The stay and accomodation were more than adequate, the views were amazing. The only problem was that we didn't get to see much game on the drive, but again the views were stunning.

Great experience!!
Would love to return in the future. All the staff were amazing and couldn't be more attentive, friendly and helpful. The reserve offers so much and felt it was real value for money with the availabilty of walking trails, mountain biking and drives offered within the reserve.

Ein traumhaftes Fleckchen Erde. Afrika pur. Super Landschaft, tolle Tiere und freundliche Menschen. Bitte unbedingt den 6 Stunden Game-Drive buchen. Man sieht da noch einmal eine ganz andere Landschaft als auf dem 3-Stunden-Drive. Man ist quasi alleine unterwegs und hört außer der Natur nichts mehr. Paradiesisch. Toll ist auch, dass man sich auf der Lodge zu Fuß oder mit dem Rad alleine bewegen kann. Das hatten wir bisher noch nirgends. Wir empfehlen diese Lodge uneingeschränkt weiter!!
