James, Fresno, CA

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This is, of course, a bush camp, ina private game reserve about 3 hours drive from Joburg. We were droppped off at the main gate by a driver arranged through the African Pride Hotel in Melrose Arch-all went well. We were met by Jonad, from the loghe, and for the next three days he and his staff looked after everything and did a spectacular job. Game drives with Jonas, meals prepared by Steven and served by Clifford were all just great. The remaining staff of housekeepers, etc. were largely unseen but their work was evident and efficient. Frankly, my familt coudn't figure out how so few people could provide such great service. Highly recommended.

Amazing!

Everything met our expectations and more. Staff was very helpful with everything. Very exiting game drives. Truly amazing. The lodge is beautiful and the rooms are definitely 5 stars. Food was outstanding most of the time. You have a luxurious feeling when there is a limit of 10 occupants on the lodge. Recommended 100% from our side!

Prachtige lodge in een wildreservaat

Prachtige lodge met mooi ingerichte cabins en gemeenschappelijke ruimtes en een geweldig uitzicht. Het team werkt ontzettend hard om het verblijf voor de gasten een onvergetelijke ervaring te maken. De service is warm en persoonlijk. De game drives zijn indrukwekkend en het eten heerlijk!
