Perfect location for a get together
by Samantha Daniels on Thu Aug 26 22:01:52 +0000 2010

It was a great place to catch up with our friends although we did get a bit lost finding the place as we arrived in the dark! The activities we did here were superb and the staff incredibly helpful – we did the hippo spotting at the dam and the night sky safari. This was a very special activity and had us all captivated as we watched the big screen – we were surprised by how fascinated the children were, but Phil pitched the talk at just the right level for all of us. Definately something we will all remember and strongly recommend to others as it was so unique. Our cottage Butterfly had charm but could do with updating – Bushwillow where our friends stayed had better facilities.

We spent 3 days marvelling at spider webs, zebra and all sorts of birds. Our cottage was lovely and we felt very at home. The no frills was so appealing and we just loved it here. The ranger and manageress were utterly great and knowledgable and Philip’s enthusiasm for Africa infectious!
