GUEST REVIEWS

“Great location just outside of Cape Town. If you don't go with the expectation of a large game reserve then you'll be disappointed but if you go with the expectation of seeing African Wildlife being looked after and protected by pure hearts then you'll have the best time!! I am definitely planning to go back!!!”

“The driver on our 2 visits into the reserve was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He went out of his way to ensure we saw plenty of animals and understood about their lives and the dangers they face.”

“The game drives were great- big shout out to our driver Tyler. He was so knowledgeable and also suggested leaving 15 minutes early for the morning drive which was such a good call- we got to see all the animal first before other trucks arrived and the animals moved on- well worth the 5.45am alarm! We stayed in the luxury cottage which was fab- ask for chalet 11- it's the closest one to the the main lodge and had a great view into the park from your back veranda (as far as I could tell not all the cottages have a view). Pool facilities were great aswell- it's not often you are sitting by the pool and get to watch 2 elephants wander past! All in all a great experience, yes not a "proper safari", but if you're in Cape Town I think it's your best and most cost effective option. We would highly recommend. ”
