It's a self service. The location is perfect if one wants to be closer to nature and far from the city. I enjoyed it.

Very personal and family run bush camp. Jenni and Kristian are great hosts. We enjoyed the time over new year at this wonderful location. The tents are spacious and very clean. There is a large pool with sunbeds available and also a nice place to sit around the fire. The very good Breakfast and delicious Dinner is served together with the owners which is perfect for interesting conversations and sharing experiences. The Game Drives with Kristian were informative and varied with nice animal sightings. Simply a beautiful bush camp - highly recommended.

Had 2 wonderful nights, rooms fantastic, beds comfy. Lovely atmosphere, staff amazing Johann very helpful. Food was amazing and enjoyed the boma night. I celebrated a big birthday and the staff all came singing and brought a delicious choc cake to me. All game drives were fantastic, Jerry our guide was amazing and also Alfred our tracker saw so many wonderful animals. Very cold on drives but they supplied hot water bottles and blankets. Wonderful sitting on the deck for meals and watching all the animals come down to river.Would love to return again one day. Thank you Becks family truly amazing.

we had a wonderful stay here for 3 nights. The care and friendliness of Sally and Louis is fantastic and unique. The rooms and grounds are also top notch. We had breakfast and dinner there every day and it was delicious and perfect every time! We stayed there with our 1 year old son (youngest guest they have ever had) and our little man and the owners loved it. We can recommend this place to everyone.

    The lodge is located in a beautiful, relaxing environment. The game drives were great fun. Our ranger Paul has a lot of experience and it was fun with him. Apart from the leopard, we saw the Big 5 (when we arrived there was even an elephant walking past the accommodation). Everything else is very well taken care of: varied, tasty and extensive food (also vegetarian). The room was clean and beautiful. In short, highly recommended!
