Thaba eNtle Private Boutique Game Farm

The staff were extremely friendly, especially Chanel the lady who showed us to the rooms and drove us around the farm. The food from the restaurant took ages to come and when it did arrive the food was cold. The bar did not have enough stock for the large group of people that we were, and ran out of a certain drink which we bought. We also experienced bedbugs in our beds in all four of the rooms that we booked. The hiking trail also was unsafe and needs a rail one of the stairs collapsed underneath one of our group members and they injured themselves really badly as there was no railing, the paths of the hiking trail was also extremely overgrown. I will not be visiting back in a hurry as we paid a large amount for the weekend and left with scars and bedbugs.

We recently realized we never left a review for our stay at Thaba Entle’s Eco Pods almost a year ago, and with our anniversary coming up, we wanted to take a moment to do so. We stayed for two nights, and everything about the experience was incredible. The Eco Pod was beautifully designed—modern, peaceful, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The self-catering setup was great, and the thoughtful extras, like the satin gowns, made it feel even more special. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. We spent time exploring the surroundings and went on a game drive on Saturday evening. Our game ranger was new but very knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience even better. We saw amazing wildlife, and at the end of the drive, we were taken to a breathtaking viewpoint to watch the sunset. It was here, with the most spectacular view, that my now-fiancé proposed. The sunset was a paid actor—it couldn’t have been more perfect. Our guide was so respectful, taking a few photos for us before giving us time to soak it all in. Thaba Entle will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, romantic escape.

Our stay at Thaba eNtle Private Boutique Game Farm was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and excellent service. The game drive was informative and engaging, offering a great chance to learn about the local wildlife in a beautiful setting. The entire experience was incredibly immersive, with breathtaking views. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy nature in a peaceful, private setting.

Stayed at the tended log cabin. Really enjoyed my stay with my partner. The staff is super friendly & accommodated our every need throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a bush experience this is the one for you.

I enjoyed my stay here, everything was amazing. From Salome at the reception, Rudeska who transferred us to our Pod after we checked in. The Game drive was amazing, Rudeska explained everything very well. We also did Quad biking with Chanel, which was very amazing. We loved everything. The accommodation was a 10/10. Tranquility at its best. Definitely going back here.

Starting from the booking was a nightmare, they took more than 5 to respond to both email and WhatsApp(I asked them information at 15:45 and they only responded the following morning at 07:20) and we had to drive to go book physically, no kettle and kettle in the room and the charge extra cost on almost everything including R180 taking you from the main gate to your lodge, R50 per item to iron your clothes. My biggest excitement was checking out after 2 days. I wouldn’t recommend the place to anybody.

What a terrible experience my partner and had. Stay away from this place if you value your hard earned money…this isn’t a place to be. Their customer service was very bad, they’re selling a lie( what you see on social media isn’t what you get) we couldn’t take a shit in peace because worms had a party in our bathroom (See attached photos)

There are few experiences more exhilarating than driving through the African bushveld under the gaze of the orange sun – as you spot wild animals in their natural habitat. Even though the buzzing of human life is so close, you’re experience is galaxies away from the concrete jungle and you are at one with nature. And when this is combined with a LUXURY bush lodge, like Thaba Entle as your home base, then the whole experience can only be incredible. Staff was amazing and so accommodating, catering to our every need. The variety of wild life is absolutely amazing. Over all we had the best experience. A ladies weekend we will never forget.
