We spent yesterday in Balentines Ox wagon and it was fantatic, very helpfull and friendly service. We welcomed the first spring rain and it was great. You guys will see us again. Saw a lot of healthy game, eland, blesbuck, nyala, sable, zebra. Drove around the 4x4 track. Ive been to many lodges and reserves and this one is well managed.

Had the most amazing and relaxed time here. The campsites are clean, spacious and very safe. Did a drive around the reserve, got lost here and there as I didn't want to use the map but seeing the animals roaming around made the experience worth while. Daniel has the most amazing service as he is easily approachable.

Hidden Gem Alert! Tucked away between Cullinan and Rayton lies Somabula Nature Reserve – a true hidden gem. This may not be for everyone, but if you're looking for a quick getaway close to home, a break from city life, unreliable internet, and the chance to switch off and reconnect with nature, then this is definitely the place for you. We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful quick getaway, which was only 20 minutes from our home. During the day, we were surrounded by the sounds of birds, and at night we fell asleep to the chorus of crickets, cicadas, and what sounded like several species of frogs from the nearby dam. We stayed in the Pumba unit, which is the closest to the dam, and the setting was incredibly relaxing both day and night. The unit was clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Reception stocks basic essentials such as wood, ice, firelighters, and matches. Just remember to bring cash, as the reserve operates off-grid and card facilities won't be available. For those who enjoy being active, there are three well marked hiking trail options ranging from a short scenic walk to a longer hike. Along the routes, you're likely to spot wildlife including zebras, eland, wildebeest, impala, and blesbok. If you're looking for peace, quiet, nature, and a chance to truly switch off, Somabula Nature Reserve is well worth a visit.

Wonderful place. Wagon accommodation needs some maintenance especially electrics and tent flaps

Had a wonderful morning walk .Neat and safe!! Choice of 3, 7, 12km..greeted a beautiful family of Sables along the way..

Took time out to go for a hike. Great selection of trails and not all that strenuous. Great to walk freely with the animals. Saw Zebra, Wildebeest, Impala, Nyala, Kudu, Blesbok and watched some Dung beetles. Had a picnic under the trees at the camp site. Later took a drive through the reserve. Good service from the staff.
