Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal, die Unterkunft wurde mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet . Der Service ist top! Eine herrliche Ruhe herrscht dort. Man kann super entspannen! Leider konnte man bei den Game Drives nicht so viel sehen , wie im Krüger Nationalpark selbst , da das Territorium auf dem gefahren wird nicht sehr groß ist. Bei längeren Aufenthalten wird wohl aber ein Tagesauflug in den Krüger angeboten .

sehr tolle Lodge mit super freundlichem Personal, die bei jedem Anliegen helfen. Von der Lodge kann man am daneben liegenden Fluss Wildtiere beobachten. Wir waren 3 Nächte hier und haben mehrere Elefanten, Giraffen, Hippos, Antilopen, Affen und Warzenschweine gesehen. Die Lodge bietet Safaris im Privatreservat mit eigenem, sehr erfahrenen Ranger an. Wir konnten auf 3 Safaris (2x morgens, 1x Abends) Giraffen, Elefanten, Zebras, viele Antilopenarten, einen Schakal und eine Löwenfamilie bestaunen. Achtung: der Weg vom Tor neben der Hauptstraße zur Lodge ist eine holprige,unbfestigte Straße von 13km! Ein SUV ist ein muss.

Excelente estadia

Exceto pelo vexame que passei na hora do checkout (ausência de repasse da expedia dos valores das diárias) a estadia foi excepcional. Excelente localização e funcionários maravilhosos. Recomendo.
