This place is stunning and spectacular! Put it on your itinerary, we weren’t disappointed! Morning and afternoon game drives were a highlight with the Big 5 showing up for us and getting very close to the jeep. Sunrise sunset and misty mornings added to the intrigue and wonder of this stunning environment. Our driver, Connor and tracker Patric put in 100% to try and locate animals, birds, insects, reptiles and a range of plant life. Their knowledge is broad, deep and interesting. Ask them anything and there’s a good story attached! Lodge staff were attentive, friendly, professional and we always had plenty of food and high quality! You might even get a hyena popping its head into the restaurant only to disappear into the night! Or an elephant at your cabin deck nibbling a tree. Excellent cabins comfy beds pillows and outdoor shower was spot on! Well done Kitara 😊

Last Word Kitara is a truly beautiful place, overlooking a river regularly crossed by elephants and buffalo. It makes a magical backdrop throughout the day. The lodge is decorated with elegance and great attention to detail, creating a refined atmosphere where you immediately feel at home. What made our stay truly special was the incredible welcome and personalised attention from the managers of the hotel, Pierre and Susan. Their passion for hospitality is visible in every interaction. They go far beyond managing the lodge: they share their love for the reserve, the wildlife and every small moment that makes this place unique. They take the time to understand each guest and create tailor-made experiences. Pierre has been our guide during our stay but all of them together with their trackers are outstanding. every safari has been exciting and respectful of nature. We saw the big 5 and many more animals. Combined with excellent food and a wonderful team throughout the lodge, this created a stay we will remember for a very long time.

“Safari at its best!”

My trip to Last Word Kitara exceeded all my expectations. The lodge is located on a river that continued to attract all sorts of animals including Waterbuck, Elephants and African buffalos.

My trip to Last Word Kitara exceeded all my expectations. The lodge is located on a river that continued to attract all sorts of animals including Waterbuck, Elephants and African buffalos. The daily safaris were fantastic and I was surprised at how many animals we saw each day. But it’s the staff that makes the place. They were welcoming and very accommodating. I would recommend going!

Last Word Kitara is an absolute gem of a property. 1 hour 40 mins from the airport is well worth it as this ensures that you are in a very quiet area of the reserve and then have no pressure from other vehicles when you have an amazing sighting all to yourself. The lodge itself is gorgeous with the deck overlooking the river being a highlight for us this time, with elephants coming right up to the rooms (nearly joining me for an outdoor shower at one point). We also sat and watched birds, buffalo and waterbuck from the deck area. Food is fabulous, fresh and beautifully prepared, and the little special touches when you are out on a game drive are lovely. Matty our guide, and Patrick our tracker were fabulous. Matty is very inspirational with his depth of knowledge on all things from stories of the night skies to his passion for the animals (every one is his favourite), conservation and the African bush. They ensured we had the most amazing once in a lifetime sightings of wild dogs and the most beautiful leopard. Even on the last day of his 6 weeks rotation, Matty was full of enthusiasm and humour. The intimate size of the lodge means you get to spend time with the other guides and staff too, as well as chatting to other guests round the campfire or at the bar. A very special place.
