I really like the place, really peaceful and stunning views. Friendly staff. The game drive is a must saw lots of game and had a 4x4 adventure at the same time. There are some game trophies and animal skins that don't quite go with nature conservation theme. Takes about 20min from the highway with 3 Km dirt road.
