It was an incredible experience. It is a beautiful house and very tidy with everything you need. The owner is really a caring person who makes sure that her guests are taken care of. I will visit there again for sure. The animals were everywhere, the pool was a highlight. Thank you very much aunty.

Thank you Matebesi for your visit to Karibu River Retreat and Game Lodge and your kind review. The weather is always unpredictable but fortunately, you had a spacious unit with an inside braai. You are always welcome.

Very peaceful if you like silence around you.
We only stayed overnight after a day on the golf course and left early for Sunday's round of golf. Would like to know more about load shedding schedule. Even if it was only via WhatsApp so that you can be prepared if you arrive in the dark of night. The shower head was clogged, only a few thin streams came out. Furthermore, we really enjoyed it. Thank you very much Hilda, your place is neat and clean. Will use your hospitality again. Also already told many people how nice it is there. The giraffes came to greet us early in the morning. It was a privilege to be part of your nature.

Geen sein, geen WiFi.

No signal, no WiFi.
Booked a separate unit, for no reason was moved to another unit that shares a geyser with the next unit (and then has poor supply). Was there for work and there is no signal and no WiFI available, so couldn't get any work done.

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ek waardeer eerlikheid en dit is nodig om te weet.
Ek vra nederig omverskoning. Ek het jou opgegradeer na 'n groter eenheid toe met 'n leefarea om dit vir jou gerieflik te maak.
Beurtkrag veroorsaak dat die gedeelde geyser swak drukking gee want dan werk die drukpomp nie.
Daar is swak sein by die River Retreat want dit is onder by die rivier geleë en dan as daar nog beurtkrag toegepas word, dan het ons nog swakker tot geen sein nie.
Wi-Fi en 'n generator (wat die stilte van die natuur gaan versteur) kan ingesit word, maar dit sal ongelukkig die prys van die akkommodasie ook duurder maak.

Very pleasant, nice and peaceful stay.
Very pleasant cremation, the accommodation, hospitality, cleanliness and affordability of this gem of a place. The friendliness and hospitality of all the people of Karibu was immediately noticeable. That alone made you feel right at home. If you want to be quiet and close to nature, this place is the best. Can't wait for the next time we visit Limpopo again.

It was wonderfully quiet. Just the two of us. Enjoyed the birds by the water and the pool in the heat was a winner.
Thank you Hilda, we really felt at home with you. Very cute place that I can highly recommend. I'm going to take another group to you. Enough facilities such as toilets and showers. Nice and quiet and away from it all if you like it. Hilda, I can only recommend one thing please. There hasn't been a casserole (where we can put the roast beef) in our little house. This is quite something that comes in handy if you like to grill.

I suggest that Karibu River Retreat think about installing air conditioning - otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, quietness, tranquility and the friendliness of Hilda.
