                Wat een prachtige plek midden in de natuur; volledige rust en stilte gecombineerd met fantastische service en gastvrijheid dankzij gastheer Willem. Het eten was zalig, de game drive zeer de moeite waard, we hebben meerdere giraffen gezien onderweg. Goed om te weten is dat de lodge vrij remote ligt, via een lange gravel weg te bereiken.
