Great experience… this was our first safari and I’m sure we wont forget about anything about it. It was also our honeymoon and staff was great, they made sure that we had a great time at there. We stayed for only two nights, only regret that we have is we wish we made it longer.

We drove by ourselves. Staff send us a map because at the end of the route there is no phone reception. We saw there was a note on the map which indicates TAKE CASH WITH YOU FOR THE TOLLS. Unfortunately we saw that after we started the journey :) you wont be able to find any change office on the route, tolls dont accept credit cards. We managed to withdraw money at some kind of market but it was deffinetly challenging. Beside this there wasnt any problem, I am great we did this vacation

"Overall, we had much better stays and game drives at other resorts (Pumba Private Game Reserve) at a similar price point"

6.0

1. Beautiful rooms 2. Great food 3. Mainly rhinos seen during game drives.

1. The game reserve is very large and was very hard to spot animals. 2. No cats at all seen on two game drives. No giraffes or hyenas. Very rare spotting of elephants. 3. The resort package is exclusive of all drinks (even bottled water) which are charged separately. At the price point, the package should be all inclusive.
