So nice with friendly staff. Game drive with Nikolaas was the highlight. The stay was so pleasant. Nice big well equipped lapa with gas braai for breakfast and braai. We were a group of people and here we had a great time around a big table.

So lekker met vriendelike staff. Wildsrit met Nikolaas was die hoogtepunt. Verblyf was so aangenaam. Lekker groot goed toegeruste lapa met gasbraai vir ontbyt en braai. Ons was 'n groep mense en hier het ons om 'n groot tafel heerlik gekuier.

Excellent, will come again. Very nice and peaceful, animals came to visit the lodge every day and we had a breathtaking game drive with elephants and rhinos. Great service.

Uitstekend, sal weer kom. Baie lekker en rustig, diere elke dag by die lodge kom kuier en 'n asemrowende lekker wildsrit met olifante en renosters gehad. Puik diens.

Relaxing, amazing birdlife. We absolutely loved our stay, felt very welcome. The braai facilities and braai areas were perfect. The team, Gift, Paulina, and Fifi were the best. The house was super clean. We will definitely be visiting again!

Comfortable house. Lapas and pool are wonderful. Good service! We had a very nice stay! Accommodation is spacious and neat.

Gerieflike huis. Lapas en swembad is wonderlik. Goeie diens! Ons het baie lekker gebly! Akkommodasie is ruim en netjies.

Fantastic place to stay in nature. Very comfortable place to stay, quiet and peaceful in nature. Animals moving around and on the property create a good atmosphere of being in the bushveld. The host and people go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The free game drives per day and ice cream are a big plus. Will definitely come and stay here again.

Fantastiese verblyfplek in die natuur. Baie gerieflike blyplek, stil en rustig in die natuur. Diere wat om en op die perseel beweeg, skep 'n goeie atmosfeer van in die bosveld. Die gasheer en mense gaan uit hulle pad om jou verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Die gratis wildritte per dag hou en ys is 'n groot pluspunt. Sal definitief weer hier kom oorbly.

A comfortable weekend getaway in the bush. The game drives are a nice bonus. It's a lovely getaway with comfort.

'n Gerieflike naweek wegbreek in die bos. Die wildsritte is 'n lekker bonus. Dit is 'n heerlike wegbreek met gerief.
