Ngiri Safaris and Scuba

We had a beautiful short stay Natasha was an awesome host. The cabin we stayed in was one of the cleanest stays we have had in Dinokeng Game Reserve the past 5 years, the terrain around the cabin was extremely neat and the scenery beautiful. Will definitely be going back future.

Friendly staff, clean and neat.Cosy and comfortable, and a plus side, we saw a pride off lion 2 days in a row.

Best bush lodge we’ve been to! Thank you Tatum for accommodating us!

The place is quite with peace of mind. The Manager she's full of energy and she's always willing to assist in anyway she can. The cabins are well maintained and linen is pure white. I enjoyed my stay there.

Went there for 2 nights on New Years Eve 2016 (30th/31st Dec). Facilities were extremely run down from Swimming pool not being cleaned and slimey to the club room not having tv connected and dirty. After check in we went to our chalets which on the outside looked good. Once inside curtain rails falling off when you walk in and land on your head, electrical cables showing beside the sink and a fridge freezer that barely kept anything cold. Also all the plug points were poorly installed and some hanging off. Shortly after we had an issue with the Gas not working. Gas tank sits very close to the outside water heating (with burning logs). That evening when in bed at nearly 10pm we had a knock on the door from one of the staff trying to sell us a game drive for 6am the next morning. Bare in mind its pitch dark in bush with unknown person knocking at the door. My mother was not pleased as she was in her own separate villa and same happened to her.Then on to New Years Eve when the water stopped working so we were unable to flush toilets or have any running water to wash or drink and it was still not on when we left early the next morning as no point being there. Staff did bring round 2 x 2 litre bottles of water in coke bottles.On check out we were offered a fee night for each chalet we had at anytime and a game drive each. This sounded great at the time but ever since we have tried to book they are always booked up and we get ignorant responses back from them. We had hoped that maybe the place had been fixed up and worth another try as sometimes things do go wrong.Definitely not a place now I would recommend or ever go back to now and owners refusing any sort of refund. BEWARE. We initially gave a good review as we felt sorry for the kids running the place when the owner was away. As even the owner states I would be OK to book even if it took months which it now is and still no availability. I asked for a period of 5 months and never was there availability and was not at the last moment each time.

We highly recommend Ngiri Safaris. Peaceful and quite. Cabins are clean, comfortable and private. With a braai area and a small boma.

It's okay... Firstly, there was poor communication beforehand regarding check in times, code for the gate, etc. We need that info at least a day before or code per sms. The cabins are neat, tidy and clean, but there is no power outside, so kettle/toaster must be brought in and operated from the dresser. Really poor water preassure. At least it was always warm thanks to the friendly man that started the donkie at regular times. We were told to clean the dishes, but there was only a worn out sponge so we tried our best. The braai grill is also really dirty, so bring your own.We came for nature and bushveld and that was fantastic. Took long peaceful walks which were great. What we really liked is the distance between cabins. You are truly on your own. Peace and quiet.All in all... I expected better, but it was not a bad stay. Would I come again? It depends, really. If I cannot find another option, then probably.

A chalet right in the bushveldThe best accommodation we have ever been privileged enough to stay at in Dinokeng. Gorgeous chalet with amazing view of the bushveld, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in. The view from within the Chalet was magnificent with big windows everywhere so you can enjoy nature no matter where in the chalet you are.The room were clean, extremely comfortable, gorgeous bathroom and the kitchen had everything you could need. Down to the smallest details.The accommodation is far apart so you have total privacy.Tatum went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend Ngiri Safaris for anyone visiting Dinokeng.

We booked a Tuesday to Saturday trip to the bush with Ngiri after many calls to Natasha.With a pool in walking distance" to keep our young children entertained and the pictures looked good on the website site so we thought we had a safe bet and a winner for sure!Sadly after checking in we were driven to the unit that was not in walking distance to the pool - that was very green and so not inviting. The gentleman from reception opened the unit and showed us around. At this point it became a silent discussion through eyeball movements alone between my wife and I. I could see my wife was not happy. As the gentleman departed

Highly recommended.I stayed in one of the cottages. These units are excellent. Very private with units widely set appart. Very neat and clean. Donkey boiler is started in the morning and late afternoon.The whole private property is your own to walk around safely. Especially if you are birding enthusiasts .The resident herd of Impala (Incl. 3 x Black Impala) add to the bush feel!Unlike some other reviews. We had no issues with accessing the private service road ( via phone call, WhatsApp mess, as you reach the gate).Tatum opened with remote control.) And at the 2nd gate to Nigiri property the same.Once you book in you are supplied with the Units keys, with a gate remote .I suggest asking which alternative private access road one can use to enter the park. The main municipal dirt road is very corrugated to drive down to the Official Park entrance.5 Stars and definitely will be back.Thank you Nigiri for a wonderful and peaceful trip!
