Absolutely stunning location, you can just sit and watch elephants, buffalo & warthogs strolling past! The staff also cannot do enough for you, they even made us a packed lunch on our last day as we had a 7 hour drive. Would 100% recommend.

An exceptional and intense experience in the Makuleke game reserve! We enjoyed every moment of our much too short stay, the friendliness of the staff that made us feel at home and more than welcome right from the beginning! Definitely highly recommendable!

Luxus im Busch

Geniale Anlage mit einem super freundlichen Team. Luxus Zelt UnterkĆ¼nfte die sehr edel sind. Das Essen ist qualitativ auf einem sehr hohem Niveau. Manchmal hƤtte ich dann doch lieber einfach nur ein Steak gehabt mit Pommes, aber das natĆ¼rlich Geschmacksache. Das wichtigste sind meiner Meinung nach die Game Drives und diese waren zu 100% ihr Geld wert. Morgens um 6 Uhr los, 4 Stunden auf Pirschfahrt durch den Busch und abends um 16 Uhr ebenfalls 4 Stunden. Da wir den Vergleich haben zu gĆ¼nstigeren Lodges / Game Drives haben, sehe ich hier den erhƶhten Preis als vollkommen gerechtfertigt. Dieses Reserve liegt im Norden und ist anscheinend Hotspot fĆ¼r Leute die auf Vƶgel stehen. Kenne mich da nicht so aus, mir wurde nur von den GƤsten erzƤhlt das man hier seltene Vƶgel beobachten kann. Zusammengefasst kann ich sagen, 2 NƤchte hier und wir haben mehr Tiere (in extremer NƤhe) gesehen als in anderen Lodges oder bei Fahrten mit unserem eigenen Auto durch den Park. Beste Zeit fĆ¼r Vƶgel und Ruhe (Game Drives haben wir alleine gemacht) Januar-MƤrz. FĆ¼r Big 5 eher ab Juni - Dezember, danach wandern die Tiere in den SĆ¼den. Unser Driver Adele ist der beste Mann Ć¼berhaupt. Immer gut drauf und versucht wirtlich alles um die WĆ¼nsche der GƤste zu erfĆ¼llen.
