Words cannot describe how much we loved staying at Shepherds Tree Lodge. Not just because the rooms (we had a villa) are well designed and very comfortable. Not just because we saw so much amazing wildlife because of guide Peter. Not just because the food is exceptional. Mainly because the staff are incredible, they think of everything before you thought you needed something. They are always checking you are happy but most of all they are lovely people. Thank you to you all.

Amazing staff, food and location / special mention to our Game Driver and Goiti ( not sure if I spelt her name correct) This truly amazing place to stay and especially rooms 31/32 in my opion the villa. And the Game drivers were spectacular/ earlier wake up call 5 am, coffee and pastry 5.30 and set off 6 - 9 wrap up warm it’s cold !!! But the best time. And then repeat in the afternoon 4-7. Final word has to be to our Guide ( Amazing)

The lodges are very clean and tidy and the rooms are lovely. The staff are really friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The game driver was so knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions. We saw 4 of the big 5 animals and lots of babies. Highly recommended, it's a 5 star experience

Having just come back from 4 nights, its clear why they were voted best Game Lodge in Africa 2025. The service levels are outstanding, the staff make whatever you want happen... The food is amazing with each course being picture worthy.

This lodge is high end but what makes it special are the team of people working in the lodge, from the general manager Prenisha to Katlego and Nombolulu, and Chef John, who deserves a Michelin star, and all those behind the scenes, the beautiful African stories that housekeeping left on our beds every evening, and all the kindness, joy and laughter we experienced. We would especially like to say how inspirational Thabo, our Field guide was on our game drives, his expertise and ability to find lions having their breakfast was truly impressive, but even if we hadn't seen a single animal, Thabo is an incredibly special guide, and I will always be grateful to his recommendation of having Amarula in my hot chocolate, tea and coffee. Thank you to everyone, both front facing and behind the scenes for a most delightful experience. My only concern with writing this review is that the next time I try and book, I won't be able to get in because the team and the lodge itself, Shepherds Tree is so very perfect.

From our arrival to our departure we were treated like royalty. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented with a wide variety to choose from. Our game driver was very informative and did his best to ensure we saw so many animals. The rooms were really luxurious and comfortable. Absolutely stunning.
