The big five is here and we were lucky enough to see all 5. Lots of game and animals. The reserve is very well kept and managed. Perfectly clean ablution facilities are found within the reserve. Exquisite views of nature in the reserve. This is the future of game reserves in South Africa!

To touch and interact with real live leopards was an amazing experience! Wonderful animals and absolute beautiful to see from close up. Very friendly but never take a chance with wild animals> Interesting facts around rehabilitation and saving of this exquisite specie! A must to experience when in our area!

The only one of the Big Five that kept away was the leopard, we were lucky to have a close up of a herd of water buffalow, although at the time we wished perhaps that they wre a little further away! Sightings were made of lion, rhino ,hippos and many more, including vultures near a lion kill.

We went with friends for three days over the Christmas period and had a fabulous time, the staff really did us proud, the accommodation was excellent as were the game drives and the food,. A very friendly atmosphere, we enjoyed it so much we are booked to return there in May.

Fantastic diversity and high density of game. We saw Lions all the time and lots of all the plains game. The White Rhinos are shaved - thanks to the bloody poaching. Bumpy roads make the game drives a bit rough.

Even if you never saw an animal ...and you will! This is such a pretty Game Reserve with such variety of scenery. Tiny little rutted tracks in the bush and then suddenly you arrive at ooen savannah. Streams and pools rocks and grasses it's all there! The animals look very very fit and well. Giraffe and zebra gleam with health.... More

Large enough not feel like a living zoo and well stocked with the big 5. Great views and good mix of scenery.
