Everything was perfect. Except, if only they had a cot and feeding chair for our 15 month grandson... Love the privacy, and quite close to Hluhluwe gate. Would recommend this place.

This is such an amazing house, in the perfect location. We didnt get to see the giraffe but there were other game roaming around past the house. Its truly a place to let down your guard, relax and rejuvenate.
