"The picture showing the pool has NO water in it. If you book breakfast you won’t get any Power went off for 2 days, after 18 hrs they managed to get a generator, that they ran for 2.5 hrs didn’t communicate that they would turn it off at 9.10pm, so no air con charging phones or camera for safaris, can’t even make a cup of tea. Next day it was off all day again till about 6pm. Couldn’t communicate anything. They did not speak/ or would not speak English. Yet anything you asked for they understood...

"The people working there was nice, welcoming and helpful, but thats about the only positive quality it had. There was an A/C but it didnt work, power socket didnt work, not even a toilet seat.. it's R150 for a basic toilet seat it's not much to ask for in a room. There was a large amount of dust in the room, to a point you could feel it coming down from the roof while you were laying in bed. The place looks like it might have been nice 10 years ago but hasnt seen a day of maintanance in years....
