5 guests' feedbackThe place to stay was very nice. We would like to drive around the reserve with our children to look at animals. We are not allowed to go on a game drive as they are under 8 years old.
Great location, friendly staff, quiet nature. I would recommend the accommodation to my friends and family. Please be aware of the low drift bridge in the rainy season; our car had to be towed from the lodge because of water damage.
I think they are trying hard, but have a lot of work to do still. I booked about 2 months ago and tried to organise a game drive or two (no self-drive option available). As campers or rustic accommodation users usually, we did not have major expectations. Up to and during our arrival, they kept saying "We will check availability and get back to you" - I kept inquiring about any updates and eventually accepted that we would not have a game drive, so spent most of the time in the camp. I inquired about safari walks, copper mine tours and other activities (bush lunch) which were "too full" or not available - the bush lunch offer was a few metres from our chalet, so it didn't make much sense going for that. We therefore spent the majority of our time at the chalet, walking around the camp area and down to the Wit Imfolozi River, which was nice. The accommodation was comfortable and we met a German family, and we all braaied together at the boma - they too were disappointed about no game drives being available. It was lovely to be in the bush, but there are better options, especially considering the amount paid per person per night. It seems that they spend more on marketing than on investing in the park for now. We saw one zebra and a few impalas near our chalet.
Road very bad, but everything was nice there and the people very nice. I will go again.
The camp appears as a field school camp as well as a guest camp. It is beautifully luxurious and very neat. We initially felt we were in the wrong place because they didn't know about our booking or expect us. After that the staff were friendly and helpful.
