Verified reviewexcellent

We had a fantastic stay here. The lodge and amenities were comfortable and thoughtfully designed but for us, the highlight was the service. Renee, Tembeni and Staci were attentive and patient and ensure that all Covid protocols were being followed and respected. The food was amazing and our only complaint was that we ate too much! :). The lodge is smaller, which suited us perfectly. It felt much more intimate and like we had the place to ourselves. Keegan was a phenomenal and knowledgeable guide and we had some breathtaking sightings. We will definitely return as soon as possible.
