    Everything was incredible! The facilities, the spaciousness of the lodge, the outdoor shower, the pool! Carey & Caitlin were incredible hosts and made our time really special. The groundstaff were also amazing - they managed to keep everything spotless without intruding in anyway.

    From the time we arrived we knew we were in good hands - our field guide Niel made sure that he understood our objectives for being there, our interests, our desired outcomes, etc. The accomodation was lovely, everything we needed was available for use, down to the fine details of a small cooler box for drinks for our game drive, and travel mugs for coffees (although there was no sealed lid to close the coffee, so you needed to drink it before it messed). If there was anything minor to change I would say that the Executive suite could do with a little maintenance on the doors and cupboards, and to fix the bulkhead to the bathroom. Minor. Well done on the hosting, thoughtfulness, and overall experience. Magic !

    All good

    Excellent facilities, the pool and jacuzzi were spotless. Our guide, Neil, went way beyond his remit to show us around the park. His enthusiasm was contagious and the 7 of us had a wonderful time despite rain every day. We’ll definitely be back as it’s perfect for a group of friends

    There were lots of insects and worms in the rooms. This is part of nature and the environment so not sure how much can be done about it.

    Private and secluded. The accomodation was spacious with private views. Great views. Ideal for a big group of family looking for privacy.

    There is nothing that I can point out as a particular dislike.

    It was a real African bush experience. I brought guests from the UK and they could not have asked for a better trip. Our ranger, Niel, went above and beyond what we could ever have expected of him. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and hard working. We felt completely at home. Morokolo is fantastic.

    Well the actual place was incredible and as we took over 95% of the lodge except for one self contained unit we had the whole place to our selves. Neil Pienaar was our Guide and lodge manager and he was fantastic. His knowledge and friendly manner was great. We felt like he was part of our family group. We would have like to see more game but some times it down to luck. I wish more animal would come over into the Black Rhino reserve. Thanks for a fantastic holiday and adventure Neil.

    The very luxurious problem :D but if you’re a sleeper who needs a dark room be aware that the amazing big windows are not fully covered so you get sun coming in early hours

    We could not ask for a better start to our North West debut trip. Incredible lodge, very well equipped, with a cute swimming pool. Staff was incredible - special shout out to Jeandre, who went out of his way during game drives to ensure we see as many animals as we can - and we did! Highly recommend this place- experience was wonderful.

    The lodge itself is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen and living area is huge and you have everything that you need for self-catering. The rooms and en-suites are also very spacious, comfortable and lovely decor. The children and adults all loved the swimming pool and sun loungers. Jacqui and Riaan were brilliant hosts and we loved our game drives and time in the bush. We can highly recommend this lodge.

    We stayed at the spacious and luxury Lodge 1 which offers a big fireplace and lots of privacy. The game drives were amazing and the staff super helpful. You can park your car under a roof and we were able to buy liquor at the reception as we forgot on our way. Otherwise you need to bring your own food. Wonderful place, we will be back.
