Hi Derrick and Pixie (Boet en Sis)
Just a short thanks for everything that you did for me while I was at "home from home." I really do appreciate that I was made so welcome by yourselves and your staff. You are a true testament of what the hospitality industry should be about.
A special thanks to Rynette for handling all of my bookings etc so efficiently and to Sam and his staff for always being patient even though they had to rise earlier to give me breakfast on cold winter days without ever complaining.
I hope to see you in the new year.
May you have a healthy, blessed and prosperous new year.
regards Fred, Frances and family.
p.s. give Lady a big T-bone medium to well done for Christmas.

Words cannot express how much we enjoyed coming to Tamboti on our days off from Tshepo ya bana. The food was always excellent, the staff always friendly. We especially enjoyed getting to know Sam and we will miss his warm smile! Thank to Derrick for the night game drive and helpful conversations. We feel we have made friends in South Africa and only wish we didn’t live so far away! We will miss all of you at Tamboti and will recall you with such pleasant memories. Thanks so much ?

You and Pixie have a great place here!!!!

Hans & Jolanda Achten – Netherlands – October 16th until December 4th 2010

This was the weekend of our Wedding held at Tamboti Bush Lodge. Great memories!
Just before the ceremony had to start – about 15 minutes – it started to rain!! Wonderful!
The ceremony was moved into the Restaurant area. This was beautiful with all the candles and darkness outside….. On Sunday – late afternoon – our honeymoon suite tent nearly blew away! We picked up towels from the trees and furniture from the bush! Great memories!! Great Adventures!! Derrick, Pixie, Sam, Kelly and all of the other personnel THANK YOU for the most beautiful wedding, most wonderful service and great hospitality! It’s our new home from home!

Anthony & Emsie – Wedding 30/10/2010

By coincidence we ended up at Tamboti Bush Lodge after a long drive from Bethal and desperately in need of a place to stay for 1 night. We ended up staying 5 days in the wonderful Thutlwa suite; enjoying the peace and quiet, the gardens, the friendly talks and the drive for Kudu & Zebra. Thank you for having us! Thank you for lovely and tasty food and excellent service! If you are ever in Denmark please contact us!

Good morning Rynette & Derrick,

Sorry for taking so long but the JHB buzz is hectic!! Just want to thank you for a wonderful weekend, we loved every minute of it and will definitely be coming back.
Tamboti is truly beautiful.

I feel really bad because we left in such a hurry that I completely forgot to give the staff a thank you tip but can you send me their names and I will send them a gift! I remember Sam but I am not sure about the two ladies in the Restaurant. Please thank them for the wonderful service from us and I hope you know how great they are. Kind, helpful staff like them are really hard to find! I have attached some photo’s of the weekend……
THANK YOU once again!!
