The authentic, off-the-beaten-track iganu experience has attracted returning guests from across the world. Find a vignette of reviews from South Africa, United Kingdom, Australia, Zambia, United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong below.

Paul Burston, former editor of TimeOut London, a long-standing fan of iganu comments:

“Most guests stay for a few days. Some stay for over a month enjoying the home-cooked food, romantic game drives, wide open skies and lashings of South African wine. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the hosts so warm and friendly it’s a wonder the guests left at all.”

“We lazed by the pool, gazed up at the stars, ate like kings (or African queens even) and spent happy hours driving around on quad bikes”

“One of the male giraffes did have suspiciously long eyelashes.”

“Nothing competes with the wide open countryside and it’s natural inhabitants.”

Carmel Armstrong, Hong Kong: “Our second visit and it just keeps getting better. The animals are looking healthy and the animals continue to amaze.”
