"Our experience at this place was amazing. The food was top-notch. They tailored the food to my wife’s dietary restrictions. We got to see so many animals. our ranger did everything he could make sure we see everything especially the Big 5. The staff were some of the nicest most helpful people we’ve met. They pay attention to every little detail and spent time telling us wonderful stories about their lives and the reserve. Highly recommended Incredible unforgettable lifetime experience."

"Everything about the room was very good. The food was excellent and there is a good selection of included drinks to wash it down. The photography hide by the water hole gives you a great perspective to get pictures that a bit different from the usual safari shots. The game drives were first class. Our driver was knowledgeable and keen to make sure we saw a great selection of animals including, wild dogs, lions, cheetahs and rhinos. He could improve his jokes though."
