Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: There’s some warmth to it and understated luxury. We like coming back after each game drive and just relax, while we wait for mealtimes. Feels private, with only 4 rooms /other guests. Overall we had a wonderful experience- the ranger (Marnus) and tracker (Aubrey) gave their best in every game drive, everything was well organised and taken care of, service was excellent, we like the refreshments at sunset in the middle of the drive ;) there was a nice touch to everything. Rooms were very clean and spacious! Food was good too
Negative: I wish there was brewed coffee at breakfast and not out of Nescafe instant packets. I would have liked the rooms to be stocked of water each day. Safe box wasn’t working. Everything else was perfect.
Summary: Lovely stay, with really excellent service

Positive: Beautiful lodge with a swimming pool and bar, nice seating area for lounging. Love the boma dining every night. The rooms are spacious and beautiful, has an outdoor rain shower. Love the sunset bush bar during the evening game drives.
Negative: I did not know that only one of the rooms (room 4) faces the waterhole. There should be freshly brewed coffee for breakfast instead of instant Nescafe coffee We thought there will be a bush walk as part of the stay but was made aware this needs to be communicated on first day of arrival.
Summary: Amazing experience

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the staff at Waterbuck Game Lodge did everything to make our stay unforgettable. The rooms were gorgeous, with everything one could ask for. The drives were unforgettable, and while of course you cannot really plan on what you’re gonna see, everything in the power was done by our guide Matt and his tracker Solly to find the animals we were hoping to see. To see the beautiful Sengile, and to meet the youngest Avoca daughter, her mom, aunt, her dad and two uncles will be something we shall never forget!
Negative: We really loved the food but we missed a bit a variety of vegetables.
Summary: We shall be back sometime

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: the total experience, the rooms, the luxury and the game drives, the ranger and tracker were very nice and good. We have had a very good time.
Negative: Too many drinks were invoiced and also the small drinks which were offered by the house has to be paid, after the game drives you are welcomed with a small drink (shot) but this then turns out afterwards to be a 3 double drink which is charged to your bill). And we drank 8 bacardi cola but ther were 24 invoiced! The female manager keeps trying to sell drinks even when you've thanked for them several times.
