The accommodation in the private villas was spacious and truly immersive in Nature. The wildebeest grazed outside the bedroom balcony in the mornings and there was plentiful game seen when driving to Kwena Lodge for meals. The food was excellent with special attention given to diverse dietary needs. The game drives were informative and our Ranger provided us with a unique interaction with lion. Be advised that the Ford Ranger vehicles, whilst fit for purpose, do not have canopies. Given the changeable weather patterns in the valley, you can get sunburnt, wet and cold during a three hour game drive. So, take warm and waterproof clothing.
