Sehr empfehlenswert!
Moderne, luxuriöse Lodge mit einem wunderbaren Team. Aufmerksamer, freundlicher Service. Das Essen war hervorragend. Die Game-Drives mit Ranger Jason Branford waren lehrreich und unterhaltsam. Viele Tiersichtungen: Löwen, Giraffen, Nashörner, Nilpferde, Impala, Nyala, Kudu, Warzenschweine, viele hübsche Vögel. Ich werde sicherlich wieder dorthin fahren.
