Sehr empfehlenswert!
Moderne, luxuriöse Lodge mit einem wunderbaren Team. Aufmerksamer, freundlicher Service. Das Essen war hervorragend. Die Game-Drives mit Ranger Jason Branford waren lehrreich und unterhaltsam. Viele Tiersichtungen: Löwen, Giraffen, Nashörner, Nilpferde, Impala, Nyala, Kudu, Warzenschweine, viele hübsche Vögel. Ich werde sicherlich wieder dorthin fahren.

Le lodge est magnifique, le personnel très accueillant et vraiment aux petits soins. Les safaris splendides et le guide est vraiment au top. On a passé un séjour de rêve. Je recommande vivement le Mavela Game lodge très bien placé dans la réserve.
