The last 3,5km from the entrance gate to the lodge are pretty adventurous, but once you are there, you will enjoy stunning views of the dam and green hills. We enjoyed the tranquility - a perfect place, if you just want to relax. You can order food, which they bring to your place. But we decided for self catering, as the kitchen is fully equipped (from stove to microwave and fridge). WiFi was good and we loved the terrace for the views! Driving to the gate in the mornings we saw some antilopes, many warthogs and a herd of buffalos.

Everything. From the moment we arrived every member of staff was friendly and accomodating. Our chalet was superb overlooking the watering hole. The pool overlooking the watering hole had a constant stream of wildlife passing all day. The spa experience was great. The menu has good variety and changed daily. The food is well prepared and portion sizes are large. Nothing is a problem for the staff Our game drives were amazing. Our jeep has 6 passengers and our ranger made sure to make us all feel like it was a personal tour. The selection of wildlife here is incredible. Every corner had something new of a different size and species. The number of each animal was huge. These are literally wild free roaming animals maintaining a life as they would in the wild. Numbers are not over curated. The night drive brings out a whole new selection of game viewings. The game drive drinks break were fantastic. We'd pull in and out ranger would have a nice selection of drinks and homemade trears to snack on but mostly had a really good interaction with the guests about the game we had just seen, what we wanted from the rest of the drive/future drives and even exploring each others lives outside of the safari. A real personal touch.

The location was excellent. I could walk to where I had to be on the Rhodes campus. The guest house is very close to the Arch/Drostdy entrance. I stayed in the self-catering flat. There is a full kitchen (stove with oven, microwave, kettle, fridge with freezer compartment, utensils, crockery, etc.). The bed was warm and comfortable with a good (hot) shower in the bathroom. There is safe parking behind a security gate and good Wi-fi.

Absolutely amazing stunningly beatiful place. Not a thing I can fault from the food, drink, staff, rooms, views or the location. And the game drives ...wow! Pooms or game ranger was amazing...such sights we experienced due to him. The little touches like having the fire lit in our room, the hot water bottles, the blankets on the game drives for the cold mornings...cannot speak highly enough
