I could not recommend Tomjachu lodge more! Jack himself made our trip absolutely wonderful, as well as all the fantastic staff on hand whenever we needed them. The lodge itself is in a spectacular setting, I really enjoyed walking around the property, certainly the highlight was getting as close to the giraffe as I did! Thanks for everything can't wait to come back!

The best, most peaceful, and breathtaking piece of Lowveld bush...
"A litte bit of paradise!"
We stayed for 3 nights and wished we could have stayed for longer. We booked the Rock House and everything about it was just perfect. Quality linens and furnishings, spotlessly clean and all the amenities you could wish for.I wish I had a painting of the view from the step, it was just gorgeous and sitting there in the evening by the light of the oil lamps and listening to the bush noises was wonderfully relaxing.Tomjachu is a real gem and we will certainly be back on our next visit to SA.
"A Little Patch of Heaven"
Tomjachu is truly a little patch of heaven. We stayed at Rock House, a happy, happy place, beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable. There are stunning views, peace & quiet it is just another world. It is just wonderful. We felt like we had come home.
