Always a pleasure to stay at Game Haven. Great views and sightings with good food. Stay too short as usual and the fire-place was a winner for the thin blooded in our party. Wishing that the owner would eat more cause he's losing weight like a racing-snake :-)

We had an amazing 2-day stay at Game Haven for our anniversary vacation with my family. The entire experience was nothing short of magical. The meals were absolutely wonderful—super delicious! I especially loved the chicken kwasu-kwasu; it was a standout dish that I’ll definitely be ordering again on our next visit. The game drive was phenomenal. Our guide, Steven, was simply exceptional—his passion and knowledge made the experience unforgettable. He took us on an incredible tour of the park where we had up-close encounters with zebras, wildebeest, and impalas. We also explored the beautiful Bvumbwe Lake and even danced by the water—it was a moment to remember. These memories will stay with us for a lifetime. Thank you, Game Haven, for a truly timeless adventure!

We saw everything we needed to see in our daughter's eyes ☺️, the excitement seeing the animals, the playground, we were glad we brought her along this time around and I really loved the warmth of the staff, my only issue was the food other than that it's worth it 👌

My sisters, daughter and I spent the Easter weekend at Game Haven. We had a great time taking in the stunning landscape and local fauna. The Nyala suites that we reserved had lovely room features and cosy beds. The personnel was professional and amiable. We enjoyed the breakfast and dinner the entire time we were there. Yamikani was one of the main waiters who attended to our table on both evenings and provided excellent customer service. Along with being on time and smiling, he made sure to check on us. We had the best game drive because our driver, Steve, laughed heartily while we were travelling and gave us enough time to take pictures of the lovely moments.

We had an amazing time at Game Haven Lodge. Its a beautiful, family friendly place with lots of space and activities for kids. We enjoyed the Game drive, the fishing and the playground space in general. It was too cold to swim but will definetely go again in summer. The staff were very welcoming, the food was great and the rooms neat and comfortable.

Our Valentine's stay at Game Haven Lodges was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a serene atmosphere that set the perfect tone for a romantic getaway. The lodge itself is a hidden gem, nestled in breathtaking natural surroundings. Our room was beautifully designed, offering comfort, elegance, and a stunning view of the lush landscape. The attention to detail, from the cozy ambiance to the impeccable cleanliness, made our stay incredibly special. The dining experience was exceptional! We indulged in a delicious Valentine's dinner, with every dish thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable evening, making us feel truly valued. Beyond the romantic setting, we enjoyed the activities offered—relaxing walks, wildlife sightings, and simply unwinding in the peaceful environment. Game Haven Lodges perfectly blends luxury with nature, making it an ideal escape for couples. We left feeling rejuvenated and with wonderful memories to cherish. If you're looking for a tranquil and romantic retreat, Game Haven Lodges is the place to be! Highly recommended!

We liked the rooms are spacious, the food was good and enough. The game drive was quite amazing but We thought you could increase the number of animal species including the elephants as well. Otherwise, it was wonderful experience and professional customer care

It was a nice experience the game drive , animals and rooms mix the staff , so friendly. Just improve on having small fridges in the rooms and the surrounding improve on gardening. Not forgetting your meals are also on the higher score, review the prices. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and the visit was quite amazing. Hope to visit you soon. Thank you.
