Babohi at Qwabi Private Game Reserve by Newmark

I have just returned from a 7 night stay with Saga /Titan. What a fabulous stay. Super accomadation, fabulous food , such friendly helpful staff. The safaris were very good , it is a new reserve , they need some more animals and the Elephants need to get habituated to the vehicles . The rooms were very clean . The grounds are beautiful. What a fabulous stay.

I chose Babohi Qwabi Private Game Reserve for a 4-night stay to celebrate my partner's birthday and our anniversary, sharing these special plans well in advance. Sadly, the experience didn’t reflect the high standards advertised. Unprepared Check-in: We arrived expecting a seamless process, but had to chase down basic information. Despite receiving a voucher, no one provided clarity about how our stay would proceed. Room Upgrade Complications: We requested an upgrade upon arrival and were promised a move to a premium room for two nights starting the 3rd night. However, on the anniversary night, we were told the policy allowed only one night. The room we moved to was disappointing: Lacked basic amenities. Was dirty and poorly prepared. The air conditioning rattled, disrupting our rest. The pool was unclean, adding to the frustration. Poorly Managed Birthday Celebration: The birthday surprise was underwhelming. The cake was stale, and housekeeping revealed they were informed of the occasion too late to prepare adequately. This was especially disheartening, given Babohi’s reputation for attention to detail. Final Thoughts: While the location holds great promise, these management failures significantly affected what should have been a memorable occasion. It’s disappointing to feel that the value of this stay did not match the investment, and I hope Babohi can learn from this experience to better honor guest expectations for such special occasions.

The trip started from JNB Airport it is a long drive , I could say 3 to 4 hrs drive . We have a water and snacks break stoppage halfway the sky was clear so as it was winter we just open the window just for fresh air no A/C needed . About 36 Kilometers is a dirt road but very drivable . The nicest part about South African game reserve and park is that in most of the lodge u do not need a game drive to see all this wild animal as u drive to the lodge u are likely to spot two or three wild animals so as usual we spotted Buffalo and so many bucks . The room fantastic the game reserve is just presume will recommend any day .

Wonderful Lodge right in the middle of Limpopo. Nice game drives lots of animals. Nice scenery. Very spacious luxury hotel. Where is a wonderful pool outlook to the animals - super bedding, very attentive staff - a dusty road takes about an hour to get here

Super séjour dans ce lodge de très grande qualité. Ça fait longtemps que je n’avais plus vu de service de la couverture dans un hotel. Les chambres sont belles et très spacieuses. La nourriture est excellente. Dommage que le déjeuner soit servi aussi tard. Bonne surprise à notre arrivée, l’hôtel est quasi en tout inclus, sauf les alcools forts; alors que nous avions pensé réserver en pension complète. Personnel très serviable et aimable dans tous les services. Un grand merci à Shiluva qui a cherché sans relâche les éléphants, même si nous ne les avons pas trouvé 😊
