Das war unser bester Aufenthalt in Südafrika! Die Villa ist wunderschön.
Wir haben genossen, dass wir in dem Park zu Fuss unterwegs sein konnten, was in anderen Parks eher nicht möglich war.

This was our best stay in South Africa! The villa is beautiful.
We enjoyed that we could walk in the park, which was not possible in other parks.

Geweldige tijd gehad hier. Accommodatie ligt midden in wildpark. Tijdens onze wandelingen stonden we meerdere keren oog in oog met de giraffe familie die door het park wandelen. Unieke locatie om te verblijven ook relatief dicht bij het Hluhluwe park waar we direct ook de neushoorn hebben gespot. Van alle gemakken voorzien. Een feest om hier te verblijven.

Had a great time here. Accommodation is in the middle of a wildlife park. During our walks we stood several times face to face with the giraffe family walking through the park. Unique location to stay also relatively close to the Hluhluwe park where we immediately spotted the rhino. Fully equipped. A party to stay here.
