Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Er zijn veel betere opties in dit gebied.
Was de tegenvaller van de reis. Kleine kamers, geen kast op iets in te hangen. De minste lodge die we in 20 jaar in Zuid-Afrika in de Greater Kruger Aera hebben bezocht. Ook zeer slechte aanduiding naar de lodge. Voor ons een éénmalig bezoek.

nettes Gästehaus, Zuwegung nicht ganz einfach
wir hatten mit der Zufahrt Probleme, da uns das Navi falsch geschickt hat, die Unterkunft und Gesamtanlage sind sehr schön, Personal freundlich, Verpflegung zu buchen ist von Vorteil
