Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beautiful game reserve with all the amenities for cycling and hiking. They also have a nice pool and a tennis court. The food was very good and the luxury tent where we stayed was very comfortable, with an outdoor hot tub that was very pleasant. A perfect place to do some sports or just relax in the middle of nature.
