Bushmen / San Village Safari Lodge & Tented Camp Reviewed by Ilze Hayward on 11 May 2011
We arrived quite late in the evening and the welcome was excellent at a time when you actually expected the staff to be sleeping already. Our privacy and needs were really considered and accommodated. You really appreciate the beauty of nature and everything melts together to form part of a peaceful surrounding.

Bushmen / San Village Safari Lodge & Tented Camp Reviewed by Hilde Tellesbø on 8 November 2009
If you really want to experience the wilderness of Africa, this is a good place to stay. We went to a lot of game drives, both inside the lodge reserve and at other places, including the BIg 5. Activities combined with relaxing at the pool side, just listening to the sound and smell of the bush made the stay perfect. It was also interesting to take some walks on our own inside the reserve. But the most special experience was to meet the Bushmen San People. Our guide throughout the week was very service minded and had excellent knowledge about the nature, and could answer all our more or less stupid questions. The food was good and always served with a smile. Thanks for a stay we will remember for ever.

Over the tall veld grass, past the wild cotton and rest awhile under the shade of the Shepard’s tree and onto a termite mound to catch but a glimpse of the surrounding landscape.
