We absolutely loved our stay at Kubu Lodge! The rooms were spacious, clean, and well organized. The staff was incredibly attentive, kind, and always willing to help. We especially enjoyed the dinners at the boma – so picturesque and characteristic of the safari region – and the food was truly delicious. We also appreciated the activities offered by the lodge, and it was such a thoughtful touch that they prepared and packed our breakfast when we had to leave very early in the morning. The waterhole on the property was delightful too – we got to see impalas, zebras, and monkeys right there. Such a wonderful experience!

This is one amazing place to stay, I traveled there with kids and they had the most amazing experience, learning the Bush and tracks of animals. Then they got a certificate. Most amazing experience.

Kubu Safari Lodge is a very nice place to stay. I loved everything there! Staff was super friendly, meals were delicious, room was clean, comfortable and cozy. It is very close to the airport (about 15 minutes) and everything was managed very well to offer me a very nice time there: Dominic was waiting for me at the airport when I arrived and Clement was there to drop me off when I left. Also everything worked very well to go on a safari and the game drive. Thank you very much Kubu!!!

Everything was fine, staff are nice and friendly. The location is good and so is the service. I would suggest only to consider different foods on the buffet for vegetarian or vegan people. However, the chef is really kind if you ask to cook special dishes

The food was excellent. Staff very helpful hardworking and friendly and available to accommodate your needs. No fridges in the rooms which would be an improvement Water needs filtration as coming out brown. Location remote. Over an hour from the National Park The Safari tour was excellent. Sinead our tour guide was a wealth of information, extremely knowledgeable and friendly , made it special. Good value for money. Real African experience

The stay at Kubu lodge was perfect, the room had all the necessary luxuory. There is no television but you do not need this as the programm is full . The staff is always friendly and supportive. You have to drive some time to be in Kruger but this is no issue. As also Blyde canyon must be seen the Kubu lodge is just in the middle so good positioned.

We spent the weekend at Kubu with family and friends. Such a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Staff are so friendly and attentive. Management go the extra mile to assist. Was so lovely to sit on the balcony and enjoy the solitude, watching birds and having the Nyala walk by.
