Pleasant

Stunning location - just wish they focussed a bit more on detail to make it a 5star experience as it can be - everything

Location is amazing!!!

It is lacking some attention to detail - for 5star there is definitely place for improvement- detail are missed

Very good

A beautiful resort, excellent game drives but restaurant service needs to improve.

The game drives with Lucky were superb. The locations and views are spectacular. The restaurant service was hit and miss.

Restaurant service was hit and miss. When Lona and Sammy were serving it was excellent but when they were off it was very poor. Management were not visible or available to check that we were happy with everything.

Great game reserve

Staff were friendly and helpful when you asked. Accommodation is spread out and private so there isn't any overlooking from anyone. Three meals a day and drinks provided. 3 very decent portion sized meals each day. Views are fabulous over the land and although we didn't see many animals at the lodge it was lovely. Communal seating areas very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Tents are a great size with decking and outdoor seating area. A bath and shower both available. The bed was very comfortable and a electric blanket as well as log bruner available for colder evenings. Turn down service and soft dressing gowns available. The game drives were very professional and an amazing experience! So much to see and the ranger Eric was excellent, really made the game drives exciting and fun. You get drinks and some snacks on the game drive. The staff also assist with walking you to and from rooms.

Food was on the whole good. On one occasion not all starter dishes were brought out at the same time & meant we couldn't all eat together. A few times we had empty glasses and weren't checked on or offered more. It was disappointing as most tables were empty so we felt they could have been more attentive. Unfortunately we weren't able to access any of the additional options e.g. massage or star gazing. We were offered these on arrival and didn't receive a further update after we registered interest unless we had asked . The spa option had to wait until the next day to know.if there was availability - not sure what format they use but it was disappointing to wait so long before finding out it wasn't possible.
