Bona Bona was a nice break in the middle of the week. Although it was a business trip, it felt like a vacation. The restaurant overlooks a watering hole and you can just relax and watch the animals come to drink water. The food was amazing. The restaurant's prices are also very reasonable.

All that was bad at the time; we booked a Predators Drive in the morning for the afternoon, half past five, but the vehicle never arrived. We waited an hour and subsequently canceled our excursion. The children were quite upset, because they wanted to go and see the lions.

Nice rooms, POOR reception.
Very nice location and neat setup. Flew in and tried several times to call all the numbers on their website, sent emails and got no response. Upon receipt, they first wanted to see my proof of payment and immediately sent it through and went to wait in the restaurant. 3 hours later I went again to find out if the e-mail had come through. Still there was nothing. The receptionist then said that they had been struggling with their epos for a long time. In the end they saw the email I sent. Couldn't check in a minute before 2pm. Was pointed in the direction where the room is (which is 400m away) and had to walk there with luggage. Room was not clearly marked and we tried to open some doors with our key. A gardener then came by and showed us where our room was. Could never get it myself. As luck would have it, they were building next door and it was making a lot of noise. It was a Monday evening and the lodge was dead silent. They really could have given us another room and just made a little effort. We were there from 10 o'clock and asked if we could perhaps check in a little earlier because we had flown in and had no other transport at the lodge. Also requested this by email before we arrived. Then wanted to go swimming to cool off but the pool was dirty and the rubbish bin next to the pool overflowed. The rest of the staff were extremely friendly. I will only make a plan with the little faces you see first when you get there, because they make you not enjoy it.

Overnight stop between Gauteng and Cape.
Incredibly beautiful and stylish rooms and infrastructure. The children's play area, restaurant with observation deck and swimming pool are special and new. The cleanliness of the lodge does lack focus. Drink and water bottles are around the pool and restaurant area. Our room's floor was not washed - with coffee marks on the floor and our towel had brown marks on it. This was all reported and was quickly fixed. Game drives are well priced. Can suggest this as an alternative to self-catering if traveling between Gauteng and Cape.

We booked the Honeymoon Suite for one night only. The Honeymoon Suite does not have a view. The room and bathroom are very nice and clean. There is a small deck outside with two sun loungers. This deck and chairs were full of leaves and not swept. That's the only negative thing we experienced. The game drive and predator viewing were very nice and you see everything very close. The rhinos ate right next to us as we drank sundowners and ate dinner. Was a very nice experience.

Nice if you are one for luxury tourism, but not for nature lovers of the Kruger National Park type.
The meals and view at the restaurant were a highlight and the accommodation neat. We did experience the nature experience as commercialized. One can only enjoy the field and the animals up close by going on one of Bona Bona's game drives or by going to see the lions and predators in their camps - all this, of course, for a fee. It was sad for me to see the lions (and other predators) living in garden-sized camps. I would like to know from Bona Bona if there is any prospect of them being moved to larger areas (such as the camps in which the sables are kept for example)?

Bona Bona Game Lodge 's response
Goeie dag Esmari. En baie dankie vir jou terugvoer.
Ons wil wel noem dat ons onsself nooit adverteer as die wildtuin tipe bestemming nie. Ons adverteer glad nie dat gaste hul eie wildsritte kan onderneem nie, dus was u nie onder 'n vals indruk geplaas voor u Bona Bona besoek het nie.
Ons kan nie die wildsritte gratis doen nie daar is baie onkostes verbonde daaraan om so 'n plek te onderhou. En ek verwys spesifiek na die wilds afdeling; drade, personeël, krippe, dieresorg, veaarts en ander mediese kostes voer, infrastruktuur ens. Daarom moet ons vir gaste 'n fooi vra wanneer hulle die wild wil besigtig.
Die leeus, tiere ens se kampe se groottes word bepaal deur natuurbewaring. Ons kampe is inteendeel groter as die voorgeskrewe mates soos ontvang vanaf natuurbewaring. Hierdie diere word versorg met die grootste liefde en aandag, waar ons hulle gesondheid ook kan monitor en veaartseny dienste laat kom indien benodig.
Ongelukkig in 2019 is dit net nie oral in SA moontlik om wilde leeus, tiere, hiennas, luiperds, jagluiperds vry te laat rondloop nie. Dit is 'n heel ander benadering as 'n reservaat so iets wil implementeer, waarvoor ons admirasie het. Ons voel steeds dat Bona Bona wel 'n bestemming is vir natuurliefhebbers. Aangesien die Kruger wildtuin nie in almal se begroting pas of maklik bereikbaar is nie kan gaste steeds nader aan die huis 'n tikkie natuur beleef vir 'n fraksie van die prys. En dit is ons voorreg om dit aan gaste te bied.
Bona Bona Game Breeders is alom bekend in die industrie en het al toekennings ontvang vir Groen toerisme. Dit is die Ernst-familie se prioriteit om nauurbewaring te bevorder 'n projek waaraan ons al meer as 20 jaar werk en investeer.
Indien u enige verdere navrae het kan u gerus vir ons 'n epos stuur.

Beautiful place, just a shame about the feature.
I booked for my wife and my 12 year old daughter to go and relax a bit alone. Unfortunately, some municipality offered a workshop all week and they had to spend the early evening in their small room without a television. I would have appreciated it very much if Bona Bona had required that the municipality in question had to book out the entire lodge as apparently only a few rooms were not used by them, or that Bona Bona had at least informed me of the function.

Disappointed.
The dishes were not properly cleaned. The breadboard still had some of the previous guests' cheese. Cigarette stubs were lying around at the outside table and braai area. Around the chalet is a corrugated iron (a danger to humans and animals), pieces of building waste and concrete. Not something you want to see if you want to be in nature. And it doesn't fit a 4 star rated Lodge.

Peaceful and absolutely fantastic!
We booked 3 rooms for the evening, on arrival we were greeted and shown our rooms, one room's door had a problem and they moved us straight away with no problems. We were in an executive room number one, everything in the room was fine, would only suggest upgrading the aircons and getting the ceiling fans to work, but nevertheless it was very nice. We went to have dinner in the restaurant, we sat for 2 hours and 5 rhinos ate right under our table, it was a special experience. The waiters and especially the manager were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. Food is excellent! In the morning the goat grazes right next to your porch, it was delicious. We will be back again.

We enjoyed the weekend very much. The game drives and the predator experience were fantastic. Excellent guide! The family room is a bit small, but you do not spend much time in the room. Will definitely go again!

Good day Henco,
Thank you very much for this feedback. We are so sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience regarding service from staff. We would appreciate if you could let us know who specifically did not treat you well in order for us to address them personally.
We are, however, surprised that you would not recommend us but gave us 5 stars for all the other categories - we thank you for this. As service is something that can be addressed, which we will, once we know which area it was (Spa / office / game drives / restaurant).
Have a good day!

The accommodation, food and service was excellent.
A proudly South Africa product! Will recommend anytime. Only issue I have is the tiger kept in a small cage close to reception We were very upset by the size of the cage and the fact that no water was available. There were two steel bowls in the cage but both were turned over. We love animals and this really upset me.

Goeie dag Annetjie! Baie dankie vir julle terugvoer ons waardeer dit.
Rakende Zara - vanselfsprekend is ons ook baie lief vir diere. Zara is met die hand grootgemaak en daarom kon ons jaar ten minste 2 keer per dag uitlaat saam met ons wildbewaarder. Vir veiligheidsredes kan ons haar nie uitlaat wanneer gaste in die nabye omtrek is nie. Sy word geskuif op die 8ste Julie na haar nuwe kamp (ons was net besig met die voorbereiding volgense Natuurbewaring se voorskrifte). Ons waardeer u omgee vir ons diere! Maar moenie bekommerd wees nie - hulle welstand is ons eerste prioriteit!

Lovely place, but no privacy.
The staff was very friendly and the lounge is lovely. I'm just refer tot the place where we slept - stables. Nothing was done to reduce the noise of the neighbouring rooms. You hear every word, you even hear your neighbours going to the toilet and what they do in there. No privacy at all. Unfortunately we ended up next to people who started talking at 04:00 in the morning (normal volume), but it woke us up. The neighbours on the other side was a very in love couple who made us a bit uncomfortable with their sounds. Bona Bona should do something to improve the privacy, soundproofing. I won't pay R1000 again for this kind of uncomfortable accommodation!

Goeie dag Niekie, baie dankie dat jy die tyd geneem het om te reflekteer op julle tyd by ons.
Ons het die Stalle kamers bygevoeg tot ons kamers in November 2015. Ongelukkig is die kamers teenaan mekaar - daarom sal mens maar geluide van jou bure langsaan hoor. Ons verseker u dat ons al die nodige beplanning ingesit het in die bou van hierdie kamers. Aangesien dit deur ons eienaar, Mnr Pieter Ernst Snr, siviele ingenieur, ontwerp en gebou is. Maar ons sal u aanbevelings ter harte neem en ondersoek instel waarom dit vir gaste ongerief veroorsaak. Baie dankie dat u by ons gekuier het, ons hoop ons sien julle gou weer.

Silence in nature.
We have been to Bona before and it exceeded our wildest expectations. Everything was perfect. On our arrival this time there was a bit of chaos at reception due to the computer system that gave in. It remains a very beautiful place, clean and tidy and you can certainly be peaceful in nature. If you want to rest, you will definitely be able to relax here.

Expect a little more from this 4-star accommodation.
The stay was pleasant, but for a 4 star establishment I expected more. Self-catering units do not even have small bags of tea, coffee or milk that are usually found in any sleeping unit. The security gate that provides entrance to accommodation was broken which provided an opportunity for any person to gain access. Inside the camp there are no indications of how to drive to the self-catering unit. Would definitely recommend that something be done about this. Enjoyed dinner at the restaurant which on more than one occasion had a shortage of food or drinks on the Menu.

What a pleasant surprise - I was only looking for an overnight stay as it was already late on my business trip - but I will definitely be bringing the family on holiday!
The facilities are excellent. I was not aware that I needed a 4X4 vehicle for accommodation at Bushcamp, but the staff quickly made a plan and moved me to the Hunting Camp. Although it was already late, the staff made sure everything was in order at Jagkamp and even drove patrols there during the night. Very satisfied. Thank you.
