An excellent 2 day stay over in all aspects.

9.0

One could classify the accommodation as luxurious, and the cuisine was top-notch served on our veranda, which overlooked the river. We enjoyed the sunset tour, although the wildlife was very limited, we did see several rhino in a neighbour's property on the way to African Safari Lodge, but it is not the zoo and we had fun.

The guide down the river got a bit tiresome and could have been a lot more informative. The guide in the vehicle was far better.

Prachtige en spannende locatie. Zeer vriendelijke personeel en heerlijk gegeten.

9.0

Prachtige locatie, uitkijkend over het water. Ondanks het mindere weer hebben wij genoten. Door de storm was er geen stroom voor een dag maar prima opgelost door de host met olielampjes, aggregaat voor de douche en maaltijden aan de deur bezorgd. Je rijdt een eigen natuurreservaat in met wilde dieren, omgeving is prachtig. Zeer aardige host, goed verzorgd ontbijt en diner en heerlijke massage.
