The only downside to this stunning lodge is the 40km gravel road to get there, not that it is dangerous, but it just feels never-ending....But when you get there, that is when relaxation kicks in big time!!
You must go on both the game drives per day. What you don’t see in the morning, you will definitely see on the afternoon drive. The rangers are all very professional and to the point. The head ranger "Riaan" who was designated to us, was fantastic, what a real nice guy and has so much patience with children. Well done Riaan! We saw all the animals except for the Leopard, but all your drives are embedded in our memories!
Then to the friendly staff of the lodge, this is what you call 6 star service. Also a big thank you to Sune, Rooms Divisions Manager, who always were eager to go the extra mile. The menu changes every night, the food was delicious. Just enough unless you struggle again with that extra pounds. From breakfast, to high tea and then dinner, wow! you will on the other hand pick up some kilo's, but it is worth it. The room was fantastic and it was very hot while we were there, but the air cons did their job. Rooms were clean and tidy at all times, sometimes at night after dinner the room staff left a chocolate or two, fantastic customer service.
The pool area was sufficient and so relaxing. Swimming in the pool with a view like that is rare. The spa treatments is also worth your while. All in all, this is a fantastic place to unwind, relax and rejuvenate yourself accompanied by your family, what more do you need. Put this Lodge on your Bucket List!
