"The top!!!
Everything was more than perfect:
The daily timing,
The service level, very proactive and always with smiles,
The food quality, excellently prepared and cooked,
Amaizing facilities in a less amaizing location,
The strong expertise of the guides and their way of life.
Thanks to the invisible staff who makes invisible any default.
Thanks to the management who makes all above possible.
PS: the games were all an unforgetable experience and a flow of emotion.
Can’t tell all we could see,...

My husband and I stayed for three nights and had such a fantastic time! The lodge was beautiful, our room spacious, staff helpful, and the food was really good ! Our ranger Zaan and tracker Philip were great and we saw the Big 5 within 2 drives.
A two to three night stay would be more than enough time if safari is your only goal. Otherwise the pool is nice to hang out by.
We went to the spa one morning after our morning drive & breakfast. We booked the “detox and destress moor...
