Guest Reviews:
- "The breakfast is okay but I didn’t like the fact that it’s the same breakfast everyday we could use some variety." - "We did like peace and fresh air also Neatness" - "The stuff was very nice n welcoming" - "Despite the amazingly rocky and bumpy road to enter the facility, as soon as we walked through the entrance, we felt like we entered a true paradise. From the warm greeting from Sabelo, the beautiful lodge room we had, the amazing dinner that was prepared for us each evening, our stay was beyond expectation. The staff ensured we had everything we needed for our morning and night safari adventures, and Sabelo ensured we had other options for gate entry into Kruger as well when gates were full. The always positive and helpful staff showed true hospitality from start to finish, and this stay was one of the biggest highlights of our trip."
