Great! This place is out of this world! So quiet, so peaceful, so magical! An amazing composition of nature, wildlife and hospitality. The elephant walk was unbelievable! These huge animals are so friendly and calming. The guide who drove us around, was knowledgeable and entertaining. The elephant keepers were experienced rangers. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

“A little piece of heaven”
Arina, Gerhard and Hanro were so helpful. They helped us so much with my elderly father. The chalets were charming and the animals friendly. They wandered around our camp and were so entertaining. It was idyllic.

“This is a very unique experience, very personal, very individual!”
This place is absolutely outstanding! The chalets were just for our use, nobody else down there for 24 hours. Hosts very friendly, open and helpful.

“A night in nature”
An amazing experience to be surrounded by nature, with only the birds,buck, ostriches,giraffes and rhinos as neighbours. Chalet is comfortable and beautiful and the kitchen was excellent, has everything you may need (oil,salt,pepper,tea,coffee,water), you only have to bring food. Sitting by the fire in the evening was the best way to end the day. We also did the elephant walk (highly recommended!!) and the game drive. Both wonderful.

“Awesome spot, great beds, views were fantastic, so quiet and relaxing”
Loved that we were out in nature. The decor was amazing, beds very comfortable. The separate kitchen had all we needed. Able to access wifi from room but better in the kitchen. Enjoyed the drive to our accommodation on the property then had an awesome game drive to admire the animals on the reserve. I also enjoyed browsing and purchasing items from their little gift shop.

“A tranquil sanctuary, where the serene beauty of nature combines exceptional service.”
I loved the remote location and the setup of the cottages. The hosts were very helpful and really made our stay extra special. It is self-catering but they provide a lot of basics and would assist if you needed anything else.

“Super stay”
Great family-run private game reserve. Arena, Gerhard and Hanro make you really feel welcome. The chalets offer all you need and the extra kitchen house makes it very practical. Also firewood and charcoal are already there. All you need is the food and drinks (water is also there). Elephant walk and game drive are special, Happy to come back when the lions are there.

The host was very friendly and worked around our uncertain arrival time. The game drive we did with Hanro was lovely and it was inspiring to see the family's dedication to the veldt and game. We booked for an overnight stay and with only two lodges on the site we had the whole place to ourselves. The facilities in the lodges and the separate kitchen were excellent. One has to self-cater and we did a braai. The highlight was spending the evening sitting in front of the fire, under the stars, all quiet and feeling part of nature - a truly unique and magical experience.
