The lodge is like a big welcoming home and the team there went out of their way to ensure we felt part of the family. Our tour guides, especially James, were engaging and made sure our time in the park was adventure filled. They made sure we got to see all that the park has to offer and we have so many wonderful photos to take back to Australia with us.

Thank you David, James, Lucky and the team for making our stay with you special. Thank you to Patricia for the wonderful food. I don’t know how they did it but 44 guests were served Kudu cooked to their individual liking. I asked for mine to be served blu and that’s exactly what I got.

Can’t wait until we return.

See you next time, Suzanne and Craig
