Room and resort was fantastic. Service as the valley of the waves was lacking. We were completely ignored at the Wimpy there. That was a bit of a disappointment as the rest of the visit was excellent.

Friendly and helpful staff- a daily game drive where we saw so much (lion, rhino, leopard, elephant, hippo, crocodile, giraffe, zebra, kudu, buck...). The only negative was beng charged for two extra tea bags and extra milk - to have tea in our room. Was not the cost just the principal.
