    Brighter lighting in the room would be great.

    Everything was outstanding, the service, food, accommodation, our guide David was so knowledgeable. Even the other guests were lovely. We had a perfect time.

    The best place we have ever stayed! Staff were brilliant from the second we arrived, and made us feel very welcome. The food was exceptional at breakfast, lunch and dinner and the portions were very generous. The lodges themselves were spacious and clean and the huge bath was a treat. The decking area was also great and we were lucky enough to see a herd of elephants just metres away one afternoon. Most importantly we loved the game drives - we were guided by Devine who was so friendly and knowledgable about the different animals and bush in general, we learnt so much. We were very lucky to have seen the big five as well as so much more.

    Unfortunately, we only had a very brief encounter with one male lion and did not see any other cats there. This is probably due to the season (we were there in April) but also the region. Areas like Sabi Sand further south have a lot more cats but accomodation is a lot more expensive there, too.

    Upon arrival, we were surprised with the news that we would be the only guests for our first night and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special one. The food was great and the hosts were just wonderful. The game drives did not disappoint either. We had a very special encounter with lots of elephants on our first drive and saw giraffes and hippos (albeit submerged) too. On following drives we added hyenas and rhinos as well as kudus, impalas and other antilopes to the list as well.

    Everything was great. We had a night without electricity due to Escom load shedding and the sudden breakdown of the generator. Generator was fixed the next morning. One remark; If the generator breaks down next time it might be good to inform the guests what is happening.

    Very friendly staff (they go the extra mile) and excellent home made food. No buffet so nu food waste. Game drives were very nice. Beautiful reserve.

    Be prepared for hidden cost such as tipping at the end of your trip. Having dinner outside by the fireplace was a lovely lovely touch however during the summer season there are too many insects so it’s hard to enjoy your dinner.

    everything was included in the one price! Our game drivers were incredible and made sure we saw loads of animals. The rooms/ lodges were insane and the chef was on top form.

    Having a food intolerance was a challenge at meal times

    The location was fantastic, not to far from airport but felt like we were in the middle of no where. Rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed to relax, pool area was great for relaxing during the day, game drives excellent with a very knowledgeable guide.

    There was no Wi-fi availability in the rooms. It was only available at the main lodge.

    The intimate atmosphere was great. It is not a big lodge, with only a few chalets. It was therefore very quiet and peaceful and all the visitors and staff got to know each other. The game viewing was superb. We were lucky to see the "big 5" on our first game drive! The food was excellent and with every meal the chef came to introduce the courses.

    Nothing

    Things started well when we were met by Lynette the manager and given a full tour of the property, including our room. On our first night, we were surprised with a candlelit veranda and bottle of fizz after our game drive, to celebrate our honeymoon, which was very special. Game drives twice daily with Moven and Paul were wonderful, with regular high quality sightings of game. Moven really went above and beyond to ensure we saw the big five, and had the opportunity to spend time enjoying our sightings, often finishing drives late to allow this. We also did a morning walk with Jason, Paul and Cunnan which was a real highlight- giving us an fascinating insight into the delicate balance of the local ecosystem, and we even sighted a leopard! The food was abundant and delicious, and the bar well stocked and good value. The nightly dinners by the fire were lovely as an opportunity to get to know our fellow guests, and we very much enjoyed being joined by Paul one evening, who was excellent company and told us lots of fascinating stories about his experiences as a guide. The rooms were huge, beautifully decorated and the bath was a delight. We cannot wait to return.

    Wonderful staff, everybody was so thoughtful. I've spent my birthday there and they made it very special. The rooms have an amazing view and at night we've heard lions near by. Javi is the best tracker, found all the animals for us. The meals were delicious. Everething was perfect! Its such a relaxing and beautiful place!! I'd certanly come back. Highly recommended. The bonus is a cute little cat on the reception!! 10/10
