Outstanding. The staff are amazing, I think everyone does an incredible job and we did have the best of the best from the manageress welcoming us, the brilliant chef, fantastic concierge who looked after us to our top dog game driver who is the cream of the crop. I can’t wait to come back, bringing family too. Love the pool - kept super clean x

I love this place! It's newly-reopened after a huge overhaul and the initial attractions for me are great food, wonderfully friendly staff and a 20m swimming pool. The added bonus is that it’s all solar powered. The main lodge is lovely with big squishy sofas where you can chill between game drives and meal times.
