“What a fabulous stay! From the moment we arrived we knew we made the best choice. Neil & Ezelle greeted us (along with Luna & Missy, the lodge pets) after Kenneth picked us up at the airport & treated us to a view of elephants & their young traveling roadside. Our villa surpassed our expectations. We enjoyed an afternoon of watching Impala, warthogs, birds & giraffe play & enjoy the watering hole just beyond our deck! And the food and service was excellent. Lovely & interesting choices at every meal. Our Ranger, Kenneth & tracker, Max were exceptional! They were knowledgeable, attentive, entertaining & wow, Max knows how to entertain in the bush by cooking up fresh game & serving cocktails Our thanks to each & every person who made our stay so enjoyable!”

“I almost don't want to write this because for my own selfish reasons I want this place to stay under the radar. However, they deserve to have their phone ringing off the hook w reservations, so: From the moment I booked our reservation, the service was amazing. I had direct communication with the reservation desk regarding our preferences & any needed transportation bookings. We drove ourselves (4hrs) and the directions they gave were PERFECT every step of the way. And then as soon as we stepped on the property, we were so well taken care of by every single member of the staff. Yes, the property is gorgeous & intimate, the food is delicious and plentiful (Amos is the best!), and the location unbeatable (so quiet & peaceful, AND you've got zebras and elephants walking past your window- can't beat that). But what really makes this place special are the people that work there. They have such a respect and appreciation for the bush and their community, and a passion for sharing it with the guests. They will truly go out of their way to provide a personalized experience & make you feel like you are just visiting friends in their home. I swear- they must've seen a million rhino/elephant/cheetah pictures by now, but every time you show them one they get just as excited as you are :) I really can't wait to go back and share this special place with other special people in my life. The game viewing is great, even though we went during off season. Our guide (Doc) is an encyclopedia of flora & fauna. There is no question he couldn't answer. I didn't bring children, but I know that it is also very family & child friendly if you do want to bring your kids.”
