Awesome, just awesome
This is an utterly amazing destination, a genuine wish we could stay forever holiday destination. It is truly a private, luxury, in-middle-of-nowhere, walk freely amongst the animals kind of a place just 30 minutes from civilization. You couldn’t ask for more and at a fraction of what you think all this would cost.

A truly hidden gem,should be the worst kept secret
Amazing hospitality and stay. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left the team treated us so well. The property is taken care of very well with no attention to detail spared. If you’re looking for an eco friendly private reserve where you can detach and unwind this is it.
