Honeyguide Tented Safari Camps consist of two camps South Africa's Manyeleti Game Reserve, namely Mantobeni Camp and Khoka Moya Camp. I visited Honeyguide's Khoka Moya recently for two days to make this video, which basically shows you what you can expect from their lovely camp and on game drive in the north of Manyeleti.
Khoka Moya Camp consists of 15 large and luxurious safari tents with massive beds and bathrooms, as well as a stunning view over the surrounding bushveld. The camp is unfenced and also has a swimming pool and spa. The open communal area has a bar, lounge, fire pit and dining area where you'll eat delicious food non-stop throughout the day when you're not on game drive...
The area surrounding Khoka Moya Camp is extremely good for game viewing and visitors have an excellent chance of seeing the Big Five: lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant, as well as cheetahs, which like the natural open areas in the northern tip of the Manyeleti Game Reserve.

Oh my word - the stunning clip of the lioness with her cubbies - melted my heart.
You have an amazing eye when making these videos, the light on the animals - fur you could really see the beautiful colours
Thank you
Marianne NZ
The pleasure is all mine, Marianne!
Love the bird calls in the background. Great video. Thanks for sharing the bushveld with us far afield and missing it.
Legend 🙌 i like your channel and how you explain the erea in you are
Greetings from Somalia 🇸🇴
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thank you for wonderful views of South African wildlife .What a beautiful area to visit and seeing g leopard Thank you regards Fiona Clarke
Villiers, thanks for sharing your amazing experience at Khoka Moya Camp. Can't wait to get over to South Africa.
Thanks Quentin! Khoka Moya is lovely and sightings were out of this world! Africa await!!
So happy to see this video. We have a booking at Mantobeni in September but believe it's been switched to Khoka Moya due to covid. Hoping to see the Mbiris. Grow strong cubbies. That area of the Manyeleti is stunning. Thank you!
Jane, you’re going to love it ar Khoka Moya! 😍
Cannot wait to travel to SA again.
Hopefully soon!
Although not a fan of the covered vehicles have booked three nights at mantobeni for three nights end of august. The location of the camp , being unfenced and the possibility of visiting elephants to the pool swung it for me. Also seems an ideal place to find cheetah which have never seen in the greater Kruger. An excellent review as always and your videos take us back to Africa until we revisit .
Enjoy!!!
Sorry but mantobeni my worst safari experience in Africa, great location and staff but the worst guide rangers you could ever have 15 hours in a covered vehicle 5 mins of lion 5 mins of rhino and saw same leopard twice. Worst when a cheetah sighting got radio in didn't even take us to see them . Never again.

Thank you for the honest review. I absolutely agree about the covered vehicles… Arrrhhhh
I may try Pungwe camp in the southern reaches of Manyeleti or Tintswalo
However I keep returning to Mala Mala. Not cheap but superb location
Great video! Inspired to travel here and would love to photograph it all!
Hopefully one day, Droolius
Loved this video. Well done!!
Thanks, Robert
Another awesome video, definitely keen on visiting the Manyeleti!
Thanks Michael. You guys really would love it there!
Awesome stuff Villiers. 🥂👍
Beautiful sightings! I love the lioness and cubs! 💕🦁💕
Thanks Katherine! They were adorable! :)
Wonderful video. Thank you. ❤🎉 Ms. Wong
Took your wildlife photography course! Loved it! Part 2?!
Thanks for the feedback, Dhruv. I really should make a follow-up, shouldn't I? 🤔
@@TheSafariExpert Yes, you really should!
Great video Villiers
What are your thoughts on Mantobeni Camp. Keep up the amazing work 👍
Thanks Liam. I’ve only seen it before it was rebuilt late last year, so I can’t really say…but I’m sure it’s just as great as Khoka Moya!
Another awesome video. Is this reserve expensive?
Excellent vid Villiers! Need to visit!
Thanks Mark! You'll LOVE Manyeleti!!!
Fantastic!!!!
Thanks Callum.
Epic video thanks for sharing!
What camera do you use to get such beautiful video footage of wildlife?
Thanks so much, Ed! I use a Canon 5D mkIV with a 100-400mm zoom lens, a Canon XA50 camcorder and my iPhone 12Pro.
Great video! Thanks a lot for all the information! Has anyone (recently) been at Mantobeni? Are the game drives (guides and vehicles) really as bad as stated further below by r cooksley? I am thinking about going there beginning of May 2023. We are thinking of either going to to Mantobeni for 2 nights or to Savanna Game Lodge or Umkumbe Safari Lodge (= both in Sabi Sands) for 2 nights or simply skipping these private reserves and just going to Kruger for 2 more nights than actually intended (i.e. after 2 nights at Shingwedzi and 2 nights at Mopani we would spend 3 instead of 2 nights at Satara and 3 instead of 2 nights at Skukuza). What are your opinions about that? If we choose to visit a private reserve or a private lodge which of the ones mentioned above would you recommend? We are experienced self drivers and we already know all the mentioned camps in Kruger. Thanks a lot for your advice! We highly appreciate!
Are most of these sightings within a private concession or can they be accessed by public road?
Imraan, it depends. Some days Manyeleti's public roads produce amazing sightings, and on others, it's quiet. The private concessions are not necessarily more productive, it's just because the lodges can off-road there and because they are in radio contact that sightings seem to be better there.
I come here in october
This does not look like the Khokamoya I use to visit 20 years ago? Did they move location or rebuild at some stage?
Andre, they moved location as far as I know.
@@TheSafariExpert thanks for clarifying that
Is there a problem at these honeyguide camps ? They never responded to any WhatsApp or emails I send!
Not that I'm aware of, R Cooksley. Are you 100% sure your e-mails went through or that you used the right address?
All good am in touch,
Juin 2022 Voyage en Famille
Au vue des messages élogieux sur ce camp sur les réseaux sociaux, avant de partir, j'étais partie en confiance, certain sur que nous allions vivre une expérience unique à Honeyguide... c'est le moins que l'on puisse dire...
Tout d'abord, j'ai réservé 2 nuits sur place dans ce camp
A la base, pour ce voyage de 17 jours , étant seul avec mes jeunes enfants, j'ai opté pour des hébergements 4 et 5 étoiles afin d'éviter les mauvaises surprises...Honeyguide, nous nous en souviendront...
Lors de notre arrivée, nous avons du mettre 2 h pour trouver le camp, tant il est mal indiqué. (Je vous invite à louer un 4X4 ... si l'envie vous venez de reserver dans ce camps.
Nous sommes arrivés tres en retard, apres avoir tournée dans la reserve durant 2 heure...jai du contacté la reception pour qu'il vienne nous chercher, c'est dire....
Pour bien commencé, nous avons du décharger et apporter nos bagages nous-memes sans laide du personnel jusqu'à notre tente . (idem pour de départ)
Nous avions un safari à 15h30 , nous avions seulement 20 mn pour nous préparer, j'ai déposé sous mon oreiller ma sacoche avec tout mon cash, (Le petit coffre fort mis à disposition ne fonctionnant pas) A mon retour , tout mon cash avait ete volé.) Seul l' employé qui venait d'installer les moustiquaires dans notre tente pouvait avoir fait cela, car il y'avait que 3 tentes d'occuper ce jour la, et que nous étions tous en safari au meme moment....
Le manager a peine surpris, ma dit que nous trouverions une solution... il m'a indiqué quil me rembourserait 4'000 Rand... ( à ce jour , toujours pas reçu ) à mon avis il ne s'agit pas d'un cas isolé. Un employé sur place m'a indiqué que cela ete deja arrivé...
Nous avions envie de prendre une douche le soir apres le repas, impossible , pas d'eau chaude, nous avons essayer le matin idem, j'ai demandé a plusieurs reprises que l'on puisse nous aider ou à changer de tente , a 15 heure, voyant qu'il n'arrivez pas à reparer , ils se sont enfin décidé à nous changer de place.
L'eau coule goutes à goutes dans la douche..
Je vous fait grace de la vétusté des robinetteries et autres..,, pas de sèche cheveux, de tout petit lit en 90 , la propreté laisse vraiment à désirer...
Les petits déjeuners ne sont pas du tout acceptable pour ce type de prestation,.
Vous souhaitez un café au bar ? La machine à cafe ne fonctionne jamais,
Il faut aimer dejeuner et diner en communauté et respecter les couchés et levés, sous peine d'etre privé de petit dejeuner qui commence une fois le safari terminé, (vers 10h ) voir meme de safari.
Les heures son militaires c'est pas avant 10 h du matin,
14 h pour le lunch , pas avant
19 heure pour le diner
C'est au son d'un tambours qu'on vous prévient qu'il est l'heure de se présenter devant le buffet ... avant c'est trop top , apres c'est plus l'heure...
Dernier jour, bien entendu, toujours personne pour nous aider a porter les bagages, nous sommes partit.
Pas de wifi dans les tentes, mois qui suis venu dans le cadre aussi professionnel, c'était un peu compliqué, sachant qu'a 19h30 vous devez etre rentré dans votre tente et ne plus en sortir jusqu'au petit matin CEST DANS LE REGLEMENT, UNE FOIS DANS VOTRE TENTE, vous devez y rester, vous avez un malaise ou un probleme, pas de telephone dans la tente pour contacter qui se soit... c'est fou,,
Je déconseille fortement cet établissement,
Ps: je voulais poster une video , malheureusement ce site ne le permet pas, je la posterai sur les avis google et d'autres réseaux sociaux pour celles et ceux qui serait dubitatif…
Wow, cela ressemble à un camp complètement différent de celui que j'ai visité, Richard. Désolé que vous ayez passé un moment aussi difficile.
What gorgeous footage of those hyenas with the back light, that incredible female leopard and of course the little lion cubs ❤️ loved your video! Well done Villiers!
Thanks Tania. We were so lucky to have those amazing sightings...and in such beautiful light in some instances...
