Établissement très agréable situé en plein cœur du parc.
L’espace commun est agréable avec une vue exceptionnelle.
Les chambres villas sont très confortables avec aussi une superbes vues.
Le staff de l’hôtel s’occupe globalement bien des invités.
Cependant nous n’avons pas eu de chance car il y a eu le feu le lendemain de notre arrivé. Nous avons du aider à éteindre les différents foyer des l’incendies et évacuer la chambre. L’hôtel ne dispose que de bassine et de petits sceaux en cas d’incendie (pas de lance à eau par exemple). C’est un gros point noir car en cas d’incendie plus important cela peut tourner mal.
Une fois fini et une demi journée de perdu la direction n’a fait aucun geste commercial. Un couple de sud africain a demander à ce que nous soyons au moins tous changer de chambre car les chambres étaient enfumés. De plus tous nos vêtements sentent le brûle.

Excellent lodge . The Park is spectacular . We were not crazy about the game ranger - very sexist and opinionated - SIMO was his name - we also got into a situation with a bull elephant and frankly handled it badly. The spa treatments were excellent . The food quality and quantity was very good indeed . Would recommend and if you get Simo as a guide just ask for a change in game ranger and it will then be a highly rated experience .

Très belle hotêllerie et restaurant de très bon niveau. Service au top comme souvent en AFS. Coté safari, moins bon que dans certaines réserves du Kruger. Pas de tracker et l'on siut la route. Les animaux sont trouvés plus par hasard qu'ils ne sont "pistés". Très peu de félins. Par contre, c'est le royaume des rhinos !!!

Prachtige villa’s , schitterend gelegen. Super schoon. Ontzettend vriendelijk personeel. Ontbijt en lunch perfect. Mooie game drives. Alleen het diner viel wat tegen voor deze 5 sterren locatie. Alle gerechten zijn al ruim van te voren bereid en op borden gedaan. Soms gedeeltelijk koud, groentes smakeloos. Wordt ook razendsnel na elkaar opgediend, binnen een half uur kun je uitgegeten zijn. Jammer.

Der Aufenthalt war toll! Das Essen war super lecker und wir haben viel gesehen und gelernt über Tiere, Pflanzen und Natur. Unser Ranger Sibo hat sich so viel Mühe gegeben und es ganz toll gemacht. Er kennt sich super aus und weiß wo er hinfahren muss und wie man Spuren liest. Er hat wirklich Adleraugen! Andere Reisende mit anderen Ranger hatten wohl weniger Glück und haben nur ganz wenig gesehen.
Was uns nicht so gefallen hat war, dass wir dass das Mittagessen gemeinsam mit den anderen Reisenden an einem großen Tisch eingenommen werden musste. Hat etwas von Zeltlagerathmosphäre.
