    Everything was excellent, no complaints.

    The food was wonderful, and the location, with the wild lions surrounding you, is just fantastic.

    We booked the superior chalet the kitchen was shared kitchen I didn’t like that . The shared lounge and kitchen needs some upgrades and the pool area for the chalets also needs upgrades. None the less the host was the best💞

    The other side of the property where they have a bar and 2 pools was nice and feedings of lions was super nice

    Maybe cause they are short staffed. The areas was not properly cleaned but the place has a lot of potential if it was consistently cleaned.

    The staff and the food. The animals too.

    I didn't like the fact that I had to pay a full price for half the experience, we had to leave without eating breakfast due to power cut and no water.

    We had to upgrade to another room in the main building and it was lovely with great views of the lions. Unfortunately we had no electricity in the night and morning as well a water. The place generally is lovely but what is shown on the old site is not price compatible.

    The only thing I disliked about my stay there was that it had to come to an end .

    My stay was exceptional, I really enjoyed. Seeing those lions just a metre away was amazing .

    I didn't like the fact that there was no note on the main gate to direct guests on what to do upon arrival. The bush has zero signal to make contact. It will help a great deal to communicate to guests on what to do upon arrival. I stood on the gate for a while before realising that I can just push it open.

    I liked the scenery and the location away from the day to day life. Smally, Teacher and Mercy were amazing and attended to most of our needs

    The gravel road leading to place because I was driving a sedan but not bad at all

    I would like to appreciate the two ladies and the gentleman who always prepared the fire for us great service, also the breakfast in the morning, and the lions makes it feel like you are in a safari. Very peaceful and a great place away from city bazz.

    The activities could be given some more attention to get them attractive more.

    The place is situated well 8n the bushes. Great for pair of couples or friends. Charlets are nice and clean. The sound of the lion's during the night is epic. Staff is amazing (Smolly and Mercy) Definitely going back again during winter.

    I did not like the false advertising regarding the rooms. Chalets are different from what the advertisement shows, which is the lodge room. There should be a picture of the chalet.

    Loved the room I upgraded to at the main lodge. And The staff was friendly.

    *Lodge looked a bit deserted, not the cleanest * issues with drainage system was unpleasant * fridge not in the room (we ask the host to put a bar fridge in our room and she did exactly that 🫡) *shared kitchen, a bit inconvenient *consider solar panels for load shedding *

    The lodge is in secluded area 🦁🐅🐆Big cats in the lodge, could see the lions from our room, sounds of the animals at night was amazing

    It is a oversell and what is available, correctly defined. There is no restaurant as per the definition of the restaurant. Private road to Lodge in poor condition and Lodge need to be better maintained

    Self catering cannot be done with a kitchen like that. Needs a complete makeover and equipping to make a comfortable stay. Get a full stove with oven. Lighting around the chalets needs attention. Minor attention inside the chalets is required to brighten them up and uplift guests mood eg lighter colors inside. Finally...consider activities such as quad biking and improve target shooting experience.

    Very accessible, quiet, and well laid out lodge. Lots of cats to see. Very friendly staff. Lovely chalets and swimming pools.
