    The friendly owner is extremely helpful. He met us on the main road and showed us the way to the lodge. But it didn't stop there. We did not realize that there would be no dinner at all if we did not respond to the request immediately after...

We are 15 minutes drive from Orpen gate Kruger Park and Manyeleti Game reserves. Ideal place for somebody that wants to enjoy a big 5 safari and accommodate themselves in a traditional African Village. We have dinner in the Boma under the African sky. Every day we depart from the Village in an Open Safari vehicle for game drives in the Kruger Park and Manyeleti Game Reserve in search for the Big Five
