Our visit was excellent. Rooms are nice. Dinner and breakfast good. Walk with the lions once in a life time experience.
Staff were knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. The amazing work the centre itself does is mind blowing & amazing. Will make this a regular destination on our visits to south africa
Ukutula is a wonderful experience. The staff are amazing, Mari, Marita and all the staff are so thoughtful and accommodating. Brilliant all round. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing experience! Our chalet was immaculately clean, the staff are friendly and incredibly obliging in every way. Also the tours were incredible. Definitely a must visit!

Staff was great. Very friendly and helpful. Restaurant’s dinner was great both nights. Well worth the price.
Rooms don’t have a lot of cross ventilation or screens so using the aircon was needed. Bed wasn’t the most comfy but that’s low on the importance list.
The chalet was spacious and clean but old.
We enjoyed the activities there.
The office staff was very hard to get in touch with and didn’t communicate well at all.
loved it from start to finish.went on recommendation from friends.you pre book what meals you want in advance all the meals we had were beautifully presented and tasty freshly cooked.the main reason we went was for the lion walk which was a once in a lifetime experience.the place is well run with the animals welbeing at the top of their priorities.the game staff gave great insight into the lives and behaviour of big cats.our cottage was spotless with great quality linens etc.there is facilities for self catering although we did not use them.all the staff were amazing
Pleasantly surprised at the lodge. Service was lovely and staff were friendly and helpful - even organising additional activities for us. Special thank you to Anna who was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. Dinner service was well presented and delicious. Accommodation was clean and well-maintained. Aircon was strong enough to cool the room throughout and bathroom + kitchen were spacious and tidy.
Entièrement satisfaite par mes 2 jours passés à Ukutula
Beau cadre bien entretenu et calme
Très belle piscine
Personnel sympathique qui fait le maximum pour rendre le séjour agréable
Repas proposés copieux et bons mais peu de choix
Il serait bien de changer les meubles dans les lodges qui commencent à avoir de l'âge en particulier les armoires
Uma das snsacoes mais incríveis de minha vida e da minha família. Animais lindos e bem cuidados. Uma reserva que nos deixa a vontade para conhecer tudo que a Africa odefrece. Pessoas hospitaleiras e responsáveis que sabem cuidar de tudo.
