Very few places are now available in the world where you can stay, at a good price, and get the experience of being treated well by friendly staff and be so close to the natural world which is on the "doorstep". Accomodation (in tents) is superb with all all reasonable facilities having been considered and provided for the guests. Highly recommended for those interested in the (sadly declining) natural world who want to experience part of Africa's fantastic heritage before it disappears.

Leider viel Regen. Dadurch wenige Tiere gesehen, auch weil der Busch zu hoch und dicht bewachsen.

Das Hauszelt im Busch war sehr schön eingerichtet. Hilfsbereites Personal. Die Game Drives mit kundigem Guide sehr schön. Lwider kaum Elefanten gesehen. Ein Löwenrudel entschädigte das Vermissen anderer Tierarten.
