Positive: The whole experience was amazing. The property had 3 bedrooms and 3 en suite baths. It was tastefully decorated and very clean. It always smelled nice and the staff did a fantastic job maintaining it. How much better could it get then a property that while you're lounging on the deck has giraffes walk right over! Game drives were including and we got to see all big 5!
Negative: There was nothing I didn't like
Summary: Bucket list trip met all expectations

Positive: Attention to detail, personalised service, incredible wildlife and amazing staff make this a wonderful place to stay and experience.
Negative: It's hard to imagine this as a problem, but we actually had too much food provided for us; there were times that it felt really difficult to get through everything that was being provided to us. It was terrific, but sometimes just too much!
Summary: Attention to detail, personalised service, incredible wildlife and amazing staff.

Positive: This property was immaculate in all aspects. The villa was beautiful and functional but the staff is what really put Ukanyi over the top! we cant thank them enough for making our trip so special. I booked this trip for my parents (in their 60s) as their Christmas gift and traveled with my boyfriend (28) as well. We all have different interests/activity levels / food preferences and we ALL could not say a bad thing. The food was INCREDIBLE, the game drives were out of this world (saw the big 5 plus cheetah, lion cubs and even a goat!). staying in the bush was just truly something special. The staff even had a special birthday breakfast performance for my dad and other birthday guests at the main lodge which was awesome. When we do return we will most definitely be staying at Ukanyi again.
Negative: That we had to leave!!!!
Summary: Ukanyi was a one of a kind place and I will be forever grateful for our stay there

Positive: This place is paradise. There is nothing one could want for. They take care of you, and its truly the most relaxing place I have been to in South Africa. The Villa is perfectly situated in the bush, with a watering hole to observe animals, a beautiful boma and luxury rooms. The Team is super helpful and exceptionally friendly. The food is out of this world. Truly a gem in South Africa.
Negative: There is nothing the Hosts didnt think of. Everything is perfect.
Summary: A diamond of the bushveld: Relax and observe nature in your own oasis of luxury

Positive: We loved everything about Ukanyi Luxury Villa. Great atmosphere! Wonderful people - Chef Rems, Thuli and our guide Never. They all went an extra mile to make sure we had the BEST experience and we enjoyed to the fullest. The rooms are so clean, even the wardrobe smell so fresh. The food was delicious, and what is nice you have your own Chef preparing your fresh scrumptious meals. The place is great for a small group of family x 6 - you bond at the Villa and even on the daily morning/afternoon drives, you have your allocated guide looking after you. And YES, we saw the Big 5 at close range, a family of Lions was the highlight of the day! Ukanyi Luxury Villa is definitely a bucket list tick for everyone! Definition of Luxury and Wildlife experience in one.
Summary: Fantasticillious!!!

Positive: Great service starts right from the moment you walk in. The butler greeted us at the door with drinks, which was just wonderful. Be ready for surprises at any moment here! The three days we spent here are truly memorable! Let's talk about the villa itself first. The facilities are very complete. The name Ukannyi comes from a Marula tree next to our house, which drops fruits onto the floor every day, making a fascinating sound! Get used to living with local wildlife. One day, we encountered a family of warthogs coming to graze. They stayed in our front and back yards for a long time while we were reading and swimming, and they were leisurely grazing. Giraffes also came near our house; I was really looking forward to a giraffe poking its head into our outdoor shower, haha! The villa has a large beautiful living room, dining room, and kitchen. A chef comes to our room to cook three meals a day for us. Sometimes we eat inside, sometimes outside, and every meal is different and very delicious. On the last evening, to bid us farewell, the butler dressed in beautiful local attire, giving us a huge surprise. Be ready for surprises at any moment here, but I won't spoil too much! The room has 3 bedrooms, each large and comfortable, and we slept very well. There is also a swimming pool, which the 2 children especially liked to play and swim in. The twice-daily safari activities are the most exciting part. Although it takes 3 hours each morning and evening to look for animals, we were not tired at all. Apart from the leopard, we saw all of the Big Five multiple times, and as a consolation, we were very fortunate to see cheetahs. The feeling of returning to nature is just too wonderful! I'm really looking forward to coming back! Many thanks to our butler, trackers,guides, chefs, and all the staff for bringing us such wonderful memories!
