"RECOMENDO !!!"

10.0

Atendimento personalizado, Peter participou e interagiu em todas as atividades, um excelente anfitrião. Uma pequena reserva particular onde pudemos avistar todos os animais disponíveis (Bufalo, Zebra, Girafa, Kudu, Impala, Timbila....). Como diferencial monta um roteiro personalizado para cada cliente.

Между домиком и сафари тентом выбрали сафари тент и не ошиблись - максимальное слияние с природой без потери комфорта! Внимательный приветливый персонал! Очень вкусная еда!

Понравилось абсолютно всё!

"Exceptional"

10.0

Staying here was such a special experience. Everything went beyond our expectation. Both Janka and Peter are the best, it didn't feel like just being a guest, but being a part of a local family which makes me feel like home. They always ready to help with anything we needed in every situation. We gained so many valuable insights, they are true experts in the area and wildlife. I would like to also thank the ladies and other staffs for the delicious traditional food and the warmest care. Highly recommend for anyone who wants more than just accommodation, but a real connection and a stay that will be one of your best core memories. Will definitely return! They truly deserve more recognition for their hospitality.

"Absolutely incredible!"

10.0

Absolutely incredible! We enjoyed every single minute to the fullest. Our hosts, Peter and his daughter, were unbelievably kind and helpful – nothing was ever a problem! The accommodation is brand new, modern, well-maintained, and spotless. The entire property is clean and beautifully kept. The ladies in the kitchen were an absolute dream – I felt like a princess! The food and service were fantastic. But the best part was the evening conversations around the campfire – truly unforgettable. I was genuinely sad to leave the lodge. Thank you for everything and for these wonderful days! We’re already looking forward to our next stay!

There’s absolutely nothing to complain about – except that we had to leave.
