“Having been on safari a few times before, the experience simply exceeded my expectations. I would highlight our exceptional team of Hayden and Patrick. More than simply seeing the big five, which we did, it was how we saw them and their interactions: leopard, lion, wild dog, all had it in for the hyenas! The accommodation was comfortable and authentic, the food wonderful and the staff friendly. The overnight Giraffe's Nest stay is a must. We will be back”
“We had an incredible stay at the lodge. The staff was so friendly and made sure our stay would be unforgettable. Besides that,
Sara made sure our traveling went as smoothly as possible so that was really nice. Also, the game drives were beautiful, we would recommend the morning drives but also a visit to Kruger is definitely worth it. Also, the view from the lodge itself was already
unbelievable, we saw elephants, hippo's, giraffes, impalas, and monkeys. The food was also really good, and the atmosphere was at dinner was magical. In overall we had an amazing experience here! We would definitely recommend staying here.”
“Carol and Nigel have a stunning game lodge. We had an incredible time over four nights. They have included a number of little touches that elevate your stay and experience and have created a lodge of quiet luxury, that is embedded within the bush. You can see animals from your balcony!
Our guide, Given, was phenomenal. He has an incredible knowledge of animals and birds and is such a fun guide. He has so much to teach and was amazing at finding and tracking animals. We saw the Big Five, but importantly, saw so much more beyond that. The lodge staff really value conserving the nature and animals around, and truly respect the animals. It was truly an unforgettable experience in the bush.
The front of house staff, Crescent, Glorify and Veronica were incredible. They were so kind, thoughtful and personable. They made us feel so welcome and at home. The food was also amazing - we were blown away by the variety and quality of the food.
An unforgettable five days and an experience of a lifetime.”
“Great place to stay near Orpen gate of the Kruger. Really interesting place with great facilities. They also contribute to the local community! Fantastic value for money.”
“The location was excellent - very close to the gate. Dinner was delicious, very well plated and presented. Breakfast was just as good.
The staff were ALL so attentive and went out of their way to make us feel special. Lucky even taught me how to fold a napkin into a flower shape! We had such fun while there.”
“A nice resort in the thick bush. Even from the room you could see antelopes and elephants passing by.
With a friendly staff, excellent service and a great chef.
The drives in the bush and the plains were simply unforgettable!
The big 5 were seen every day and with so many more animals, it was a unique experience.”
