Absolutely everything! It started so great with a warm Welcome at the Reception with Michaela to the Welcome at the Lodge with Stacey. We had a Drink and a superdelisheos Lunch (great Chef!). The room was awesome, all the staff great and our Ranger Courtney and Tracker Vuyani a great Team with huge Knowledge. No question Courtney cound't answer. The game drives were great fun and we were so lucky that in one game drive we saw all of the Big 5. Bush Brealfast and Boma, Dinner in our Room - always up to a surprise were just the cherries on top! Absolutely in LOVE with this place!

Its pricey, but we were on honeymoon and spoiled ourselfs.
