Would have stayed longer.

The owners very friendly and we spent sometime talking to them. Location is very good and is within a hour and a half to get to the Krugrer park gates. We olny had one night as we were in transit , but would have stayed longer if we had had the time. We will be staying again next year ( vacancies available )

Tor zum Krüger NP

Idealer Ausgangs oder noch besser Endpunkt für den Krüger Airpor ( ca 8 min Fahrt) Condor bietet diesen als Zubringer zum Airport Johannesburg mit sehr geringen Aufpreis an! Es gibt auch viele Tips wie man die Krüger Tour gestalten kann - insbesondere von einer deutschsprachigen Gastgeberin! Frühstück war sehr lecker - wir kommen ganz bestimmt wieder !
