Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly, especially for my wife’s birthday. All positives, no negatives. Loved the cheetahs.

a very natural and unspoilt reserve with an abundance of wildlife, opportunities to get very close up and personal with rhinos and cheetahs, experiences not to forget....the service was great and the food was impeccable, nothing could be faulted....
