Kololo Game Reserve
Bakkerspas Road, 0530 Welgevonden Game Reserve, South Africa – Excellent location - show map
Our cottage was actually a fully equipped house with lounge, dining room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms. Very big and well maintained, and fully equipped. Plus private swimming pool and a big terrace with amazing views. I liked the walk from our cottage to the restaurant, though some people would prefer to drive (the property offers a shuttle service). Staff is very friendly. Food is not 5-star but certainly very good. The game drives were amazing. All in all, a very relaxing and beautiful place.
