Most amazing stay
5 stars can’t do it any justice. This place is just amazing. We arrived here with another couple and they enjoyed their stay as well. From beginning to end of the stay everything from staff, accommodation, attention to details, food, game drives, and the sense of community were beyond amazing. It is a quiet place to relax and enjoy nature and the animals in purest form. We have no complaints! We are already planning the next trip! We’ve traveled all over and this place tops them all! Thank you for an incredible and unforgettable stay. I hope to visit again and maybe stay a little longer this time.
