Tinha entendido ao fechar a hospedagem que teria 2 safáris por dia, porém ao realizar check out foi cobrado um safári, ou seja a estadia tem um safári incluído mas oferecem dois no dia.

Wauw, wat een beleving!

10.0

Wij hebben een paar hele mooie dagen bij Parsons Hilltop Safari Camp gehad. We werden met zoveel liefde ontvangen. Ze hielpen ons overal mee. Wanneer je er een gamedrive bij boekt, krijg je de full experience. Veel persoonlijker dan in de grote parken. Super vet ook dat je er tussendoor uit gaat voor een drankje of koffie/thee. Dat brengt extra spanning met zich mee. We hebben geluk gehad dat we braaidag mee konden maken en één keer avondeten op de vlonder. Alles was perfect. Echte rust ervaar je. Buiten douche en buiten zwembad was ook echt relaxed.

Wifi in de tent is soms wel handig, omdat er gecommuniceerd word via whatsapp. En in de tent had je soms ook geen internet. Maar wij vonden het wel heerlijk zonder wifi.

The perfect short-stay safari.

9.0

Absolutely loved our stay, in total we were three 3 nights; the tents were spacious and comfortable. We slept so well at night and the daily menu was delicious! But the best part was definitely the friendly and knowledgeable guides. Steven went out of the way to make sure we saw game (giraffe, lions, to name a few) during our drive and was extremely funny and knowledgeable. Was a magical experience.

Le décor de la chambre et du lobby. Style authentique et magnifique. Enchanteur La vue dominante sur le bush

Nous avons vu peu d’animaux comparé à la durée des safari. Beaucoup de route et des animaux qui se font rares même si nous avons réussi à les rencontrer.

Wat een prachtige plek! Alles is echt heel goed geregeld! Leuke safari's met leuke mensen die er veel verstand van hebben. De jacuzzi met uitzicht is echt zo mooi! Eten is ook echt goed.
