Unique Touches: Thoughtful details like welcome drinks, hot towels after safaris, and hot water bottles in beds were repeatedly mentioned as highlights. The community dining setup fostered intimate and engaging social interactions among guests.

Great experience, fabulous staff - thank you Kevin, Femke, Conrad, Aiden and all the backroom staff for making our stay so enjoyable. Thoughts of sleeping under canvas brought back memories of windy, rainy nights in Wales - these were quickly dispelled by comfy beds and ensuite bathroom. Really peaceful location by the river, as others have mentioned, a bit of a trek to get to a big 5 park, but around the camp there was an abundance of Giraffe, Impala, Waterbuck making night drives a joy. Special mention to Conrad for sharing his knowledge and years of experiencewith us. Would not hesitate to recommend.

We had a lovely full serviced camp including gamedrives and meals. It was wonderfull! The only critical thing we can think of is the route to the game drives in the Morning. Of took 3/4 of an hour to get to a game reserve where the Big 5 lives. In the winter of can be very cold and windy, with no roof or Windows in the game car.

From start to finish, it was an amazing experience. The location is stunning, the food was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rangers were fantastic, from the morning game drives with breakfast, to the sunset drives with drinks, and the dinners in the evening. everything was perfectly organised. They gave us a truly complete and unforgettable experience.

I was so excited to sleep in a tent! And our bed had a hot water bottle in it every night. OMG! Kevin was a delightful host and the food was delicious We were up every morning at 0500 and saw many animals. Marvin was the best driver/tracker. I really appriciated his insight into his ethnic beliefs

Rukiya is everything you could want in a Safari Camp, COMFY BEDS!, brilliant food, great seevice and spectacular guides. The sound of hippos while you go to sleep in your safari tent. The atmosphere at camp was very calm and quiet. With Nyala sometimes grazing in the grass infront of the pool. It really was heaven. We will definitely be back!
