Unser Lodge war sehr schön, aber alles Sonstige war viel zu teuer für die angebotenen Leistungen!
Ausstattung der privaten Lodges sehr schön, cosy und gemütlich
Die Mahlzeiten am 2. Tag( Mittag- und Abendessen ) entsprachen nicht einer 5 Sterne Lodge: Mittags waren Hähnchenstreifen totgebraten und trocken, abends waren sowohl die Teller kalt als auch die sich darauf befindlichen Speisen! Es war der 1. von mehreren Game drives in andern Lodges, eo wir ohne vorherige Information für die Getränke während den Drives bezahlen mussten!!Auch wenn in einer allgemeinen Info im Zimmer stand, dass Getränke zu bezahlen wären, war daraus nicht ersichtlich, dass das auch die Game Drives beinhaltet! Außerdem hatten wir zusammen 3 Glas Rotwein, und es wurde uns eine Flasche berechnet! Auch war es ziemlich unangebracht, dass unser Ranger Brian uns immer wieder mehrmals daran erinnerte, dass man ihm Trinkgeld in bar geben könnte! Auch die Fahrkünste von Brian waren nicht überzeugend!

Brilliant lodge, staff couldn't do more
Food was excellent. Field guide knowledge and care was off the charts outstanding.
The staff could not have done more. The knowledge of Riaan made the game drives unforgettable.
