Superverblijf

Locatie is prachtig. Zeer mooie kamers . Alles is aan. Comfort is top. Safari was top. Persoonlijke benadering.

Tijdens de nacht in de winter kan het zeer koud worden en was de verwarming onvoldoende in de tent. Eten was goed maar niet op een niveau dat je zou verwachten voor deze prijs.

C’est vraiment très très bien, tous les services sont au top, les équipes sont au petit soin et attentif, on se sent vraiment bien accompagnés.

Si c’était possible durant l’hiver de mieux chauffer les chambres pour le réveil du matin 5h ça serait un vrai plus 🙂

Ein besonderes Erlebnis

10.0

Die Fahrt zur Lodge ist schon der erste Gamedrive - am Besten nicht selber fahren, außer mit einem geländegängigen Fahrzeug (das eigene Auto kann sicher abgestellt werden). Uns hat Leila an allen Tagen als Rangerin begleitet: sie ist sehr kompetent und dazu liebenswert. Das Personal war insgesamt sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Die Zelte liegen direkt am Fluß: so schön wie auf den Fotos. Bester Blick vom WC ;-) Wunderbar ist auch, dass auf dem Grundstück Tiere unterwegs sind. Wir haben ein Picknick dazu gebucht: superschöner Platz und richtig toll eingedeckt. Frühstück und Abendessen waren köstlich, die Getränkeauswahl zufriedenstellend. Der Sundowner und der Morgenkaffee beim Gamedrive waren richtig toll!

Ein Lagerfeuer wäre schön gewesen, das haben wir vermisst.

Ein unvergesslicher wunderschöner Aufenthalt

10.0

Die ruhige Lage und die Zelte. Man kann es eher als Luxuszelt bezeichnen, da es Strom und fließendes Wasser hat, was uns sehr gefallen hat. So nah die Tiere sehen zukönnen.

Es gab zu viel Essen ;) da muss man seine Disziplin hervornehmen.

Tolle Lodge!

9.0

Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter in allen Bereichen. Alle waren äußerst hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Die Verpflegung war ausgezeichnet, reichhaltig und sehr schmackhaft. Das Zelt war sehr geräumig und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Es hat an nichts gefehlt.

Es gab nichts zu bemängeln. Vielleicht sollte man erwähnen, dass es nicht ratsam ist, mit dem Mietwagen oder dem eigenen PKW vom Gate zur Lodge zu fahren, es sei denn, man hat ein geländegängiges Fahrzeug. Die Strecke ist 10 km auf teils sehr unebenen Untergrund mit tiefen Bodenwellen. Mit einem normalen PKW und entsprechender Fahweise muss man eine Stunde einplanen.

Good to know

Please note that gate pick up times are seasonal & vary between 13:00 – 14:30. The lodge will be in direct contact with you closer to your booking & confirm the correct pick up times for your arrival date.
