COMMENTS /REMARKS:
Perfect lodge with excellent location. Lodge enjoys excellent views of Sabie River. The open safari vehicles are probably the best that I have seen. There are places in the vehicles that can easily fit a bottle of water. Vehicles can only accommodate 6 clients at a given time and each client will have a pouch/pocket attached to the seat in front where clients are able to store personal belongings whilst out on game drives. Each client will in future receive a bird book, mammal book as well as a pair of binoculars for their use during the game drive.
The rooms are huge with inviting bathrooms and private lounge area which comes well equipped with individual satellite television and in room mini bar. For those really balmy days, private plunge pools are available.
The staffs are so friendly and helpful that the only complaint that a client could have is that the stay was not long enough.
Attention to detail is evident and plays a very important role.
Opulence and luxury at its best in the bush.
