We had a wonderful stay at Tenikwa. The accommodations were excellent and clean. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The animals are in beautiful condition and especially the big Male white Lion is something to see. The whole experience was quite surreal. We found the location to be perfect as we enjoyed all the various wildlife sanctuary's that seem to be situated in the same area. We also enjoyed not being in the main stream busy-ness of Plett central. The drive from Tenikwa to anywhere we wanted to go was easy and convenient. All in all our stay was a memorable and relaxing one. A highly recommended destination.
