We rested.
This lodge has a 4 star rating but definitely does not deliver 4 star value. They did adjust their prices. They can improve on their cleanliness. The meals were very tasty and the cook and waiter were very accommodating. The bar is absolutely packed. Nevertheless, we rested well.

Hi Gretha,
Thank you for your kind review. I must point out though that the Pangolin Rondavels which you booked are not graded and are our budget option. Only the 6 Shikwari Suites at the main lodge are graded. We hope you will come again and stay in one of our lovely Shikwari Suites.

Gasvry en netjies.
Ons was verras deur die pragtige kamer waarin ons gebly het en die vriendelike personeel. Geen moeite is gespaar om ons verblyf in die Shikwari Wildreservaat een vir die boeke te maak nie. Ons het vir Ann en Ian ontmoet, die eienaars wat ons verwelkom het met 'n drankie en ons na ons kamer gewys het. Die uitsigte is skouspelagtig en die diere loop vry rond. Ons was gelukkig dat ons die grootste Kudubul ooit gesien het! Die kos, wat deur Sue en Unecia voorberei is, was heerlik! Ons was behoorlik bederf en het ons verblyf baie geniet. Noel wou ons nog steeds aan sy beste vriend, 'n manlike sebra (Boytjie), voorstel, maar die tyd was te kort. As jy die beste skons en kos ooit wil hê, sal Sue en Unecia jou nie teleurstel met hul vaardighede nie. Nogmaals baie dankie vir 'n wonderlike naweek. Ons mis julle almal al klaar! Ons beveel Shikwari Game Reserve sterk aan.

To me it was a waste of money.
I only slept there one night or rather tried to sleep. Air-conditioner in our room kept going off. The ceiling fan didn't help much as there is no window in the room to open. Just a sliding door - couldn't open it because you don't know what goes around in the night. It was hot and stuffy and I couldn't sleep. Dinner was late - not until half past eight and then we had to wait for all the other guests before we could start eating. It didn't work for me. They wanted to put us in another room the next day, but there were no windows either. Wouldn't work for me. You are also not allowed to bring your own drinks - must buy from them. I would not recommend the place at all.

Hi Francois,
I am rather surprised by this review. I did try to accommodate you, firstly, in another room when the aircon broke down during the night. You decided that you didn't like the room I had shown you, because it only had sliding doors and no opening windows, so I offered a room with windows. I showed you the room and you said you would think about it.
You also complained that we serve all guest at 7:30 pm, which is the usual time for dinner and wanted dinner at 17:00 in the afternoon due to ill health. Although this was not possible, I offered you a snack to tide you over until dinner, which you refused.

A wonderful long weekend away. Beautiful surroundings and a beautiful lodge.
We can only speak highly of our weekend away at Shikwari Bush Lodge. Beautiful surroundings and beautiful lodge. Comfortable and friendly service. Every meal was a feast and deliciously prepared.

Friendly service, good food and beautiful surroundings.
Friendly service, good food and beautiful surroundings. The rooms are beautiful and well equipped. The lack of keys to the rooms makes us feel uncomfortable as South Africans. The porch area of the lodge was quite dusty when we got there. Although there have been renovations, one expects that it will still be clean if they accept guests.
