- "We liked everything! The location is perfect for Game Drives and the view from the lodge is breathtaking. The staff went above and beyond and the food was simply out of this world. We have travelled a lot and this food is by far the best we have ever had! 😋 Our stay was magical, there is nothing I would change. I have a feeling we will be back 😉" - "Stunning location, nestled in the private Karongwe reserve. Comfortable bed in a beautiful room with everything we could wish for. Delicious breakfast and creative meals throughout our stay, we loved the boma braai and the location perched high above the river bed where we saw rhino and lions. Incredibly friendly staff and team who went above and beyond, even buying us yoga matts especially for us. Safari-wise we’d seen the Big5 within 36hrs of arriving and saw them multiple times during our stay. Every game drive was packed with sightings and Patrick & Mandla were kind and knowledgeable."
