                          From arriving at the lodge we were treated like royals. The staff is outstanding - friendly and helpful. The location is so peaceful and you can see the animals grazing from your bed! Michael Botes is a guide that we will never forget because his love for nature and his knowledge of animal behaviour, plants, trees, insects, etc. The food is outstanding! The excursions offered daily is a huge bonus and a must to attend.

                          We enjoyed our stay so much that we forgot the annoyance of being surrounded by very ordinary countrymen, tolerating the \usual\" balsamic vinegar with our salad and the lack of every concern
