Environment, it is the place to be, definitely I go again with family

Zandile South Africa

The location is surrounded by a lot of beautiful nature and hiking trails.

Rok Slovenia

The simplicity of the park is exactly what I was seeking. I only participated in self-guided excursions and it was wonderful.

James United States of America

The cottages were very comfortable. The self catering was more than what we need. The beds are very comfortable. The view is fantastic and impalas and bush pigs are regular visitors The mosquito net is like in a 5star accommodation The staff are very friendly unlike in South African Parks. Our Wild card was accepted. The park is a must visit

Hugo United States of America

The staff were so kind and helpful. was a great location to be close to the nature and animals. The horse ride safari was the top of the stay.

Joaquim Mozambique

Lovely wildlife park with lots to see and explore. Looking forward to returning to explore and enjoying more activities.

Albert United States of America

Beautiful location in the reserve, close to nature. Really lovely. Staff were friendly, and brai at the on-site restaurant was tasty. Loved staying in the traditional beehive rooms, with deer chomping outside the door in the morning.

Jonathan United States of America

This place was incredible. The staff so so kind and accommodating. They even helped my large group book transportation to the restaurant which had amazing food and fast service. I highly recommend staying here.
