Dit is wat ze noemen “ VIP” !!!
10.0Vanaf het moment van aankomst tot ons vertrek werden we volledig in de watten gelegd. Het ontbreekt je bij Makweti safari lodge werkelijk aan helemaal niks. Bijzonder mooie kleinschalige lodge, fantastische Rangers en de “Big 5” gezien. Super lief personeel, niks is teveel en fantastisch eten.

10.0Die Safaris waren hervorragend, genau wie das Essen, wir wurden rundherum verwöhnt!
