The game drives were wonderful. Qolani and Paul were wonderful. They really made the experience great. Staff is so friendly, helpful and accommodating. The food was ok. I was expecting a culinary experience, but it was average. On one day for lunch (new years day) we got what tasted like frozen pizza so everybody just took one bite, not typical South African food for some meals. Breakfasts were good, the waiting in line to get an egg prepared to order was long so I had eggs one morning the rest just ate what was available. Dinner was buffet style most days.Food was lukewarm. The meat wasn’t seasoned, precooked and finished on the grill. I have a hard time believing that there was a chef during our stay, the food was disappointing. We did waste a lot of food, it looked good but didn’t taste great. Same with desserts, looked delicious but didn’t taste good which should be evident by how much was left on the plates. I didn’t complain at that point because that’s what they offer and complaining tends to spoil the experience for the family. The AC in one of our rooms didn’t work, they did come look at it but it never really cooled the room down. Overall, a great experience. Would I go to this lodge again? Probably not.

The hotel meets expectations. Positive points: Explanatory Safari, with a great chance of seeing the big 5. The employees are attentive and collaborative. There is space in the pool and sofas around for all guests. The service is not agile, but it is attentive. Negative points: the food is not good.

Staff are fantastic! Food is lovely. Pilot was our driver for our 3 day safari. He takes his job very seriously and our safety is vital. He’s a serious man but very good at his job. Isaac is such a happy waiter and always aims to please, again he’s very good at his job. Food always tasted homemade so the chef she is great! We would recommend this accommodation for your safari. We had a great time!

Such amazing friendly staff, expert trackers and drivers, good food! The room was sparkling clean and well appointed with an outside and inside shower - much enjoyed into summer heat. Special mention must go to Elias & Ocean our game drive team who were not only expert, but went the extra mile

Wir haben hier 4 Tage und 3 Nächte verbracht. Insgesamt haben wir 6 GameDrives mitgemacht. In den ersten 2 haben wir schon 5/5 der Big Five gesehen. Unsere Guides waren der Wahnsinn, ein echt gutes Dou. Sie haben die Tiere immer vor den anderen gefunden, klar ein Glücksspiel... Auch das Personal in der Lodge egal wer, es waren alle bestens gelaunt und sehr freundlich und zu vorkommend. Ein wunderbares Team! Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und das ganze wiederholen.
