Lett å anbefale :-)
Veldig hyggelig og veldrevet lodge. Totalt 8 bungalower av meget god standard med usjenert terrasse mot naturen. God mat, og flotte safari-turer med kunnskapsrik guide. Vi så Big Five og mange flere dyr. Kun gjester fra denne lodgen som gjør safarier i området, hvilket betyr at man ikke føler at det mer turister enn dyr...Eneste negative er at det er 4-5 timers kjøring fra Durban.
