Highly recommend!

Wonderful, wonderful hidden gem with the friendliest staff. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, they spoiled us. They made a bush walk happen for us which we absolutely enjoyed. All the guides for the safaris were extremely knowledgeable. We loved the afternoon safari and watching the sunset. The property was very clean. We enjoyed our accommodations and all the decor. The pool was an added plus! And the delicious food: three meals a day were included. Fresh, local and big portions. They catered to any dietary restrictions. We couldn’t not have been happier! Our only regret is we couldn’t stay longer! Highly recommend!

7 / 10

We thought it was a bit overpriced.

Hospitality was very good. Also the food was good.

The safaris were disappointing. Of course, sightings are never guaranteed but with this reserve you were lucky to even spot an impala, an animal you would see on a regular basis everywhere else. I would skip the safaris offered by Rukiya and go to Kruger instead, where you will encounter way more animals.
