"Lovely smaller hotel away from the hustle and bustle of the Zebula lodge but right inside the reserve with great rooms and dining."

"A piscina ficou sempre com boias de limpeza, e com toda e os sofas todos cobertos com lonas, queriamos usar o espaço fazer fotos, mas ficamos sem jeito. Além disso o hotel estava muito vazio, me sentia que só tinha eu e minha esposa lá (talvez seja a epoca). Mas tirando isso, lugar lindo, arrumadinho que acredito que tem um GRANDE potencial de crescimento. Todas as fotos que mostram aqui, cumprem o que entrega, e até mais que isso! Lugar bem aconchegante, preço super justo!"

"We enjoyed our stay @ Safari Plains. Arriving we were received by such friendly faces. The Luxury Tented Chalet we stayed in were overlooking the field where the game came to graze. We enjoyed the morning & afternoon game drives with the well informed guide, Ben. On our first night we had an open air dinner prepared by the chef and staff, it was amazing! We most definately recommend a stay at this 5 star lodge it will be an experience you'll never forget. ALL the staff made our stay fantastic. "
