Letamo at Qwabi Private Game Reserve by Newmark

Nice 4 star lodge in a small big 5 reserve Very family -child friendly; which is a great advantage if that’s what you are looking for. The lodge could be a lot better, but management seem to be missing small touches; who seem to be non existent! We had issues with our room, where something was tripping the power, which housekeeping were aware of in the morning; assuming issues were resolved, only to call reception after 8.30 at night to say there’s no hot water; only to be told, “oh we are aware of it” and we will move you to another room!! (At almost 9pm with a 2 yr old child!!) Never mind the new room was not turned down, and had a dirty throw on the bed!! The food in general was good, but all served buffet style ; so generally food was warm ,not hot, and often dried out from standing; but food quality in general was good. In general the staff were very friendly and helpful, but management seem to be missing, and overall experience could be so much better with small touches!!

Luxury game lodge. Many more activities besides game drives. The best hotel or resort gym I have ever experienced. Top notch Technogym. Padel court, 2 swimming pools, pool table etc. Very knowledgeable guides. Great food, especially the salads and vegetables were the star of the show. Most food made in-house. Spend some extra money on premium rooms. It is significantly bigger and more luxurious than the deluxe rooms. Great for families and solo adults alike.

The rooms were very clean with attention to detail. Excellent service with the waiters, very welcoming. Variety of food to choose from and very fresh and Tasty. Our Guide April gave us an amazing game drive. Overall, Letamo staff are very friendly and welcoming,

Luxury game reserve. Staff could not be more friendly and helpful. Saw the big 5 on lots of game drive with knowledgeable drivers. Food was very good with lots of choice. I have mobility issues but the staff were excellent in making our staff very enjoyable. The only negative was the large steps into the swimming pool without support.

Letamo is a secret hiedaway in the Waterberg where you have to at least go and visit once in your life! If you can I would suggest once a month. The staff are truly a great example of what service excellence should look like and the food was truly exceptional. The decor was done very tastefully and this lodge is family friendly. I actually went as far as to ask who the interior designer was, that is how impressed I was that this lodge did not look so much like every other in the area. Qwabi is a BIG 5 game reserve, so in saying so, there are many others in or country. What makes Qwabi so different? I have never seen so many animals on every game drive as I did on every drive and this is on a 11 000 hecre property. I believe this is due to the game rangers consistenly /actively patrolling the land to ensure all is well with the animals. I was able to see the Lions mating, witness 3 kills, see the hippo, rhinos, giraffe,wildebess,so many different buck, baboons,zebra,birds and warthog. It is a complete world that we were priveleged to visit for three hours twice a day without disturbing. It was a gret honour. I am completly in love with Qwabi!

We were at Qwabi’s Letamo Lodge for my wife’s birthday and it was just amazing for us as well as the kids! The staff’s attention to detail from the moment we arrived was spectacular, great food, game drives and activities all round, amazing! We’ll be back soon😉🎼
