From the beautifully appointed room with stunning view, super comfortable bed, great and spacious bathroom to the amazing 5 star delicious food and again amazing views from the dining room and outdoor deck, we were so pleased to have chosen this particular reserve. Then the staff, they were so friendly, approachable and in particular our Ranger Sbu was so knowledgable and he knew exactly where to find so many animals. We realised how lucky we were that within 24 hrs we'd seen 3 (elephants, lions and buffalo) out of the big 5, plus additional animals such as jackal, ostrich, wart hog, zebra, buck, impala, kudu, giraffe!

All meals were glorious and very delicious with very generous portions! Kudos to the chefs! We enjoyed everything that we had. The staff members were absolutely friendly, always willing to assist, a pleasure to be with and they made our stay wholesome and comfortable! Stay shining team ❤️ All rooms were clean and fresh. Well done to the cleaners and maintenance team. The game drives were very fun and very informative/educational. They were fantastic! We had a short break in between our drive, in the bushes with drinks and snacks (the ranger usually stopped at the safest place with beautiful views). Stefan was our ranger/guid and he was incredible. He loves his job and he's very knowledgeable about the environment and animals. He shared a lot of interesting facts about the different types of animals that we saw. We saw lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras, rhinos, buffaloes, kudus (just to name a few) and many more as well as the different kinds of birds. This place has really made me appreciate nature more.
