Rukiya Safari Camp

The place is amazing, the safaris really great experience, nice food and the people fenomenal! RECOMMENDED!!

Beautiful lodge, tranquil and full board for most guests so everything was included minus drinks. Enjoyed the experience staying in greater kruger vs paying 10x to stay in the national park but didn't see as many of the big 5 - this is nature though. My only comments hence the no 5 stars were the lack of food options at dinner - only 2 choices per night and the breakfast was very small - in the bush but not very filling as only a couple things. A few small tweaks on the service as well as certain things weren't relayed to us such as having to buy a whole bottle of wine if you just wanted a glass and then issues at checkout saying we hadn't paid despite paying upfront via ******* well over 6 months before arriving. A quick phone call to the owner fixed this but would be cool if they handled that internally first rather than in front of guests.

We are a family of 4, our kids are 19 and 21. We spent 5 nights at Rukiya. Our stay here was the highlight of the entire South Africa trip. The gamedrives are amazing! It’s a complete package of tracking animals, spotting animals and beautiful surroundings. Breakfast during the morning drive, as well as the sunset drinks are divine!! The camp is located at a river where we spotted a hippo and a crocodile. Impala’s also come by. The tents are comfortable, the food is good, the pool is a little chilly but very nice. What we appreciated most about Rukiya is the friendliness of the staff. They made us feel welcome. Also, their love for the animals/nature and their job definitely comes across!!
