I like the experience of sleeping inside the reserve. Very nice! The people working there are top! Kudos!

Amazing "character" filled house. It was like staying as a guest in a fully furnished mansion of the early 1900's. A place of stories, family portraits and mystery. Every room filled with fascinating personal family memorabilia.

We loved out time here. Our guide, Jesse, was knowledgeable and ensured we saw all the Big 5. He even managed to insert us into the middle of the elephant herd...they were within touching distance. The Reserve is in magnificent countryside...Africa stretching to the horizon. We loved the little touches - the early morning tea, the coffee and drinks breaks during the game drives, the cold towels to refresh us when we arrived back from our drives - all were wonderful. The elephants coming to drink at the pool at the lodge was the high point of our stay....they stayed for over an hour and Jesse was able to explain to hierarchy of the families under the protection of the Bull elephant....fascinating. The food was fabulous - great variety and all presented in gourmet style. The staff were superb. Renzo and his team work tirelessly to ensure everything is perfect.

It was the best stay during our South Africa trip so far in every respect: the safari was incredibly exciting and professionally led by our experienced RANGER Timothy. We took part in several safaris over two mornings, one afternoon and once at night. We were able to see all animal species up close, some of them in large herds, and the National Park also provides an idyllic, picturesque backdrop that we will remember for a long time. The accommodation deserves 5 stars plus, as does the service and the culinary cuisine. The bartender Nceba and the chef John pampered us beyond measure and we were treated to the delicious cuisine and cocktails in the representative Club House, which in this respect were the highlight of our South Africa trip. We can recommend this game resort, which in our opinion deserves a solid 10 points, with a clear conscience, and we will definitely come back again soon.

It’s a very charming family-run lodge, with amazing staff and great game drives. We immediately felt at home, waved all the staff goodnight in the evening (and even the 3 very cute dogs) and were almost a bit sad we had to leave. Definitely worthwhile!!
