迪圖洛野生觀光小屋(Ditholo Game Lodge Bela Bela)

Great management, a personality and feel good stay! The accommodation, activities and food are below average and I wouldn’t recommend the game drive. There is a long unavoidable gravel road leading to the property. Nice views and value for money. Nothing luxurious.

Excellent place to be at in terms pure mind set, i was there last week and i am happy with their service..Bar, Game drive and spur did the deeds forme and my Hubby . i am a happy Soul from Brakpan Chess'"＞

One needs to travel about 15 km by gravel road to reach Ditholo. A high class resort with pretty good facilities when everything works, which unfortunately did not happen during our stay of one day. The incessant power cuts by the electricity company (not the fault of Ditholo at all) was a really debilitating factor. In addition, Ditholo suspends electricity at 21h00. With these electricity problems, I would have expected rudimentary solar electricity, even just to power the lights. Take this into account when planning the meals (and the need for a fridge), due to the electricity being down for a significant part of the day. Also, we had a very limited supply of water due to the power limitations that affected water pumps. No hot water in our room. Internet (of course also affected by electricity supply) facilities not good enough for streaming. If the resort found ways to work around limited electricity, it could be a really attractive venue. Large areas of native vegetation between houses, giving a real feeling of privacy. I hope they do not build all the additional houses they intend, based on the map provided to guests. Based on a per person rate, this lodge is not expensive and has many things going for it, including about 7 km of walking trails in natural vegetation and a restaurant. I really hope they can manage the limitations in order to realise the potential of the place.

My wife and I and our two daughters and “future” son in law decided to celebrate New Year’s Eve at Ditholo Game Lodge. We booked a deluxe suite and a family suite which were spacious, comfortable and clean with en-suite bathrooms with showers. We made good use of the ceiling fans and air-conditioning in the rooms which were very effective. The property is extremely neat and well maintained which is further enhanced by Nyala freely roaming around. The property also has a dam situated nearby to the rooms, and we spent quite some time just relaxing by the dam observing the two resident hippos. During our stay we went on two enjoyable guided game drives and spotted zebra, wildebeest, giraffe and various antelope including certain exotic species. We also thoroughly enjoyed a few of the bush walking trials which are clearly marked. We also made good use of the swimming pool and had good fun playing table tennis, foosball and pool. The staff were friendly and efficient, and we were well cared for throughout our stay. The food was very good, particularly the traditional African Boma Dinner that we had on New Year’s Eve, and the complimentary bottle of sparkling wine that we received was greatly appreciated. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Ditholo and definitely hope to visit again.

Place was terrible left after 2 days of a 6 day booking

I would recommend the lodge for private travel or a vacation but not for business travel. The mobile signal was terrible and the wifi did not reach the room I was in. It would be great if I wanted some alone time without any disturbances as I was unreachable during my time there.

We had the most incredible stayover at this fabulous hotel. The Boma Dinner that this hotel put together was fantastic. So well done given Covid restrictions. We took a peddle boat out onto the lake the next morning to watch the sunrise. We had to leave early so a breakfast basket was prepared for us. A fantastic experience all round. Highly recommended!

Top location, fantastic bed with soft sheets, high quality food and plates like a painting, high customer service level. I can certainly recommend this place to all travellers, and mention as a tip pls book with breakfast and dinner included, you.will enjoy it enormously. I would certainly come back. The environment is animal friendly, they have bush babies, antipopes and even nyalas walking around on the premises. Peaceful and relaxing place, only 60km from Bela Bela (45-50min) drive. Perfect 1st stop to stay and relax for 2 days which we did. We loved it!!! Thanks to the entire staff!

The property and design of individual huts is perfect, the food is also really good. However they should consider having an onsite store with affordable snacks etc considering they are a lil far out from town, additionally the entrance gravel road needs to be attended to. Either tarred or smoothed out, I can only imagine how many vehicles have had really bad damages as a result of driving in or out that road. The billing system is poorly designed and there are additional charges that seem to creep into the final amount due, best to allow guests to pay for meals, activities etc as and when , this also helps with transparency and not the final check-out time hassle of trying to do the accounting. At least 3 other guests were disgruntled by this. facilities are great and upkeep impressive, nonetheless
