    The table reserving by numbers in the inside dining area was crazy - just do it all on first come first served! Disappointed at wasted energy eg lights on in bright sunlight and amount of plastic packaging used

    Location, location, location!! Horse riding safari, on other safaris our guide Mandela was outstanding.

    There are only 2 elephants and 2 lions at the whole reserve which is quite big. We couldnt find them.

    Amazing getaway for a honeymoon. The activities were nice, the rooms were spacious and very fancy, the food was exceptional!!

    The food was good, but there weren't many options.

    I had an amazing stay at [Hotel Name] in [Location]! Despite the winter cold, the room was cozy with every detail thoughtfully designed. The hotel's atmosphere was inviting, and I loved the activities like the safari and horse riding – they were totally my vibe. A monkey even visited my balcony, and the view with all the animals was incredible. Highly recommend for a unique and enjoyable getaway! حلال كل فلس عليه، الفندق ولا غلطة.

    Incredible location for a night or two with some excellent food with a feeling of quiet isolation

    • Deluxe Tent Suite
    • Stayed 1 night

    The wildlife felt a little more like a safari park (Longleat) than other private reserves I have been too, and also the spa had recently burned down. It certainly caters for the 'volume' end of the market with very large numbers of day visitors possible which detracts from the feeling of isolation. Breakfast and lunch were excellent but the dinner menu was more disappointing sadly.

    The most incredible location located on a hill above the river which affords incredible views from the bar / dining area and the rooms alike. Rooms are newly refurbished with some of the best bath / shower views I've seen in a long time.

    This place is a dream. We booked the deluxe tented suite and it did not disappoint. The outdoor shower, balcony, fireplace, bed, layout, everything was perfect. The game drives were amazing and we saw 4 out of the big 5 in 2 days!!! The massages were absolutely incredible. Thanks to Collen for looking after us and Mandela for the informative and entertaining game drives. Angelique and Maria at the Spa were amazing. The staff are amazing and make your stay very comfortable.

    Being a bit elderly, some steps to get into the game drive vehicles would have been helpful. We were fortunate tgat we were at the tpp of the hill butbour friends accomodation no,11 was at the bottom. Some warning of the steepness on the website might be appreciated.

    Everything was great our guide Mandela was very knowledgable and took us to amazing places to see the animals

    My room was far, and when i call to ask for a golf car the answer was its not for guests just for the luggage, the person answerd me was rude, The water pressure in the bathroom was a little bit low Next time I will book a trip without an accommodation.

    The Safari trip was nice , not that much animals to see, if you book a trip make sure to your guide is Simba 🫶🫶 Also i would like to thanks for the free room upgrade ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I was a bit pricy considering everything need to bay for but was a good experience.

    I had one night in the suite for our honey moon which was cool. I had a safari trip in the afternoon and saw 3 out of the big 5 animals. The next day I went on the horse ride safari both were extra charge which I enjoyed alot. The foods were good ,and staff were helpful.

    It was raining before going to the game drive and we couldn’t see more animals and the hotel shouldn’t have us to go on drive while they know that animals normally hide because of rain

    The tent was just in front of the forest where you can see Impalas and elephants and there is outdoor shower
