Testimonials

Our safari in the Manyeleti felt incredibly exclusive — no crowds, just pure wilderness. The guiding was exceptional and every sighting felt unhurried and intimate. A truly special experience.

Martin Meyer Safaris arranged everything flawlessly. The lodge was warm and welcoming, and the game drives were packed with unforgettable moments — especially the lion and leopard encounters!

What we loved most about the Manyeleti was the quiet, the space, and the authenticity. Our guide brought the landscape to life with stories, tracking skills, and deep respect for the wildlife. We left inspired.
