“Fabulous safari, fabulous lodge!”

Reviewed 9 June 2013

A wonderful 4-day safari! We saw the big five multiple times. And the best part of seeing the many different animals is that the didn't just view the animals, we sat and watched the animals. Our guide and tracker were quite knowledgeable and enthusiastically shared their knowledge and interests with us. Thanks to Louis and Fan, our guide and tracker,... More

“Wow”

Sadly we only stayed here one night. I have spent a lot of time in private game lodges bordering the Kruger Park and this ranks among the best. Standard of accommodation was high and we managed to see lots of game during the morning and evening game drives. The dinner on the first evening was bland and uninteresting. A stark... More

“Great value”

Reviewed 30 May 2013

This lodge is a great value for being in the Sabi Sand portion. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. In fact, while I was in Johannesburg, I wanted to find the pillows that the lodge had in my room. I e-mailed them and they promptly e-mailed me back on where they got the pillows. It is such a small... More

Thank you very much for your kind review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us! I hope you came right with purchasing the pillows that we use at the lodge.
