This boutique gem is the perfect safari experience

10.0

Our stay at Fifty Seven Waterberg was an absolute 10 out of 10 from start to finish. The service was incredibly warm and attentive, making us feel completely looked after by the entire team. Our room was stunningly spacious, private, and offered beautiful views of the surrounding bush. Every single meal was beautifully prepared, delicious, and exceeded our culinary expectations.

The property was beautiful, the food amazing and the staff were phenomenal, specially Caleb and William (our game drivers). We were incredibly well looked after as we visited for honeymoon, the team very kindly upgraded us to the honeymoon suite, where we even had elephants come by our pool at night! We didn’t miss a drive and were very fortunate to be surrounded by several other lovely couples. We managed to spot almost all of the big 5 on our trip and Caleb and William, were the best guides and hosts, informing us all about the wildlife and even extending the drives to ensure we saw as much as we could at every opportunity.
