Outstanding

Everything about Hillsnek was too great for words. It was my very first time on safari ever so I didn’t know what to expect, but exceeded all expectations. The pictures were promising already but let me tell you - you will be absolutely blown away when you get there.

Incredible place

The staff are so friendly and attentive, especially Renzo and our ranger Keegan

The rooms (tents) are spacious, private with wonderful views across the reserve (we watched 2 lions stalking from our bed)! The food was world-class, especially the breakfast. The decor is beautiful, with great attention to detail with lots of small surprises along the way. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
