Our stay at this beautiful hotel was nothing short of exceptional, and we are truly grateful for every moment we spent there. From the very beginning, we felt incredibly well taken care of, and every detail exceeded our expectations.

The location is simply magical—nestled in the bush, offering an authentic lodge experience. Watching elephants, hippos, impalas, and monkeys right from the pool deck was surreal. The views are absolutely breathtaking and created memories we will cherish forever.

The design of the hotel deserves special praise as well. Every common space is thoughtfully curated with a beautiful African aesthetic, and we especially loved the treehouse-inspired architecture—it added such a unique and charming touch to the entire experience.

The safari experience was outstanding. Within just two days, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, which was beyond anything we had hoped for. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible guide, Abraham, whose knowledge, passion, and dedication made every game drive unforgettable.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Desmond from the Lapa restaurant. His kindness and warm personality truly stood out, and he made us feel so welcome throughout our stay. Our son Alex formed a very special bond with him, which made our experience even more meaningful.

Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable. We left with full hearts and cannot wait to return.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it.

The hotel itself is excellent, with a welcoming atmosphere and great facilities. The staff are extremely friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

There are plenty of activities available for all ages, including mini golf, volleyball, chess, a playground for children, swimming pools, and game and reading rooms. It’s perfect whether you’re traveling as a couple, with friends, or with family.

The buffet is another highlight — both breakfast and dinner offer a wide variety of options and everything is very well prepared and delicious.

The rooms are comfortable and well maintained, and the beds are especially cozy, ensuring a great night’s sleep.

Overall, it’s a fantastic hotel with something for everyone. I would definitely come back!

Die Lage des Hotels ist einmalig. Vor allem der Blick vom Pool aus auf den Sabie River.
Aber auch die Herzlichkeit der Mitarbeiter war wirklich toll. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.

Wszystko było idealnie. Niesamowity hotel, piękny wystrój, pyszne jedzenie - dziesiątki opcji, słone, słodkie, mięsa, ryby. Obsługa w hotelu jest wspaniała i niezwykle pomocna. Nie pamiętam niestety imion 😭, ale wysoki Pan z biura Safari, panie na recepcji, Pan który nas odwoził na lotnisko (chyba Fanie) - wszyscy byli cudowni. Widoki, safari, basen z widokiem na hipopotamy. Polecam każdemu!
