7.9
Mixed sentiment: several guests felt good value for space and drives, but at least one detailed review found the experience disappointing for the price.

Many guests praise sensational and varied food (breakfast, BBQ/boma); a few reports criticize the standard buffet as limited or some dishes as underseasoned/poorly executed.

Exceptional family bush experience
Pros:

Fantastic venue for our family trip. We were well looked after. The restaurant went to do much trouble to make me feel special on my birthday. We loved the game drives we saw so many animals. Overall an unbelievable experience, we will absolutely be back.

Cons:

As we did our early morning drives in winter it was really cold. The rule 1 blanket for 2 people, I do feel that each person should get their own blanket in winter. And children particularly should get their own blankets I wasn't warned about just how cold it would get but the experience was so great it over shadowed the unpleasant temp.

Awesome experience, would definitely repeat it.
Pros:

The game drive was excellent. The driver was well informed, ready to answer and friendly.

The Boma dinner was a real african experience. The meals, the welcome drinks. Even the pots and cups used, all represented Africa. Please keep it up

Cons:

Reception and Bookings staff could be more friendly.
Double beds seemed small
