Honestly I think the images under sell it, once you get there it is magical, little paradise in the bush. I wish I could have stayed longer. They respect guest and the facilities are good.

Ivan South Africa

The staff was very helpful, I'm not much of a nature person but i definitely had a change of heart. I enjoyed the quietness.

Tina South Africa

Beautiful tent! Great bed and bathroom. You hear lions at night from the nearby lion park. Animals roam freely and we had many visitors. This is an incredibly peaceful place that is close to two Kruger gates. We highly recommend staying here when visiting the area. Staff are friendly and clean the pool and firepit everyday.

Vincent South Africa

Great value for money Great experience and close to everything you want and need. will surly go again

Louis South Africa

there was nothing more we could ask for except aircon for the 39° days. the pool was a lifesaver. we will definitely recommend it to our friends and visit again.

Rob South Africa

All Staff members including the Lady who did the cleaning was exceptional. You can see that every Employee, in particular the Lady who did the cleaning for us takes ownership of what they do. They are proud of their job and environment. She is friendly and very helpful. The fact that I received WhatsApp communications from the day that I booked until Departure is excellent service and communication.

Nerien South Africa

The hotel room feel within a tent. Clean, spacious. Private.. showers where fantastic. Beds so comfortable. Private splash pool was perfect. It was lovely having the Animals walking around our camp .. Well equipped kitchen. Cherry on top was the fantastic service. Didnt get any names. But they where wonderful. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Farzana South Africa
