- "Carol and Nigel have a stunning game lodge. We had an incredible time over four nights. They have included a number of little touches that elevate your stay and experience and have created a lodge of quiet luxury, that is embedded within the bush. You can see animals from your balcony! Our guide, Given, was phenomenal. He has an incredible knowledge of animals and birds and is such a fun guide. He has so much to teach and was amazing at finding and tracking animals. We saw the Big Five, but importantly, saw so much more beyond that. The lodge staff really value conserving the nature and animals around, and truly respect the animals. It was truly an unforgettable experience in the bush. The front of house staff, Crescent, Glorify and Veronica were incredible. They were so kind, thoughtful and personable. They made us feel so welcome and at home. The food was also amazing - we were blown away by the variety and quality of the food. An unforgettable five days and an experience of a lifetime."

- "Best camp ever! Amazing experience." - "As someone who spent HOURS looking for the right camp, I can't express in words how AMAZING this place was!! I was so pleased to have booked it for me and my partner. First of all, the camp can only accomodate 10 people, so it felt very personalized and intimate. The staff was overly gracious and kind, and did everything to meet our needs. We stayed in the luxury tent, and highly recommend. You were even more removed from the camp and that was beyond intimate. As an LGBT+ couple, we felt safe to be ourselves and we appreciated it. Angela, the game drive guide, was EXCEPTIONAL. Loved every game drive we had with her. Lastly, we saw FOUR of the Big 5, and even saw a herd of elephants at the onsite water hole. It was one of the most magical experiences of our lives. Would highly highly recommend. 15/10!!"

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.
