Verified reviewexcellent

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in a secluded luxury tent with a beautiful view from the deck over the coastal forest. Prolific birdlife, great game drives and gourmet food contributed to an unforgettable experience. A highlight of our Inkwenkwezi experience was the personal attention from our very own guide Brendon who was allocated to us for the duration of our stay. We enjoyed his company and his knowledge of the wildlife, birds and trees at the game reserve. We will refer the resort to all our friends and would love to return.
