“Absolutely excellent experience in a completely peaceful and blissful environment. The staff and management are incredibly friendly and professional. Was delightfully relaxing and beautiful scenery with excellent weather. Will definitely recommend this to all my friends and family as it was a brilliant life experience.”
“The lodge is perfectly situated overlooking a salt pan where animals meet day and night. We enjoyed two great bushwalks with Koos and John, a night drive and a sundowner drive. We even saw six mighty lions passing the lodge so close that you could touch them… Food was fantastic and comfort regarding the very remote area very good. We’ll surely return!”
“The stay was excellent and the guests with Richters Safaris enjoyed the stay so much. The service, the helpfulness and the friendliness of the people was very good, and will recommend you to other tour operators and tourists. Richters Safaris will always book with you in the future.”
