great outdoor experience
overall stay was great. accommodation very comfortable. surroundings was clean and pleasing. game drives were superb; saw 4 of the big 5 which was just amazing. the spa was good although the time allocated was not given as there were few staff. the food was good as well with a lot of variety to choose from. quad biking was very exciting. wifi was very poor which is very disappointing

The location is amazing. However, we found the place a bit tired and need of a makeover. It's not a suitable venue for couples...it's very family friendly.

A great stay! Reception was very helpful, our game ranger was great. Sundowners in the bush was a nice touch as well. Food is good, but could be a little better
