"We had a wonderful stay! We honestly booked without expectations and were blown away. The staff has your whole day planned and makes sure you are cared for and pampered the entire time. The massage therapist was amazing! Our guide and tracker (Mark and Nickel) made the drives completely memorable. Our butler was also very professional and accommodating to our preferences!

8/10 Good
"The lodge is lovely, game drives well organised. Every effort is taken to ensure your comfort. Our driver/ tracker was polite, friendly and well informed. We saw lions, rhinos, elephants, hynae, jackal, zebra, giraffes hippos... but no leopard! The food is pretty average and your preferences that they ask about are pretty much ignored. I had said no pasta but that is what I got and a bland and tasteless one at that with no sauce. In particular the dinners lack imagination, especially if you are vegetarian."
