Luxary in a wildlife park

An ideal place to relax and enjoy nature. Extremely clean house, tastefully decorated. Top-notch amenities. The house has friendly resident wild animals, we really enjoyed watching them. Amazing host, very easy to communicate with, her responses, should you have questions or concerns, are always helpful and lightning-fast.

Very nice experience and Lea made every effort to ensure a vet pleasant stay.

We had private access to the Toyota Land Cruiser for the entire stay giving us exclusive access to the entire nature reserve across several miles. We saw numerous animals and close up access to elephants and rhinos and numerous antelopes. The bush villa was very nicely appointed and very clean. Fantastic View. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances. I would stay here again without hesitation.
