Absolutely stunning location, you can just sit and watch elephants, buffalo & warthogs strolling past! The staff also cannot do enough for you, they even made us a packed lunch on our last day as we had a 7 hour drive. Would 100% recommend.

An exceptional and intense experience in the Makuleke game reserve! We enjoyed every moment of our much too short stay, the friendliness of the staff that made us feel at home and more than welcome right from the beginning! Definitely highly recommendable!

Ein unglaubliches Erlebnis dort zu übernachten! Die einzigartige Lage, die Aussicht auf den Fluss, am Pool zu liegen und die Elefanten ziehen vorbei, einfach unglaublich. Kann die Unterkunft nur allen empfehlen muss man unbedingt gesehen haben.

Lodge authentique plein de charme avec vue magnifique sur le fleuve où les animaux viennent boire ! Chaque tente est pourvue de tout le confort ! Personnel très accueillant et souriant, on sent chez soi! Seul bémol la piscine qui a première vue à l’air sale, même si ce n’est pas le cas Les safaris sont magnifiques aussi!

Luxus im Busch
Geniale Anlage mit einem super freundlichen Team. Luxus Zelt Unterkünfte die sehr edel sind. Das Essen ist qualitativ auf einem sehr hohem Niveau. Manchmal hätte ich dann doch lieber einfach nur ein Steak gehabt mit Pommes, aber das natürlich Geschmacksache. Das wichtigste sind meiner Meinung nach die Game Drives und diese waren zu 100% ihr Geld wert. Morgens um 6 Uhr los, 4 Stunden auf Pirschfahrt durch den Busch und abends um 16 Uhr ebenfalls 4 Stunden. Da wir den Vergleich haben zu günstigeren Lodges / Game Drives haben, sehe ich hier den erhöhten Preis als vollkommen gerechtfertigt. Dieses Reserve liegt im Norden und ist anscheinend Hotspot für Leute die auf Vögel stehen. Kenne mich da nicht so aus, mir wurde nur von den Gästen erzählt das man hier seltene Vögel beobachten kann. Zusammengefasst kann ich sagen, 2 Nächte hier und wir haben mehr Tiere (in extremer Nähe) gesehen als in anderen Lodges oder bei Fahrten mit unserem eigenen Auto durch den Park. Beste Zeit für Vögel und Ruhe (Game Drives haben wir alleine gemacht) Januar-März. Für Big 5 eher ab Juni - Dezember, danach wandern die Tiere in den Süden. Unser Driver Adele ist der beste Mann überhaupt. Immer gut drauf und versucht wirtlich alles um die Wünsche der Gäste zu erfüllen.
