"Exceptional"

10.0

The facilities and food were fantastic - the staff were so friendly and accommodating - nothing was too much for them. We had international guests with us who had never been on a safari or to South Africa before with us, and they were amazed by the entire experience.

"Hemelse plek"

10.0

Het was een fantastisch verblijf, we werden verwend door het personeel, het eten was heerlijk. De lodges zijn heel comfortabel. De sfeer is chic koloniaal. De ranger Marvin was ook geweldig. Kortom heerlijk en helemaal niets aan te merken.

"Incredible visit with good friends at a stunning lodge - a perfect way to end 2024"

10.0

Our stay was a dream! I traveled with 2 of my best friends and we were made to feel so welcome from the minute we arrived. Nothing was too much for the team at the lodge. They all went out of their way to make our stay memorable - from driving around until we saw all of the unbelievable game on our bucket list, to the incredible food - lots of salad options (perfect for new years resolutions), great quality meals and beautifully prepared, to the comfortable rooms and stunning deck and pool. We can't wait to return.

Nothing could have been better -the lodge was incredible! Definitely one of the best visits I have ever had at the reserve. The staff all went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home

"Most luxurious and relaxing"

10.0

Every detail was paid attention to. The main lodge and the lodge cabins are beautifully designed and in excellent state. The staff is wonderful and the food is delicious. Drinks are very affordable. Game drives are comfortable, educative and fun and Malvin is an experienced ranger. The pool is fabulous and so large and clean you want to swim laps all afternoon. I can’t think of anything thay needs to be improved. We were there just before Christmas 2024 with 4 teen/adult children.

We liked everything

"A welcoming lodge that makes you feel like home"

10.0

A small and intimate lodge, with very helpful and supportive staff. It feels like family there. Overall, a very beautiful lodge, excellent food (mut not too much), great location. A perfect place to spend a few days to wind down, but also be taken care of.

The internet, it was rather unreliable, but we were told it was getting fixed.

"Simply excellent bush experience!"

10.0

Excellent team of staff, delicious food, very comfortable rooms and communal areas. Our game drives were amazing, we saw so much! Every time we went out, we came back having seen another amazing encounter. The animals coming down to drink in front of the lodge was such an added bonus!

No negative comments, it's just expensive for rand-based, local visitors.

The location was beautiful. The staff were friendly, accommodating and brilliant. The food was exceptional.

The pressure of the showers needs some work.
