Wir hatten das Superior Zimmer, das ist ein kleines Häuschen neben dem Haupthaus. Es ist ein super schönes Zimmer. Es gibt sogar neben einer Badewanne, eine Innen- und eine Aussendusche. Die Anlage ist sehr schön und ruhig, der Pool herrlich. Man kann schon vom Frühstückstisch aus Tiere beobachten. Die Lodge befindet sich innerhalb des eingezäunten Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, so dass man dort seine eigene kleine Safari machen kann. Alles ist super sauber, das Personal ist sehr freundlich und das Essen einfach topp! Wir würden jedem Halbpension empfehlen, da man im Dunkeln nicht mehr so gerne Auto fährt und das Dinner wirklich großartig ist! Ein super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis! Wir haben uns so wohl dort gefühlt! Wir werden wiederkommen!!!!
