FANTASTIC !

Pros: It's an 11 ! It was perfect service during our stay. We felt like royals. What a great house with all the comfort anyone can ask. Views across the bush. Great food, drinks after the game drive. The day is organised but it never feels like it. On the game drives we had great guides and we got to see amazing things (a leopard climbing in the tree at night to eat it's prey / we were surrounded by elephants). You really don't mind to get up early in the morning here. You want to enjoy every moment of it. I would really like to thank the staff for the excellent attention all day. The elephant visiting us at dinner is something we will remember

Cons: the number of speed bumps on the way in :-)

Small, intimate luxury property, in a beautiful setting, with exceptionally attentive and welcoming staff.

Pros: We felt cared for at all times - nothing was too much trouble. Great food, from pre-morning game drive treats to sundowners on safari, and all meals in between and an excellent selection of wines and spirits. Special treats like the ‘sleep-out’ and ‘bush bath’ under the stars set Garonga apart in its own class of camp.

exceptionnel

Pros: Le personnel était exceptionnel. Le safari était top avec la vision de très nombreux animaux incluant les big five. Les repas étaient délicieux. L'ambiance à la fois familiale et intime. Au total une grande expérience

Cons: Si l'ensemble des batiments du Little Garonga sont soignés, une amélioration serait possible dans l'entourage immédiat des batiments, comme la réalisation d'un jardin botanique qui serait plus agréable comme environnement que les arbres morts du bush
