The visit to Inyati was very impressive both from the lodge hospitality and the safari excursions. Our wildlife expectations were thoroughly beaten – we saw all the big animals (and its easier to say what we didn’t see – black rhino, cheetah). An experience never to be forgotten. I would recommend the Inyati experience to others.

Inyati really exceeded our expectations, staff were incredible, as was the lodge.

We had stayed previously at Inyati and had such a good time that we were concerned that a further visit might be a mistake. How wrong can you be. Inyati again provided splendid game drives. We saw all the Big 5 and were so lucky to see so many leopards and cubs. The highlight came on the last morning when we tracked a lion for over an hour and then saw him charge a pride to get the carcass of their recently killed zebra.
