enjoyed driving through the reserve to the camp..saw giraffes, ostrich, nyala, impala, many bird species, warthog and an Ele on our game drive. Outdoor tub was perfect in the moonlight! Nala, receptionist and Sibo our game driver were excellent. Braai packs were amazingly fresh...thank you kitchen staff. Pub lunch at nearby lodge was great too.

Great location, Nice Park, Very good Game drives, and comfy beds with nice cold airconditioning units. Cosmos who did our Boat Safari and later on the Game Drive was an absolute gem. Great funny guy with a lot of knowledge. Children loved the Hot-Tub as well.

We loved everything about the place. The warm welcome and amazing hospitality shown by Ellie ( camp manager) and Mila [ professional hunting guide ) was just on another level. Ellie' pap and stories about Mozambique and sitting around the camp fire really made this a memorable experience. Thank you both for a truly South African bush experience.

The rooms were big and spacious and the views from the room were breathtaking. I liked that the villa was on the Jozini Tiger lodges property, so you could access everything at the lodge as well.

Most relaxing spot with a stunning view of Jozini dam - the men loved the Tiger fishing experience with Maxwell as their guide - a superb and knowledgeable gentleman. Cannot wait to visit the area again

Excellent facilities and staff. Pool area was great.

Excellent facilities and staff. Pool area was great. Boat trip brilliant with great game viewing. Road from Richards Bay to gate was challenging due to number of large trucks and reckless drivers in the area but is manageable - certainly worth the trip

The drive through the reserve was amazing- we saw a lot of animals. The tent was great, the hot tub was immediately lit by a worker and we were helped immediately with all our needs. The stay was great.

We never got to the place as it is advertised as a "Pongola" establishment and it is not near Pongola - it's 30 kms outside in the bundu according to the police in Pongola. This is one of the bookings we'd like to forget. We do not neceassarily blame the property but we blame Booking not to ensure that place is in the town we booked. Booking is just making money, whichever way. If a booker makes a mistake, it's his problem; if a property makes a mistake, it's their problem; if Booking makes a mistake, it's my problem....which is bulldust!! IF YOU ADVERTISE PLACES TO STAY YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED THERE BEFORE SO THAT YOU CAN VOUCH FOR EVERY DETAIL. NO, BOOKING.COM JUST TAKES THE EASY WAY AND PUT ALL THE BLAME ON THE BOOKER AND THE PLACE!!! It's advertising is questionable in many countries! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT. I'VE BOOKED MANY PLACES THROUGH BOOKING.COM over many years of travelling BUT THIS is THE LAST! PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT apparantly THEY HAVE A MONOPOLY WITH BOOKINGS THROUGH MANY OTHER UNSUSSPECTED WEBSITES..... IS THIS ETHICAL?............I DON'T THINK SO. BOOKING WILL FALL AND IT'S NEAR.
