Private and intimate

Service, location, food, game-drives all very good. Staff very friendly. Setting fitting for surroundings. Not commercialised - very private & intimate for small group.

Intimate atmosphere

Magnificent view and location, very helpful staff, wonderful food. Due to the size of the campus, only a maximum of about 14-16 guests can stay there. We were there at 8 during our time. The small size is the biggest luxus in the lodge.

Great personal touch

The staff was very friendly - the food was delicious - really a TOP chef present here. They asked what we wanted, what the children would like - that's all you can ask for. The view, while you eat, makes it even better - this is a 10/10!
