Fantastic Experience
Incredible experience. All staff and guides are so friendly and approachable. Our guide (Jabu) and tracker (Wanted) are incredibly knowledgeable and fun to be with. All are so passionate about their lodge and ensuring an unforgettable experience.

Absolutely outstanding from start to finish and worth every penny of the price tag. The game viewing was the best we have seen on safari, spotting the Big 5 in just one morning and even licking out to find a pride of lions eating a giraffe. Our guide Joe was one of the best we’ve had across Africa, as was his tracker. Lindawei on the service staff was so helpful and friendly and felt like family by the time we left. Beautiful lodge, spectacular food, and amazing people. This place will forever have a place in my heart. Thank you everyone who who made our stay a memory of a lifetime.

I booked this as a last-minute trip and couldn't have made a better choice! The staff and guides are so friendly and welcoming, food is phenomenal, and I can't even begin to describe the experience of sitting on your private balcony watching elephants and other animals wander by the river in the afternoon. We saw the "Big 5" and then some!
