Verified reviewexcellent

Very nice tents with great views and sounds of nature. The restaurant had some great food as well. The game drive we did was incredible. Had rhino come right up to the vehicle and then walk iff again. Saw so many amazing animals.

This was my fiance's first time in Africa and we had the most amazing time. The game guides were super knowledgable and kept us facinated with really interesting info about the animals (like where tortoises go when it rains). The food was amazing and the accommodation spectacular. We are hoping to come back again very, very soon.
