The staff is all very welcoming and you feel like you are family while staying here. There are 5 rooms, so it is quiet and quaint. We really enjoyed the 2 game drives per day with very skilled and knowledgeable guides and trackers. The meals were all fantastic. I did not realize we were getting 3 full meals per day plus snacks and drinks on our game drives. We also enjoyed having group meals with all the other guest and getting to know them. We arranged a couple offsite events that were also great. I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone and feel the value is tremendous for what you get! ##### Eric Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret Jan 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Magnificent place! Staff could not have been better or nicer. Some of the pictures are misleading, food next to the pool. I would recommend taking excursions and if you have never been on a safari make sure to go to Kruger. There is a big difference between the bush and open plains. The one thing that I didn’t like was communal eating with the same people you go on 2 game rides a day with. it felt like we were on vacation together. I prefer to select the people I share experiences with. One guest said something so offensive which diminished the experience because we were bound together for the remainder of our stay. I suggest letting them know you want to eat your meals separately at the time of booking. That way your actions don’t seem offensive. ##### Margaret ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose Ignacio Aug 8, 2023 #### Maravilloso Sitio increible, la atencion del personal, la dedicacion, amabilidad… el estado del lodge es espectacular y su integracion con la naturaleza es maravillosa.
