Relaxing holiday for anniversary with great sightings of wildlife and birds. We truly enjoyed our stay at the reserve. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with complimentary drinks at reception. Due to there being a private event on in the park, we were given the opportunity to move our stay to a more private lodge away from noise and music, which we were grateful for as we have a 6-month-old. Our host had decorated our room as it was our anniversary and had added a bottle of wine to our dinner. All of this was not requested but provided by our host. We had great sightings of elephants, wildebeest, warthogs, giraffes, and a large variety of buck in numerous herds. Some roads, once deeper in the park, could possibly be better labelled, mainly indicating if it’s 4x4 access or not; otherwise, I am very impressed with the condition and upkeep! I am however glad I have a 4x4, made for some fun exploration. Will definitely be back soon!

Quiet, big and animals around the houses. Had a nice stay. Service was very friendly.

Rustig, groot en dieren rondom de huisjes. Leuk verblijf gehad. Bediening was heel vriendelijk.

Friendly people and beautiful clean and comfortable place. It was our 50th wedding anniversary and just what we needed. No mobile reception and only in nature. Game drive was pleasant staff well trained. Friendly staff and we were kindly received and also greeted upon our departure. Layout of chalets excellent, each one separate in forest unaware of your neighbor and wildlife roaming between chalets.

Vriendelike mense en pragtige skoon en gerieflike plek. Dit was ons 50ste huweliksherdenking en net wat ons nodig gehad het. Geen selfoonopvangs en net in die natuur. Wildrit was aangenaam personeel goed opgelei. Vriendelike personeel en ons is vriendelik ontvang en ook gegroet met ons vertrek. Uitleg van chalets uitstekend, elkeen afsonderlik in bos onbewus van jou buurman en wild loop tussen chalet rond.

Absolute value for your money and food for your soul! What a great experience! Our family had a wonderful time together. It's very private, clean and absolute value for money. The units were luxurious, cleaned every day and you feel so part of nature. It's also close to many attractions. We will definitely go back again.

Absolute waarde vir jou geld en voedsel vir jou siel! Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring! Ons gesin het 'n wonderlike tydjie saam geniet. Dis baie privaat, skoon en absolute waarde vir jou geld. Die eenhede was luuks, word elke dag skoongemaak en jy voel so deel van die natuur. Dis ook naby aan baie besienswaardighede. Ons sal definitief weer teruggaan.

Very enjoyable and good value. The resort is well maintained, the chalet was clean and comfortable, food was plain but good and reasonably priced, wine selection as shown on menu was OK except that very few choices were available.

Nice and quiet and safe, just what we needed. The lodge people are very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were clean and tidy every day. Just think their pools need attention. Leaves and bugs are everywhere and the bottom is full of sand. The tiles of the swimming pools are faded and therefore the swimming pools look even dirtier. Furthermore, we really enjoyed the lodge. Perhaps a suggestion that there is more than just swimming pools and game drives. A little more to do and enjoy.

Lekker rustig en veilig, net wat ons nodig gehad het. Die lodge mense is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Badkamers was elke dag skoon en netjies. Dink net hulle swembaddens kort aandag. Blare en goggas druif orals rond en die bodem is vol sand. Die teëls van die swembaddens is verbleik en daarom lyk die swembaddens nog vuiler. Verder het ons die lodge baie geniet. Dalk 'n voorstel dat daar meer as net swembaddens en wildritte is. Bietjie meer om te doen en te geniet.

Too expensive for what you get. The nature is beautiful and there are many animals and many birds, but the place where we stayed (Tree House 12) is neglected and outdated. Definitely not worth what you pay. There isn't much to do either. For us, there are better game parks. The distance there is the same, but around the wildlife park in the area there is much more luxurious accommodation available for the same amount and plenty to do in the area.

Te duur vir wat jy kry. Die natuur is mooi en daar is heelwat diere en baie voëls, maar die plek waar ons gebly het (Tree House 12) is afgeskeep en verouderd. Definitief nie dit wat mens betaal werd nie. Daar is ook nie veel om te doen nie. Vir ons is daar beter wildtuine. Die afstand soontoe is dieselfde, maar om die wildtuin in die area is daar heelwat luukser verblyf teen dieselfde bedrag beskikbaar en baie in die omgewing om te doen.
