Excellent breakfast and meals in an excellent location

Séjour sous une grande tente bien aménagée avec sanitaire en dur. Un peu isolé dans le bush ce qui nous a permis de profiter des bruits de la nature. Petite piscine commune pour se rafraichir. 2 safaris par jour compris dans le prix. Merci à Patrick, notre guide, pour son dévouement. Petit déjeuner et repas variés et de très bonne qualité.

The breakfast was very good, plenty to choose from, and delicious fresh muffins! Staff were all very friendly. smiling and helpful at all times. In fact all the meals were excellent and the impala steaks exceptional. Our Guide, Philemon , was knowledgeable, and sha5red all sorts of interesting facts with us. We really enjoyed our stay

We felt the chalets were quite far apart, and far to walk.

Portions were very good, really tasty. Soups were exceptionally tasty. We were spoilt with a private dinner and gift basket with fruit and champagne for anniversary. :-) Even in the rain the guides were very happy to drive guests on the game drives. Guides are very knowledgeable. Stunning venue.

The facilities were very good and the staff friendly and helpful. The food was excellent.

The parking area was a few hundred metres from our tent over a sandy pedestrian track and of course when some item was left in the car it meant a walk in heavy sand there and back. The tents could have been arranged around the parking area at lesser distances. The access tracks could have been brick paved. Wheeled suitcases were a complete liability as would a wheelchair have been Since having 4wd was mandatory the pedestrian tracks could have been widened so visitors could park vehicles alongside tents. The park roads were in poor condition and much worse than that in many places. Three hours on a jeep bench, bump bump bump. The guides took care and I have no complaints regarding them.

The staff are great however the game drives were not. If you like bird watching then great if not think about another park. The guide spent more time looking at birds and vegetation than any of the big 5. The vegetation is so thick near to the tracks it is impossible to spot anything ground level. The evening meals were poor but the breakfast was very good.

Leider viel Regen. Dadurch wenige Tiere gesehen, auch weil der Busch zu hoch und dicht bewachsen.

So relaxing, Everything was catered for. We were looked after from beginning to end in all respects.

I found the food portions a little bit small sometimes
