  • Lovely place to stay

    Lovely place to stay. Quiet. Amazing view over the valley. Game drives in the truck provided a sighting of many different animals. Host was helpful in directions and providing more gas for the truck. Saw rhino, elephant, giraffes, many different types of deer and jackals and birdlife. Beautiful place to calm the soul.
