WOW. What a beautiful camp. Our lodge was large with everything we needed: bath, shower, cupboard space, a fridge, mosquito net. The chef made such wonderful meals, especially at dinner! We really did look forward to eating. Staff are friendly and can offer a range of activities for your stay. We particularly enjoyed a solo game drive culminating in drinks by the hippo hole, and a bush walk where we learned about animal tracks and survival in the bush, and found some giraffes as a bonus! This camp is teeming with wildlife and the perfect find for our safari getaway.

Absolutely top notch! Nothing too much trouble for the host Anita. Food was sensational and I’ve definitely piled some extra pounds on. Rooms were lovely and authentic with small private patio area. Sleep to the sounds of lions, take a game drive and see giraffes and be kept awake by naughty baboons!
