospitality. Babirwa is a magical place, we felt like we were in the heart of Africa and all her glorious beauty and magnificent wildlife. The accommodation is stunning, the villas are so stylish and elegant, and the service that you gave us was absolutely superb. We were treated and cared for like royalty, your standards are truly so high. We highly appreciate your effort to make our stay more exciting by choosing different beautiful places to show us. The lakeside dinner was a fantastic treat, the settlement was just magical. We even had fireflies… it was like a dream. And the bonfire every night was a special thing! Everybody in the lodge was so professional. Hannes is such an amazing conservationist, it was a pure pleasure for us to listen to his explanations for the various different animals. He knows everything about everything in nature! And he loves every single one of the animals in the farm, the game drives with him were mesmerising! Everybody else from the staff was also extremely friendly with warm smiles on their faces and we highly appreciate all the efforts to satisfy even our smallest needs. Your type of hospitality, which is absolutely personalised for every one of your guests, makes the stay in Babirwa absolutely unforgettable and we are definitely coming back soon. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

What a special slice of Africa!!

A quiet and remote retreat for family and friends to escape the city and enjoy gorgeous scenery and warm hospitality.
We loved our 2 night stay and next time, we will certainly plan to stay longer as there is plenty to do and enjoy.
The food included delicious homestyle favourites, the rooms are beautiful and generous in terms of space and comforts, and the team who run the lodge go above and beyond.

Getting our of Joburg with a lovely place to escape to, just go easier!

What an overall lovely stay!

Ugashnee was amazing from before arrival, keeping us posted and excited for the trip. From the moment we arrived, we were met with broad smiles by all staff members. The rooms are beautifully decorated and thoughtfully arranged, often finding items you’re likely to forget to pack. The food was amazing! Elegance and sheer luxury are the common theme accross each experience at Babirwa. We did not want to leave but we definitely left refreshed and revived. I will most certainly be coming back! A special shout out to Hector and Ntokozo for taking such good care of us!

Location, comfort, great service, breathtaking views and serenity! All boxes ticked and expectations exceeded!

Nothing comes close indeed!
