BABOHI at QWABI Private Game Reserve by Newmark

An incredible place. The setting, the game drives, the food, the room, the staff - all 10 out of 10.

Absolutely incredible place and cannot recommend it enough. The price may seem a little high initially but EVERYTHING was included: meals, drinks, game drives, and even the spa, so absolutely worth it. The thought and care provided by the staff is second to none.

Arrival welcome After a 3.5hr drive from Jberg with mostly highway but around 30km of dirt track we arrived at Letamo initially, the sister lodge. Make sure to book with a reputable transfer company as the dirt track is a challenging drive. After a beer in the bar at Letamo our dedicated ranger Sam picked us up in the land cruiser and took us over to Babohi, it was quite a nice touch to get a transfer over to Babohi with our guide and become acquainted. We knew straight away we were in great hands with Sam from the outset! Once we arrived at Babohi, a ceremonial hand wash and welcome drink during a relaxed check in. Room We stayed in a 'premium room' which was immaculately furnished, a lovely plunge pool, bath tub, and two showers; inside and outside. A welcome drink of African rum and ginger ale in the room was a nice touch. The room enjoyed lovely views in which we could see baboons and an array of bird life. Golf buggies would escort you from your lodge to the main reception. Another lovely and convenient touch was that laundry was included! Wish we knew beforehand as we over packed. Food An exceptional pastry chef who makes the best blueberry muffins I've ever tried! Favourite meals were lamb chops and the springbok shank. Standard drinks were also included with the full board package. 4 meals a day, pre game drive breakfast, brunch, high tea and dinner. Overall Fantastic game drives with plenty to see! A remarkable high end Safari Lodge!

It is an amazing luxury experience. All the staff are great. They will do their absolute best to make sure you have a memorable experience. The reserve is huge, full of animals, including all the big five. The game drives are a joy, with guides that will become your friend. One of the best features of this place is the location at a hill facing a valley surround by hills, the views are breathtaking.

Amazing
