Must-do safari experience

What a wonderful place to spend three days. Lovely people, beautiful view, great food and service. We managed to see nearly all of the game on our 5 game drives, and loved the feeling of being private in the bush.

Incredible

We had a wonderful stay at Woodberry Manor. The location in nature is wonderfully beautiful and idyllic, and the villa is very tastefully decorated and perfectly clean. Particularly noteworthy is the incredibly friendly staff. It was my birthday during our stay and I got champagne and a birthday cake, just great! Also worth mentioning are the really great safari excursions.
