Having been to far more expensive lodges Shiduli gave us a great surprise the lodge was very comfortable with good food and very nice rooms but its major feature is the animals and the superb skills and expertise of our guide Wessel and tracker Steven. These guys had us surrounded by a pride of lions, elephants close enough to sniff... More
