The buffet meals were so delicious. The bed slept like a dream and the guided tours were the best. Kudos to Trevor for being so good to us on the safari, he is very friendly and really cares about the animals.

All meals were ok. The accommodation (Karoo Cottage) was fantastic, we wish we stayed an extra night. The staff were great also. Would highly recommend for anyone as an entry to safari.

Daniel United Arab Emirates

The views were beautiful, clean, up to data, easy to navigate, always easy to find a staff member when needed

Samantha United States of America

Absolutely loved the experience all in all. Loved the Safari drives, (shout out to Marlon?). Great to have experienced two drives and we got to spot a lot of animals. The pool area was relaxing and plenty of lounge chairs. The inclusive buffet had good varieties with healthy selections. Also enjoyed star gazing in the evening. The property was very clean.

Bliss Australia

It’s Just Amazing, to see such a jewel of a place middle of wildlife. Such care/love went into this place.

Raffaella United States of America

Facilities were clean and comfortable, although infrastructure was of a moderate standard. Rooms have everything you need to be comfortable, but no fancy extras. Spa and pool were relaxing and peaceful.

Gregory United States of America

Great game drive experience, our safari guide John was excellent.
