I was lucky enough to spend one night ( way too short ) on this amazing farm . The abundance of animals together with the beautiful mountains , trees and... read more general landscape make this a very special spot to visit . The accommodation is perfectly situated and beautifully furnished - One can see that this place is loved by its people !!

  Great friendly and helpful staff.
We got the 'hut' that more looked like a full blown apartment. Very nicely arranged and very clean.
The kitchen, bedroom and bathroom were very... read more spacious and great to spend some time.
The outside pool is also a nice touch.
The first day food (chicken) was a bit under cooked to my liking.
The breakfast and other evening dinner were marvelous.
The game drive looked a bit "staged". They know where the rhino's are since there are constantly 2 guards to their side :), but the drive in itself was nice. We saw a lot of other other animals. The morning bushwalk was too late (7:30 AM) in my opinion. The sun was already burning 25+°C. It could easily be done at sunrise (5:30 AM) when the temperature is still nice.
The drive up and down the huts are an adventure in itself (In my opinion not to attempt without 4x4 Low gear).
A great experience alltogether.

  I would easily give this 10 stars if I could. The staff is perfectly attentive and accommodating. Upon arrival we were greeted by staff and offered a cold beverage as... read more we checked in. We were so lucky to stay in one of the new luxury suites which included our own plunge pool and fire pit, yoga platform, indoor and outdoor shower, and wrap around deck. Each morning I woke up to the sounds of the young impalas sparing and could watch them from the comfort of my bed! The rooms are stunning and so private and comfortable.
Our game drive guide was fantastic and our sundowners were beautiful with our favorite beverages.
We hiked all over the property and up onto a ridge that feels like the end of the world in the most magnificent way! We choose a few of the more difficult hikes, but also enjoyed a very easy trek around the property as well.
The bird watching from the deck of our suite and the main lodge was unreal! There are hundreds of different birds to observe. Really spectacular!
For cooler days, there is a game room with views of the water holes. There you can warm up by the fire, curl up with a book, play cards or mancala, or make your own bracelet.
The food was also fantastic. Every meal. We had a diverse group of eaters from vegan to paleo and we all enjoyed beautifully prepared and delicious food. We were never with out options and enjoyed afternoon tea at our leisure.
I got a massage while I was there. I was celebrating my birthday while there and the massage table had a flower petal greeting of "Happy Birthday" for me. The massage was wonderful.
There is not a single thing I would have changed about our stay except to have been able to stay there longer.
The owners are so gracious and warm. It was really an unforgettable experience. Without question or hesitation I will return on my next trip to South Africa later this year.

  we enjoyed the game drive and beautiful scenery. Luvhondo living area was well equipped for a large crowd and very comfortable. All the facilites around the rondavels... read more were used and nice to have diversified facilites. Look out 70m from the rondavels is an amazing vista view. beds in the rooms are exceptionally comfortable.

  All perfect, I look forward to visiting again in late summer when the experience will no doubt be different. One small suggestion re the camp which I mentioned to Joyce... read more on departure : a light above the sink and food preparation area of the kitchen would be good.

I was disappointed to find no plant/shrub/tree list. My very short exchange with Lukas was rewarding. Next time I would like to spend some time with him.

The fact that on the first night I had to sleep on the settee on the stoep until 2 am was not the fault of Leshiba! From midday 21 Oct 38 degrees to midday 22 Oct 20 degrees was astounding.

Please give me Jhb contact details for John Rosmarin who knows me from way back. I want to give him a short extract from "South Africans against Rommel" which features his father.
