The wooden cabin wants for… read more nothing as self catering and on top of that is serviced daily. We stayed in cabin 1 which is the closet to the water hole and had the fortunate opportunity to see so much game while sitting and relaxing on the wooden deck.

As hosts, Gunther and Anita go out of their way to ensure your stay is perfect for you, thank you and as mentioned when we were leaving – we are coming back!!! More
