Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal, die Unterkunft wurde mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet . Der Service ist top! Eine herrliche Ruhe herrscht dort. Man kann super entspannen! Leider konnte man bei den Game Drives nicht so viel sehen , wie im Krüger Nationalpark selbst , da das Territorium auf dem gefahren wird nicht sehr groß ist. Bei längeren Aufenthalten wird wohl aber ein Tagesauflug in den Krüger angeboten .

sehr tolle Lodge mit super freundlichem Personal, die bei jedem Anliegen helfen. Von der Lodge kann man am daneben liegenden Fluss Wildtiere beobachten. Wir waren 3 Nächte hier und haben mehrere Elefanten, Giraffen, Hippos, Antilopen, Affen und Warzenschweine gesehen. Die Lodge bietet Safaris im Privatreservat mit eigenem, sehr erfahrenen Ranger an. Wir konnten auf 3 Safaris (2x morgens, 1x Abends) Giraffen, Elefanten, Zebras, viele Antilopenarten, einen Schakal und eine Löwenfamilie bestaunen. Achtung: der Weg vom Tor neben der Hauptstraße zur Lodge ist eine holprige,unbfestigte Straße von 13km! Ein SUV ist ein muss.
