Dear Phileas Many thanks for your very descriptive review of all the wonderful things our guests can experience. Pity you didn't get to meet Nandi, the resident Spotted Eagle Owl during your stay ..that would have been a real bonus. Best regards Lindy

Exceptional views, great hospitality

We stayed here fr one night. Everything was perfect. We went on a water safari, saw over 20 species of animals. Great meals whilst enjoying great scenery. The chalets were comfortable with a really wonderful outside shower.
