Lage mitten im Naturschutzgebiet als Ausgangspunkt für Game Drives, individuelle Betreuung inklusive Kochen für uns, toll ausgestattetes und kreatives Zimmer, wir hatten Glück und konnten Elefanten und Nashörner aus nächster Nähe beobachten
− Wasser zum Duschen war nicht für zwei Personen hintereinander heiß genug. Ansonsten ein Traum.!

Een heerlijk rustige en onvergetelijke twee dagen

De huisjes zijn aan een berg hang gelegen met wijdse uitzicht over het landschap. De stilte is heerlijk. De safari s zijn onvergetelijk, zelfs als de wegen vol stenen, hobbelig en vol curven zijn rijdt de bestuurder veilig en rustig door het park terwijl hij allerlei wetenswaardige verteld. Het eten en de bediening was goed. Wij hebben onze twee dagen genoten

The staff is extremely friendly and really makes you feel at home. We were the only 2 guests during our two night stay and really enjoyed our time. During the game drive, Romeo really adds to the experience given his extensive knowledge and we got to see a lot of animals on the morning safari!!
− Not much, only thing would be that the drive to the North where all the animals are is a bit long (but definitely worth it)!!
