Super prestations mais safari game décevant
Proprete irréprochable. Bel endroit au milieu de la brousse avec un point d’eau pour attirer les animaux. Tres bons repas et breakfast. Nous avons ete decus par le safari game lodge en 3 heures nous avons vu quelques elephants et girafes, quelques hyene, 1 rhinocéros tout de même. Aucun fauve a part 1 lion de très loin car 5 voitures dessus. Notre guide a beaucoup tourné sans plus de succès. Franchement pour le prix nous sommes très déçus a ce niveau car nous avons vu beaucoup plus d’animaux au parc gouvernemental bien moins cher. Si vous cherchez le confort ok mais pour les animaux la reserve semble bien pauvre.

Fantastic unforgettable experience. Everything was looked after so well. Fabulous game drives. David was fantastic. Delicious food. Recommend the place to anyone who wants a superlative Safari experience .

Bel posto, bella atmosfera. Ma il lodge avrebbe bisogno di un po' più di cura nei dettagli e soprattutto di una migliore organizzazione. Colazione, pranzo e cena andrebbero sicuramente migliorati...ovviamente il tutto rapportato al prezzo che si paga: per circa 700-800€ al giorno, aldilà dei safari, ci si aspetta qualcosa in più.

The HIGHLIGHT of any trip to the Bush - the safari! What makes the difference of the safari is the lodge you stay with. I give a 100/100 score to Baobab Ridge. see my full review at https://www.tripadvisor.com.sg/ShowUserReviews-g471857-d2042245-r667630715-Baobab_Ridge-Klaserie_Private_Game_Reserve_Kruger_National_Park.html

Um sonho de lugar com uma equipe incrível!
Excelente hotel, com ótima localização. A equipara era muito atenciosa, especialmente o Jason que fez de tudo para que fosse uma viagem memorável. O hotel é um sonho, o pessoal que lá trabalha nem se fala. O motorista das games rides (David) foi incrível. Realmente, me senti em casa longe de casa. Voltarei mais vezes para esse maravilhoso local.
