    Our guide,Josh was fantastic - very knowledgeable and caught onto the May family sense of humour- Everyone in the lodge was amazing- thanks to Nina and her team. Even made use of the plunge pool

    The setting and the facilities were excellent. We used the Spa which perfectly complemented the Lodge. The rooms were spotlessly clean as were the rest of the facilities.

    The staff are brilliant. The food is amazing. The accommodation is beautiful. The private game reserve felt special, as if we had it to ourselves during our excursions. I had very high expectations based on the price and the whole experience...
