“Amazing!”

“Great people; overpriced?”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

Location and people are great. Our guide Francois was a wealth of knowledge. To get there u need to spend 1.5 hrs on dirt roads that are pretty rough; not sure why they don't pay to tar them. Also, for the price es paid, paying extra for water and non-alcoholic drinks is a bit sloppy. The room service was also... More

Thank you so much for your constructive feedback. I applogize for the bad 30km dirt road that you had to drive to get into the Molatedi gate. This road is unfortunately a municipal road and not a part of our beutiful game reserve. After the rain we have had it is truly not the best road with a sedan as... More

“Too good to remain the best kept secret”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

If i woke in the dream it was just to see the 50 elephants in the lodge waterhole. The game drives were each more exciting than the last and Thomas smiled and seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. I couldn't have imagined i would be so close to all the fantastic wildlife, only a short and thrilling... More
