Zach
The reserve was stunning. Saw plenty of wildlife despite relatively low game density. The food was great considering the size of the buffet. The property was nice but maybe too modern for a true safari experience. I was most disappointed that it wasn’t as family friendly as advertised. The child center was under construction, the pools were not heated, there were no activities for young children nor was there food catered towards young children.

Staff was awesome especial the Dinner at the bush
stuart
Everything was excellent. From the restaurant staff to the tour guide’s everyone was pleasant with a can do attitude.
Our safari guide Louis was absolutely magnificent and made it his personal mission to ensure everyone had a great time, using all his tracking skills to get us to see the wonderful wildlife available.

Verified traveler
An amazing stay. Tristan our guide helped us see all the animals including lion and cheetah. One of the best ever places we have stayed. Food was amazing. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend. Thank you for a life changing experience and stay.
Roberto
Nice pool and dining area. Felt very comfortable and the ambiance was very appropriate for a Safari lodge.
chris
A nice lodge and experience!
I took my 9yr old daughter here for two days. We had a lovely time and stay. The game drives were good and we saw everything there was to see except Leopard/cheetah. Some amazing experiences and sightings.
The lodge is clean and tidy and staff generally friendly and helpful. It was luckily fairly quiet At the start of our stay there, so the usual buffet was not catered, meaning that breakfast and supper was generally a la carte instead of the buffet. A la carte was good. The second day was busier and the buffet re-started.
The buffet itself is good, but not exquisite. As buffets go it was nice and a good selection of different types of food and ingredients. Good selection of salads and desserts. The highlight was the made-to-order hotplate: one day was stir-fry and the next fajitas. You choose the ingredients you want in a bowl and the sauce you’d like and the chef cooks it up on a tepanyaki style hot plate. Both times this was delicious!
Game drivers were friendly and attentive and knowledgable! Very determined to try and see lots of things including both the elephants and lions (in different areas).
We also took the horse-back safari. Was 1.5hrs on a horse. We ended up 7m/20ft from a family of 3 rhinos. Is safe as the rhinos see you as horse, not a person. What an amazing highlight being so close to these amazing creatures!
A shame the alcoholic beverage on the afternoon drive is charged to room afterwards and not included!

Relaxed get away
Went for a relaxing weekend away and got exactly that.
Would have liked some chairs to use out side the unit to soak up the sun and the relaxed surroundings
