Every single staff member was amazing. They were so professional, welcoming, and just good at their jobs. Special shout out to Bianca, the chef. Awesome food with impressive presentation. Also, shout out to Lee Ann, the general manager but most important to us, the game trail guide. Her expertise is unbelievable. Masodini is a must see and experience. If I could rate it higher than five stars, I would.

We had the most amazing 6 nights here, the staff are all so friendly and made us feel like family. The chef, Bianca, is so lovely and makes the tastiest meals I have ever had! After every game drive we were presented with a hot/cold towel from Trudy depending on the weather which was a lovely touch. We would also come back after the evening drives to a freshly made bed and a chocolate on the pillow! Our game driver/guide, Selby, was the best and taught us so much on the 36 hours in total we spent with him out on the drives! Leanne was also so lovely and took us out to see Jessica the Hippo which is a short drive away. Thank you to all the staff who made our trip so special!!! We will definitely be back ❤️
There is nothing not to like!!

The property was very good, had great facilities such as a nice pool area and the honesty bar. The staff were amazing and really made us feel like family. We even went out for a meal with them on our final evening. Bianca the chef was amazing, all her meals were so good and diverse. Selby our game driver was the best we could’ve asked for, he was amazing at spotting all the animals and taught us so much, was a genuinely nice guy aswell. We already want to come back and will miss all of the staff. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to do a safari. We had a perfect experience. The hospitality was amazing aswell, they really do all the little details that made our trip so good.
Everything was perfect. From the staff to the game drives.

Leonie was a brilliant host/driver/tracker/everything! Looked after us very well, and great to see most of the big 5 on the game drives. Staff were delightful, and the food was great. Walking into the bar and having Elephant at a waterhole just over the fence was amazing.
All good

Everything exceeded my expectations, The reserve was phenomenal, the lodge and staff were great especially Leanne our game ranger. She made sure she found us the big five and much more in 2 days. The best lodge and reserve I've ever been to, we absolutely loved every minute of it.

Intimate lodge with warm and personalised service. Excellent game viewing by expert guide Lee-Ann. Truly spectacular scenery in some areas of the reserve after a lot of rain
Missed real coffee.
