Reviews of Honeyguide Tented Safari Camp - Khoka Moya 4 stars

Open borders with the animals

No cement walkways near tents .. dragging luggage was an issue

This is a semi-luxurius camp. Seeing the elephants passing between the tents and drinking from the pool is a life-time experience. Also the private game driving are a whooe different levels than the ones proposed in Kruger. Fully reccomended

For the prices we paid (not cheap!), I would have expected a bit more "luxury". Food was OK, not great.

Very nice glamour experiences. Super friendly staff and good food. Amazing tents.

Great food. Very good staff.

If you want an adventure, this is the place. It isn't luxury but is extremely comfortable and compared to other tented camps you do get good value with all meals included and two game drives a day. The tents are comfortable and you really are in the wilderness. We even saw a rhino as we drove to the camp. The guides are superb, Brilliant lived us to his name and Keke was outstanding. We saw a lion on a kill, two lionesses and a cub and cheetahs. Elephants came to the pool to drink twice. One night we had lions in the camp, so it is worth bearing in mind that this really is wilderness.

My only minor criticism is that I would have liked to have sometimes had a chance to photograph birds on the game drives, but the priority is big game and big cats, so it is understandable.

The food, the tents and the game drives were all excellent. The staff was grate and it was a real luxury experience all around. We saw the full big 5 while visiting!

Location, staff, animals.

The tents were great and the game viewing excellent

The food was average for the price we paid

Loved our stay at Honeyguide! The “Tents” are of good quality, bed very comfortable and bathrooms always had hot water available in the showers. Our safari guide Leyton was excellent and we were able to spot the big 5 within our 3 night stay! Elephants came to the pool for a drink each day which was a highlight of our stay!

It was in Kruger but private reserve so we were able to get up and fairly close with animals. Plus we did the drives in morning and afternoon/evening rather than spending all day on a safari in the national park part of Kruger. Which means you're out during the high heat of mid day and none of the animals are out so feels like a waste of time and is boring. Wildlife walked right through the camp. They took good safety precautions. The guide made sure everyone on the vehicle got a good view. We saw lots of wildlife and 4 of the Big 5. Not that we were driven by that, it's beautiful just driving around. The food was delicious and plentiful. Alcohol was available at the bar and staff were friendly and helpful. We had a standard hire car and were able to manage the terrain reasonably well.

We could have done with warm blankets for the early mornings and evening drives. It's very cold before and after sunrise.

Staff are amazing people and very friendly

This hidden gem provides an unforgettable escape in a stunning natural setting, surrounded by vibrant greenery and soothing wildlife sounds. Guests can experience the thrill of watching majestic elephants passing by near their tents, or watch them drinking by the pools and enjoy exciting game drives with knowledgeable trackers and attentive lodge staff. It promises to create lasting memories.

Fantastic game drives, seen so much wildlife on 6 drives in total (3 nights)! Beautiful and comfortable tents and lots of food.

Full service. Good vibe like camping and you get to meet new friends. Food was delicious. The tent was big and convenient enough. Game drive was cool and can see lots of animals.

No phone signal in that area. Need Wifi, but it was slow.

What an amazing experience if you want to see the magnificent 7!!!!, in just 3 short days. We had 5 game drives, and our guide DEVANCE, was the best. He answered all our questions and did his utmost best to ensure we have the best African Experience posdible. Our American guests had a 5 star South African experience. We were treated to an amazing Boma-open cooked dinner which included traditional South African food. The staff was amazingly friendly and the food was fresh, great variety and very well prepared. What a treat for even us being South African. The accommodation was great as well and every single expectation we had was exceeded.

Nothing

Lovely tented accomodation in prime area for game viewing. Relaxing environment. Staff is amazing, our guide was knowledgeable and went an extra mile

Nothing

We really loved this holiday. Our guide Brilliant lived up to his name. We would recommend this to anyone wanting to experience an African safari. They organised a transfer from the airport for us which we paid for at the end of our trip at reception.

I would avoid this if you have a dodgy back as a lot of the safaris were off road, but we loved it.

Location and accommodation were good and staff were friendly and helpful.

Not much attention to detail and food choices were limited and very average. We had visited a few years ago and had returned as a result of the great viewing experiences we’d had last time which sadly didn’t happen this time. Previous rangers were far more skilled and the game drives were rushed and uncomfortable.

Great staff, yummy food, elephant drank water from the pool! Lots of space in the tent and impressed that the water was hot, no problems with electricity etc. and saw big 5 on the game drive! Shout out to Devance who used so much skill to find the rhinos and leopards

Overall really good. Just a little further to get to from Joburg which isn’t their fault

Loved the lack of fences where animals were free to roam through the area. Food was nice.

Great location in Manyleti Reserve

Absolutely loved our stay at Honeyguide Tented Safari Camp – Khoka Moya! From start to finish, everything was just perfect. The location is incredible—right on the riverbank in the Manyeleti Game Reserve, with amazing views and the thrill of seeing wildlife wandering freely around the camp. Our tent was spacious, super comfortable, and beautifully decorated, with a private deck where we could just sit and soak in the peaceful bush surroundings. The staff were simply wonderful—so warm, friendly, and attentive. They made us feel right at home and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. And the food? Honestly some of the best I’ve ever had on safari. Every meal was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented, with plenty of options to suit all tastes. The game drives were unforgettable. Our ranger was knowledgeable and passionate, helping us spot the Big Five and so many other amazing animals. Plus, the camp itself has such a relaxed, welcoming vibe. We even enjoyed the pool area where elephants came down to drink—such a special experience! All in all, Khoka Moya felt like a perfect mix of adventure, comfort, and genuine African wilderness. I can’t recommend it enough if you want a truly memorable safari. It was hands down one of the best trips I’ve ever had—10 stars from me!
