"What a lovely nature reserve around an hour's drive from Joburg. We stayed in the Hadeda camp site which was very private (including our own bathroom and shower), had lots of shade, and had a beautiful view. Thanks to Siyas for the friendly service and to Moses for looking after the camp site. We will be back!"

"Very nice camping site. Each site has it's own Boma. The camp site is very small with limited stands. There are many hiking trails. We also did a sunset game view (in our own vehicle) and saw a number of animals including giraffes and wildebeest."

"As a wildlife artist, I found Somabula an absolutely amazing nature reserve for getting material for paintings. The owners and staff are all welcoming and incredibly helpful. The accommodation is wonderful and I loved every minute spent there, especially the fact that I can get really close to the animals to photograph them. This reserve is an artist's paradise."

"So Far from it all..yet the bush is still so near..just to be able not only to drive but to walk ..close to giraffe and other buck...and several birds species.. in their natural habitat..after a day in the bush..a braai with friends at sunset is a good ending. Unique little 'honeymoon hideaway' in the Voortrekker wagon..adjacent cabin for kitchenette and ablutions."

"Camp terrain was clean and well maintained. Would definitely recommend it for a quick getaway. Giraffes, zebras and other animals were passing by the campsite during the day."

"By far one of the best private game reserves in the vicinity of Pretoria. One can walk in the reserve with giraffes, wildebeests, bucks, etc. They have great accommodation and super professional reserve management. They are open to day visits."

"Beautiful and easy hiking. Lovely scenery. Well maintained. Lots of wildlife to be seen in the distance. And a good braai spot next to the lapa to end the day off beautifully."
