The tents were very comfortable and enjoyed the privacy of beingtucked away in the bushveld.</div><div>Our breakfasts in Caf Zebra and dinners in L'Orange Bleue were delicious - we especially enjoyed the personal connections between the owners/chefsand staff at all times, who went out of their way to make it a memorable stay.</div><div>A big thank you to Martin for all his trips up and down the mountain, taking us on a game drive and for sharing his abundance of knowledge with us.</div><div>Thank you for my birthday present! :) A thoughtful gesture!</div>"

  • "Bush retreat combined with a culinary feast"

    26 August 2014

    "Our stay at Thaba Pitsi was most enjoyable. Stepping into the game viewing vehicle with ranger Martin and driving up the mountain to excellent accommodation transported us into another world - Jacuzzi, pool, day beds, beautiful views from the Zebra Cafe where we had breakfast, walks in the bush - all excellent. But best of all was Marc's wonderful dinners and the lively decor in the L'Orange Bleue restaurant. We'll be back, thanks for a great experience."

  • "Amazing weekend"

    01 February 2011

    "We just spent a great weekend at Thaba Pitsi. We opted for the luxury tent accommodation which was located at the top of the reserve near all the animals. Martin, the game keeper, stayed up here also and he certainly made our weekend. He served fantastic breakfasts at the Zebra Cafe and drove us all around the reserve. He also took us on a game trail on horseback. He is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful and made our weekend. We also enjoyed the food in the restaurant but were disappointed that we didn't get to eat at the top in the Zebra Cafe, as that would have made the experience. Thank you to all the staff who were incredibly friendly and helpful."

  • "Fabulous"

    04 November 2005

    "The reserve was smaller than we had expected but the experience was just what we needed, somewhere quiet and relaxing . Marc , Natatali and Martin could not have been more welcoming and offered great advice and help with arranging sight seeing and trips. The food was fab, I loved the fact that there was no menu as such and marc never ceased to surprise us with his creations . we stayed in a chalet which was beautiful the only thing that i think they could inprove on is tea and coffee making facilities in the chalets and or a small fridge for water and ice . I have raved about my stay and will definately be recommending the lodge to others and hope to go back with my husband in the near future."
