"Loved, loved this place. Just far enough from the beaten path to allow for peace and quiet (well, except for lions roaring in the morning, birds chirping, and antelopes checking everything out). Close enough to Hoedspruit for good food, Safari Rides, Jessica the Hippo, everything you could want. The grounds are stunning and you can walk for quite awhile enjoying the beauty of 24 degrees! I highly recommend staying here."
