Good value for a good price!

A quick overnight stop. Although a slight detour from the main road, it well worth it for the peace and quiet. Good value for a good price. The noisy rhinos feeding on the front lawn were an additional treat

The houses are all in the same grey colour, what makes the athmosphere strange in the beginnung. Some colour on the walls would make it more friendly. And in the bathrooms there is an avoidible echo. The rhinos and other animals in the evening were great.

Rhino experience awesome - lodge dismal

When we arrived there was nobody at reception, then were told our stay was cancelled even though it wasn’t. Service in every area terrible, have to look for someone if you want to order a drink. Seeing the rhinos is amazing and could be the only thing that people would travel for. This lodge has so much potential to be so much better but there is zero enthusiasm by anybody on the property.

This place is great if you want to see rhinos and experience their presence without a fence or anything separating them from you. It’s not a place if you are looking for sterile bathrooms. The beds are comfortable under mosquito nets. There is lots of mosquitoes so be prepared with bug spray. She stuff is very helpful they are wonderful. It’s only a small volume lodge so the choice of food is not big but everything we had was tasty. Nice bar. We did not use swimming pool. The animals coming to the waterhole are making this place worth a visit.

Fantastique vue sur les rhinos

Fantastique vue sur les rhinos de la terrasse. Les points forts : bon accueil, chambre (n°4) propre, spacieuse, moustiquaire entourant le lit, SDB Ă©galement trĂšs grande, eau bien chaude. Terrasse. Chambre avec tout un pan de mur vitrĂ© donnant sur le point deau. Nous y avons observĂ© diffĂ©rents animaux dont des rhinos qui ont l'habitude semble t il de s'arrĂȘter Ă  cet endroit. Chaque chalet a vue sur le point d'eau. Brasero le soir. Bar proposant des alcools et cocktails pas trĂšs chers. Menu 3 services fixes, excellent. Belle infrastructure. PDJ seulement partir de 7h30 et lenteur au service, un peu embĂȘtant quand on veut partir tĂŽt.

I rinoceronti non bastano

Partiamo dall’inizio. Come suggerito sul loro sito li contattiamo per prenotare: 1) Visita alla riserva 2) massaggio Per la visita ci viene detto che non Ăš assicurata i. Quanto non hanno altre prenotazioni e minimo Ăš per 4 persone (sul sito dice due) Per il massaggio viene confermato Arrivo alla reception La proprietaria fa il check in e ci dice che il giro si fa in quanto hanno trovato altre persone, nulla sul massaggio. Accoglienza gelida e nessuna spiegazione sulla struttura, tranne che la piscina non funzionava. Ci viene data la camera, carina ma sporca, detriti di uccelli alle pareti (da foto), bagno datato e mai manutenzionato) Escursione nella riserva Nonostante il ragazzo sia stato molto bravo non abbiamo visto quasi nulla in quanto l’escursione viene fatta non con il solito mezzo in uso nei lodge ma con un vero e proprio camion enorme e rumorosissimo che farebbe scappare anche le persone, non solo gli animali. Prima cena Commestibile tranne il dolce immangiabile (come da foto) Chiude il ristorante e chiude il bar, tutti intorno al fuoco nel giardino ma neanche la possibilitĂ  di un cocktail. Colazione mediocre L’indomani quando chiediamo conferma dell’orario del massaggio veniamo informati che non Ăš possibile perchĂ© la massaggiatrice lavora solo mezza giornata. Avendo il giorno libero chiediamo alla signora cosa poter fare come escursioni. Risposta: non lo so, rivolgetevi ad altri lodge. CosĂŹ facciamo, con un’ora di macchina, andiamo al “prossimo” lodge

Bei Ankunft unerwartet freundlicher Empfang durch eine Nashornfamilie und diverse andere pelzige und gefiederte Freunde am von der Lodge erstellten Wasserloch :-) Angst vor diesen frei herum laufenden Tieren darf man keine haben, sonst schafft man es nicht aufs Zimmer. Wir haben in den Betten wie auf Wolken geschlafen. Service und Essen waren gut. Es war ein wunderbarer Anfang unserer Reise!
