This is an outstanding lodge, one of the most exclusive on offer in the Sabi Sands. It is certainly a place to indulge yourself in luxurious surroundings and at the same time enjoy the sights and sounds of the river below and the African bush. It is perfect for honeymooner or those just wanting to seclude themselves away from busy city life. The service and guide is top notch. It is worth every penny spent!
