Heavon on earth
Absolutely amazing trip to destress from reality. Upon arrival into the pongola nature reserve whilst still driving to our destination we were greeted by numerous giraffe buck and warthogs. It was really amazing to see the giraffe so close. Once we got in to the cabin it was heavon. We went in peak summer so the aircons were amazing. One tip carry water and dishwashing liquid. The water was not potable ,all the water is brown even in the shower. U need water to drink and for the kettle. Cleaning services are at an extra charge however if you are going for 2 or 3 nights you dont need a clean up just dishes to wash. Bring the sunlight as the soap here is very watered down. Other than that the place is truly heavon

Traumhafte Lage mit Blick auf das Gamereserve, See und dahinterliegende Berge. Gut ausgestattetes und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Safarizelt, bequeme Betten. Wir haben an einer Riversafari teilgenommen, die sehr schön aber nicht gerade kostengünstig war.

Très bel endroit avec une vue exceptionnelle. Malheureusement nous avons rencontré quelques problèmes sui ont gâché notre séjour à l’établissement. Beaucoup de cafard dans le logement et cela jusque dans le lit. Et pour couronner le tout, visite de chauve-souris dans la chambre en pleine nuit…

Absoluut mooi gelegen glamping, midden in reservaat! Minder duidelijk op voorhand is dat je al 30min rijdt van aan de gate op een dirtroad, dus niet zo makkelijk om de accomodatie te verlaten. Honesty shop heeft wel wat bieden maar zou fijn zijn als die later open is. Voor de rest alles prima en zeker aan te bevelen!

Glamping im Game Reserve
Mitten in einem Game Reserve an einem Staudamm stehen einsam diese sehr großen Zelte für bis zu 5 Personen; mit vollausgestatter Küche und - habe ich schin erwähnt? - viel Platz. Von dem großen Balkon mit Grill hat man einen wunderbaren Ausblick. Es werden Safaris auf dem Boot angeboten! Und nicht vergessen: Essen selbst mitbringen und was schönes grillen, denn ein Restaurant gibt es nicht.
