Fantastic

Pros: We were on our way to Kruger Park and booked for a single night as a stop over. The room was clean and the linen, beds and towels were good quality and very comfortable. There was also a fan in the room. We had dinner and breakfast, both were fantastic. The staff that looked after us were phenomenal. We really enjoyed the entire experience. You drive through local villages to get there which we enjoyed the most. It is a very safe environment. It is also very close to orpen gate so coming from KZN it was the perfect stop over, we left early morning after breakfast which gave us lots of time to get to our camp in Kruger. Thank you guys for a once in a life time experience.

Loved it! Great true African bush experience.

Pros: Very friendly and lovely staff made our stay great.

Cons: We loved our stay. Was excellent way to start the new year. The road to the lodge is a gravel road, so a car with a good clearance is recommended.

Bring enough drinking water, power bank and be prepared for a long gravel road drive to the place.

Pros: I liked the host, the staff and food. The host tells good stories.

Cons: We struggled with getting constant electricity, water for showering and water for the toilet. Be ready to eat your breakfast and dinner with the host daily. Bring your own iron and enough drinking water since the water from the tab is very salty.

Best time ever - thank you so so much - 100 percent !!!

Pros: I had a very authentic experience Bhili and his team took a lot of time for me and gave everything to create great memories. I didn't feel like a guest, I felt like part of the family. I was warmly welcomed. I chose the camp while my parents were at Saby Sands, which was the best decision for me and my parents envied me for such a great time. On the day of departure our car had a flat tire, Bhili and Matteo not only showed us the nearest workshop, but even drove there with us. I have never experienced so much warmth. I can recommend everyone to spend their time there, lots of authentic experiences and great animal sightings I will definitely come back

Well cared for Tented Camp in the Bush

Pros: Very well tended camp in the bush, close to Kruger and several other game reserves. Owner Bhili and staff are very friendly, lovely people. Lloyd cooks delicious breakfast and dinner and is a thoughtfull host. The camp is solar powered so there is no problem with load shedding. Dinner is served in a traditional boma with a fire in the middle. Bhili is a great storyteller and also a very experienced guide with extensive knowledge about animals, birds and plants. The gamedrives where spectacular! The beds are very comfortable, the tents and common areas are very clean and well maintained. Remember you are in the bush in the middle of nature, keep your tent closed or you may have roommates with four or more legs!

Cons: After the difficult and adventurous drive to the camp over gravel roads we where a bit spooked because the camp is really far outside. No wifi, no restaurant or supermarket close by. The kids where also a bit scared by the animal skulls in the boma. But Bhili, Lloyd and the other staff worked really hard to make us feel welcome and well cared for. They provided everything you could need. After that we could really enjoy the peace and natural atmophere of the camp and the company of the lovely people running it. We where sad to leave.
