“Recommended for a short stay in Eswatini”
Friendly staff, takes about 20 mins to get to the Gables shopping centre. Interesting experience staying in a wildlife sanctuary. Surprisingly clean, despite all the animals around. Activities on offer usually have a minimum pax requirement. Some of the self-guided treks were not very well marked.

“Cute stay in nature with lots of animals roaming around”
I loved the location. So special to walk there with the animals around you. You have a lot of privacy in your cabin. The staff was super friendly.

“Great location, worse staff (and management) ever! Don't go there if you expect service and help”
The location is great, in the middle of beautiful nature. The cottage was also very nice, with animals in the front garden en a lot of space inside.
