What a fantastic place to stay. I travelled with my Daughter and friends early April. Thank you to all the staff and especially Wayne who has so much knowledge of the animals. He made sure we saw the big 5. Also loved the boat trip up the Bushman’s River with sunset drinks. Thanks again to everyone who made our stay fabulous.’

Exceptional hotel - room, staff, food, service, views, safari and happy place to be. Thank you for an amazing stay! This was our first safari and we would highly recommend the reserve to anyone :) thanks to our guide Richard who was so fun, knowledgeable and looked after us on the drives and to the restaurant staff and manager who went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed during the visit - including the many exceptional surprises! We will do our best to come back!

Just wow. What an amazing Safari experience this is/was. Staying at Settlers Drift is worth every cent. The experience we had was something we will never forget. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff. Aurelie is amazing and very friendly, and our guide Gladman was so knowledgeable and passionate about the animals. The luxury tents are so cool and views are awesome. Food is delicious and staff very attentive. We saw all the amazing animals and had a special experience with the elephants. We didn’t see the elusive leopard but this was inconsequential. Aurelie and the staff even set up a surprise romantic dinner for myself and my partner - just next level service. I recommend anyone who wants to do a safari to go here!

Stayed here October 23. Can’t speak highly enough of the staff, accommodation, food (they were excellent catering for my Coeliac diet, they had been pre warned) and wine/drinks. Our guide Michael was so knowledgeable and made the safari outings great fun, I am sure other are good too. If you have the opportunity to visit then go. Totally recommended
