"Honeymoon paradise ♥️"

10.0

This was by far the best hotel we have ever stayed in. The people here try so hard all day long to make every moment of their stay as special as possible that you can't help but be amazed. Super friendly staff, incredibly beautiful location and a wonderful reserve. We really enjoyed the game drives with Shadrack and Dion, they put so much effort and gave everything so that we could see all the animals for as long and as close as possible and shared their immense knowledge with us, we were able to ask as many questions as we wanted. The food and drinks were excellent, there was always a vegetarian alternative and the food locations were super romantic and unexpectedly varied. Patricia was always there for us - she is Pondoro’s good soul. The minibar was always full. The housekeeping put a lot of effort into not only freshening up the room several times a day and keeping everything clean, but also surprising us with attention every day. Everything was perfect all around, from the planning in advance, greeting at reception, coordination to the moment of departure, everything was wonderfully arranged, so a thank you to the organizers. Best time ever!

Worth every penny!

This place is first rate! The lodgings were excellent. The food was the best that we had in 5 stops in Africa. The staff was great, as were the game guides. And along a beautiful view of the Oliphant River, with all sorts of animals seen there!

The room was brilliant and the hot tub overlooking the river was amazing, so nice chilling there in the day. The staff were fantastic, so personable and friendly. The room service was immaculate and they wrote us lovely messages and had lots of little surprises for us as we were on our Honeymoon. All the little touches were incredible, along with the hot water bottles on game drives.

We were sad to leave.
