Pros: Awesome location. Close to the main reserve amenities. And the animals literally at your door step. Aptly named Elephant Lodge because we had a herd of elephants pass by one of the days!

Overall stay was enjoyed by everyone, especially with bonus of finding board games in the house.

Pros: The quiet and serene atmosphere of the place made it a nice place to visit, especially if one did not want any usual city life noise. The game drive was spectacular and well enjoyed by the whole family.

Cons: The beds were a bit too hard for us, and made our sleep a bit uncomfortable. The pool area is a bit small for the number of houses available at the reserve.

A Gem.

Pros: This unit had all that was needed. The beds and bedding were exceptional. Well equipped and the location to restaurants and shops was great. Easy access to self drive game park.

Miguel 9/10

South Africa 🇿🇦

Pros: Loved that the 2 bedrooms each had their own bathrooms and tv's. I loved that the owners did something special for my daughter's birthday. Very thoughtful. I also found the owners very accommodating.

Cons: Would generally love a separate and communal lounge area but the design of these units do not allow that. The braai area a little walk and not the most convenient.
