“The perfect glamping experience, with the best food”
+The lodge is the perfect mix of comfort and nature, with the feeling of camping but the comfort of a hotel room, in a beautiful setting. The details make the experience special, down to the baked treats that appear on your pillow every day. Go there hungry because the food served is exceptional!

“A truly special, intimate and unforgettable stay”
+Our weekend at Butjani Lodge was incredibly special and far exceeded our expectations. Being the only guests made the experience feel deeply personal, peaceful, and intimate , a rare and beautiful escape. From the very beginning, everything was well thought out. We were emailed in advance that we call when we were close to the gate so we wouldn’t have to wait. We followed the advice, and sure enough, someone was already there to welcome us on arrival , such a small but meaningful detail that set the tone for the stay. The food was exceptional. Each meal came with a detailed menu programme, all freshly prepared, comforting, and very filling, and clearly made with care. The sundowners in the middle of the reserve were magical, and the game drive , which was included as part of the package , was an unforgettable highlight. We also truly appreciated how welcoming and patient the team was with our very talkative and inquisitive 5 year old. They entertained him with such kindness and never seemed irritated by his curiosity. He ended up seeing them as his friends, which speaks volumes about the warmth of the team. A heartfelt thank you to Melissa and Owen, the wonderful ladies in the kitc
−As gentle and constructive feedback, there were ants on the beds during our stay, which we understand is likely something beyond the lodge’s control given the natural setting. The Wi‑Fi was also quite limited at times, though it did encourage a welcome digital detox. Addressing these small details would make an already incredible experience even better. Thank you to Melissa and the whole team for an experience we will never forget.

“It was good for body and soul”
+Basic paraside, reminding you, you only need good food, a comfy bed, warm shower/bath and good company to be happy. Michelle makes the absolute best meals, all the staff are so welcoming and accommodating, they pay attention to the little details that actually make a difference. It's so peaceful and a definite new location for us to visit again and again
