Travel reviews by Mrs H from Leyburn

"Great first stop, lovely big room, good food."

"Superb location, friendly staff, very good guide (Cornelius). Spoilt by the lack of heating."

"Be warned that if you are asked to share a safari truck on the trip to the dunes, ensure that you all want to do the same activities. It can be a very long wait if others have climbed the dune and you haven't."

"Great Spar."

"The mountain view suite was superb, it was comfortable, had great views and very private. It was like having our own private thatched villa."

"Loved everybody who worked there, the Food and Beverage Manger, the girls who looked after us, and especially Liberty our guide, a lovely lad of 27 who really knew his stuff."

"Position of the chalet was outstanding, and the chalet itself surprisingly good, although maybe could have been maintained better, some taps didn't work and a number of bulbs were out."

"Fabulous room. Wild life on the reserve is superb and we got up close and personal with white rhinos, but the game viewing can be spoilt by the number of other safari trucks."

"We were in room 9, which is the mini suite, and quite different to the other rooms. We loved it and an excellent choice for a winters stay, as it had a fire place.
I've travelled in many safari trucks, and these had the least amount of room and were probably the most uncomfortable yet."

"beautiful accommodation and so welcoming. All the staff worked hard to make you feel at home, great food.

only regret we did not book 2 nights before heading off on safari!"

"This is a wonderful place and we are already thinking about when we can go back. we saw a lot more game than we had anticipated and loved the constant change of scenery and landscape which made the safari much more interesting. we had a great day out of the lake with a surprise bush breakfast to make it perfect.

Accommodation is beautiful, great food, great friendly guides and staff, could not have been more welcoming."
