Der ganze Aufenthalt von dem Transfer über das Essen bis zu den Game Drives , alles war mehr als perfekt . Paul ist ein hervorragender Gastgeber und für uns als Familie war es der richtige Ort um Afrika und Safari zu erleben . Danke für dieses unglaubliche Erlebnis.

Wat een belevenis: een aanrader!

10.0

De hele beleving was ronduit fantastisch! Het was een hele belevenis om vanuit de lodge alle wilde dieren te zien. Het personeel stond altijd voor ons klaar, het eten was heerlijk en de game drives waren een belevenis.

Het enige kleinere minpuntje zou dan de douche zijn. Wij verbleven in de tenten: de douche was schoon en eenvoudig.

Het is een fantastische plek en in combinatie met het super personeel zorgt ervoor dat je echt helemaal op je plek voelt. Ze laten je echt thuis voelen. Het eten was ook fantastisch!

Dat we weer naar huis moesten!

Stunning wildlife sightings everyday

10.0

Located right on the Oliphants River, the wildlife viewing was exceptional everyday, and the friendliness of the staff and amazing food really just made it a beautiful break in nature. Great guides on walking and driving game drives, campfire at night and easy, relaxing days. Loved it and will be back!

Notre guide Jack était au top, c’était très intéressant d’en apprendre sur les animaux. Les cuisinières nous ont préparés des bons plats et une belle chambre.

Très peu d’animaux visibles
