Comfortable and relaxing. Very comfortable, clean and tidy. Beautiful view with trees and a pond. Friendly service. I will use the accommodation again.

Gerieflik en ontspannend. Baie gerieflik, skoon en netjies. Pragtige uitsig met bome en 'n dam. Vriendelike diens. Ek sal weer van die verblyf gebruik maak.

Quiet, safe and special. We booked a smaller unit, but because it was quiet, they were kind enough to give us the big house with the splash pool. We really appreciated it, the giraffes are beautiful, you see them every day at the house. Aunt Hilda is friendly and went out of her way every day to make sure we were still okay and happy. The only downside was the bridge that washes away when it rains a lot, which then prevents you from going to town. It is not in your hands. If you want peace and quiet, the perfect place.

Rustig, veilig en besonders. Ons het 'n kleiner eenheid bespreek, maar omdat dit stil was, was hulle so gaaf om ons die groot huis te gee met die splash pool. Ons het dit baie waardeer, die kameelperde is pragtig, mens sien hulle elke dag sommer by die huis. Tannie Hilda is vriendelik en het elke dag uit haar pad gegaan om seker te maak ons is nog reg en gelukkig. Enigste nadeel was die brug wat verspoel as dit baie reën, wat dan keer dat mens dorp toe kan gaan. Dit is nou wel nie in die mens se hande nie. As mens wil rus en stilte hê, die perfekte plek.

It was an incredible experience. It is a beautiful place in the forest. 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.

Dit was 'n ongelooflike ervaring. Dit is 'n pragtige plekkie in die bos. Dit was 'n ongelooflike ervaring. Dit is 'n pragtige huisie en mooi netjies met alles wat jy nodig het. Die eienaar is regtig 'n omgee mens wat vir seker is dat haar gaste versorg word. Ek sal vir seker weer daar gaan kuier. Die diere was oral te sien, die swembad was 'n hoogtepunt. Baie dankie tannie.

We saw different types of animals and the place was also great. Karibu River Retreat was great because it was raining, but we had our braai on a fireplace.

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.

Dankie Matebesi vir jou besoek aan Karibu River Retreat and Game Lodge en jou vriendelike resensie. Die weer is altyd onvoorspelbaar, maar gelukkig het jy 'n ruim eenheid met 'n binnebraai gehad. Jy is altyd welkom.

Very calm. Relax in silence. Peaceful woodland atmosphere, safe and very friendly people. Will book again soon. Thanks to Hilda and her team.

Baie rustig. Ontspan lekker in stilte. Rustige bosveldatmosfeer, veilig en baie vriendelke mense. Sal weer binnekort bespreking maak. Dankie aan Hilda en haar span.

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.

Baie rustig as jy hou van stilte om jou. Ons het slegs oornag na 'n dag op die golfbaan en vroeg weg vir die Sondag se rondte golf. Sal graag meer wou weet ivm beurtkragskedule. Al was dit net per WhatsApp sodat mens kan voorbereid wees as jy in die donker nag arriveer. Die stortkop was verstop, slegs 'n paar dun straaltjies uitgekom. Verder het ons dit baie geniet. Baie dankie Hilda, jou plekkie is netjies en skoon. Sal weer van jul gasvryheid gebruik maak. Het ook reeds vir baie mense vertel hoe lekker dit daar is. Die kameelperde het ons vroegoggend kom groet. Dis was 'n voorreg om deel van jul natuur te wees.

It was fantastic. Everything was fantastic. From our arrival there to our departure. We were warmly welcomed at the lodge and everyone was so friendly. Very clean and tidy. We want to make this a monthly institution. Thank you very much.

Dit was fantasties. Alles was fantasties. Van ons aankoms daar tot ons uit is. Ons was hartlik verwelkom by die lodge en almal so vriendelik. Baie skoon en netjies. Ons wil dit 'n maandelikse instelling maak. Baie dankie.
