“From pre-check in the experience with Nyati was absolutely fantastic. Our lunch was ready when we arrived, Nicole and Gidi was professional and welcoming. Our five days at Nyati was filled with great food, excellent game drives with an exceptional guide (Gidi, a true asset to Nyati), his knowledge of the bush was excellent and his sense of humor fantastic! We managed to see 4 of the Big 5 animals. All the hospitality staff was friendly, professional and the service superb, especially from Lizeth, Joseph and Dear (you guys made our trip special). We would definitely be visiting again,” said PJW.
