Being one of the newest game lodges in Greater Kruger, it has top-notch facilities, including very nice, even luxury, tents. For example, the electrical and electronic connections in them were better than the five star hotels we stayed in. Game drive guides and vehicles also outstanding. And the food, which is included, was gourmet.

Cannot think of anything to criticize. Of course, they do wake you up at 5:00 a.m. to go on the game drives, but whether one gets up and goes see the animals in their habitat is optional.
