    Entabeni is located within the UNESCO World Heritage Waterberg Biosphere in Limpopo, South Africa and offers stunning views and a Big Five safari experience. This was an amazing game drive experience. The scenery alone is amazing, but the animals make it magical. The guide we had was very knowledgeable and friendly. They also provided snacks and drinks along the way

    My wife and I came here on our honeymoon and stayed in the Wildside camp. It was clean, comfortable and honestly perfect. Our guide Kamo was extremely knowledgeable and expertly tracked the animals, telling us loads about them. Would definitely recommend!
