Highly Recommended! We enjoyed our stay in Parsons Hilltop especially when all the staff are very attentive and helpful. The room is clean and bed is super comfortable (hotel standard). The food is good and chef will arrange special dietary needs if any. The game drives are fantastic with very informative guide.

Falta de água e agem de má fé

A região é incrível, porém, a estadia foi terrível com 2 dias sem água sequer para escovar os dentes e também ao final da estadia fui cobrado por um serviço que não foi contratado.

Fijne sfeer en goede service

Wat hebben we genoten van safari’s onder begeleiding van Ras en Lars. Wat een toffe gasten met gevoel voor humor en kennis van de natuur. De accommodatie was ruim, schoon en met veel oog voor detail. De gerechten van Patience en de service van Mathilde maakten het tot een super fijn verblijf! De braai met de andere gasten was erg gezellig en goed verzorgd.

Highly recommended

The stay on Parsons was perfect for who wants to get to know the Safari world with much care, attention and in a safe way. We were wonderfully cared by Chris, who took care of everything on our stay. Mirian also was super attentive on every detail. Would come back for sure.
