  • Kids absolutely loved their time at Zebra Crossing

    It's a great place with awesome kind staff and great food, kudos to the chef and his team, the game drives and the beautiful picnic spots in between were a nice touch. My kids didn't want to leave. They loved the bicycle rides and taking walks in the hiking trails.
