Verified reviewexcellent

Fantastic lodge with beautiful views and excellent service. Highlights are the beautiful landscape, different vegetation vs other game reserves and an abundance of bird life, less the classical big 5 game viewing given the density of vegetation which makes viewing often difficult.

The service was great, game drives were wonderful. There was no water when we arrived until the next morning which was dissapointing for a 4*
