the stay was out of this world.

Pros: Breakfast location was the best . I loved the view and the serenity.

Cons: The spar is the best and i enjoyed the boat cruise . A bit of music at the boat cruise will be better.

Great, hospitality the best, the aesthetics and presentation of food

Pros: I loved the hospitality of the staff and the food.

Cons: The game drive was dry, it was not value for money, if I knew the property did not have enough animals i would have booked for the milk and honey bath, did not book for it because of time

Our stay was absolutely exceptional. The experience was pure luxury and comfort . Elegant experience.

A wonderful stay made perfect by the incredible service

Pros: From the moment we arrived, the service was absolutely out of this world! The staff was welcoming , friendly and the willingness to assist with anything we needed made us feel right at home. They went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. The lodge itself is well-kept, and the attention to detail in the service really sets it apart. Every interaction with the staff felt genuine and caring, which made a huge difference in our overall experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here thanks to the exceptional service, especially from Mathapelo and Dora, and we would gladly return.

Cons: The only issue we experienced was that the room had a strange smell — almost like carpet — which was odd because there was no carpet in the room. While it didn’t completely ruin our stay, it was noticeable and could be improved for an even better guest experience.

Excellent place and its worth every penny spent

Pros: Was very good. Well balanced and presentation excellent

Cons: In my opinion the place was well thought through though I will be great if the spa hours could be extended as 6pm is way too early and will allow guest to enjoy other activities in the establishment

It was a nice experience

Pros: Please change the cutlery as it is not comfortable to handle

Cons: Please upgrade the main road to the property. Even if it can be filled with gravel for it to be drivable
