exceptional

Pros: It was exceptional. The staff, the food, the drives, the room. I’ve clearly been doing the bush incorrectly.

Everything we hoped it would be and WAY more.

Pros: Exceptional service in an exceptional location. once you’ve done a safari in a private reserve you will never look back, and this is the best lodge in the best reserve. Made to feel very special, all the staff knew our names from the moment we arrived. Game drives all stunning, good fabulous and nothing was too much trouble. already plotting our return, and this time we will bring friends and family to share it with. Justice and Elvis were the best of hosts on the game drives.

Excelente escolha!

Pros: O hotel é incrível, apenas 10 suítes… amplas e com piscina privativa … toda arquitetura clean e elegante com uma pegada de “África” …A equipe é gentil, prestativa, dedicada a cada hóspede. As refeições excelentes, bem como as bebidas incluídas nas diárias! A localização- muito perto do aeroporto facilita a logística… o transfer oferecido pelo hotel já é um game (estrada dentro do parque e já é possível avistar animais). Nosso ranger Mike nos levou aos lugares certos para ver e observar os animais!

Cons: Nada! Tudo perfeito!

Magia pura

Pros: Es un lugar íntimo ,exclusivo y con mucho encanto.

Cons: A pesar de que la comida es excelente creo que alguna opción tipo buffet daría algo más de dinamismo a los desayunos, comidas y cenas . Actualmente es todo a la carta, insisto comida fabulosa del 10!

Inesquecível !! Sugeriria: uso de drone para melhor localizar “animais nobres”!Alem de possível exposição áudio visual

Pros: Ampla, confortável, limpa! Piscina privativa e banho ao ar livre (if you wish…).

Cons: Probleminha rapidamente resolvido com ralo entupido do banheiro.

Don’t hesitate- book here. It’s amazing.

Pros: This property is incredible! The rooms were stunning and so large. I had no idea how amazing the safari rides would be- Justice and Elvis did such an amazing job at making us feel safe and finding/getting up close to the big 5. The service is impeccable- Tinyiko our server was so kind and we felt so cared for. I wasn’t expecting much for the food- due to it being all inclusive- but it was absolutely amazing quality, ingredients and preparation.

Cons: They were doing some construction on the property during the day and it was a little bit noisy at times. It wasn’t horrible, but when your out in the bush you want to just hear nature.

Excellent Lodge et service impeccable

Pros: le service était niquel, la chambre avec la piscine chauffée était exceptionnelle. Rien à redire sur la nourriture et les petites attentions.

Cons: Pour les Games drives, on aurait aimé un peu plus d’enthousiasme des guides, pour la densité et la diversité des animaux on pense que la réserve de Madikwe est une meilleure option si vous venez que pour les safaris.
