Accommodation
Our tent and bathroom got very hot during the day, some loungers outside the tent would be nice. The food was not up to standard but I believe this is in hand. The night spent on the salt pans was a highlight of the entire holiday, it was wonderful.
Very comfortable hotel, very helpful staff, well located for the airport.
We loved the rooms with their verandas looking over the plains, the food was delicious, the walking in the Drakensburg was wonderful. We knew very little about the Boer war before we came and found the guided talk very moving.
Wonderful accomodation, lovely food, a great welcome and the trip to the heronry will remain one of my best memories for ever.
Superb guiding, very comfortable rooms and lovely food, lunch in the new library overlooking the ravine was wonderful.
The guiding is superb, we really enjoyed our walking safaris and even managed to see some wild dogs on their evening hunt. The food was wonderful as the was the bath under the stars. A really lovely camp.
Really lovely hotel, the food is super and the location superb and nothing is too much trouble. A huge treat.
