Why Travelers Love Tindlovu Boskombuis
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Fantastic location with great views of mammals while eating food and also enjoying the birds that come so close I had an omelette and it was outstanding. Other orders were also made and everything was delicious We last ate at Olifants in December 2024 and experienced lousy service and we ended up leaving and having 🧀 🫕 at our bungalow. Friends from Germany 🇩🇪 went in September this year and experienced exactly the same - waiting long periods for menus, waiting for wine, you have to keep calling the waiter, the staff take over the small lounge area outside the restaurant and they favour the large 6 and 8 people tables over the couples. My husband complained on Google in January and now, months later, no improvement. Also, the food is totally different in presentation and taste at all 3 Tindlovu restaurants even though the menus are identical. What an amazing experience having breakfast at Tindlovu olifants. The view from the deck is amazing! The atmosphere is so peaceful. The service was amazing from the moment we got there and the food was really good. We can highly recommend their breakfast.
