DORI has incredible eyes and spotted a leopard hidden in a tree ! TRIMINATE is so nice and welcoming it was an incredible adventure ! VINCENT has so much knowledge and passion to share, it makes one want to become a ranger at once ! An astonishing experience i will never forget ... and definitely do all over again ! The Tlou tented camp is simply perfect, halfway between luxury and camping, the staff is great, the accommodations are delightful, the pool is an amazing plus, and the friendly manager knows how make you comfortable. Thank you so much Mo Africa.

Absolutely mind blowing a fantastic experience. From pick up to drop off everyone was so helpful and courteous. The transfers were efficient and both drivers really helpful. On arrival at Plenisberg the first game drive didn’t disappoint within 20 minutes we had sent rhino elephant and Giraffe. Lunch was good and the. We were take. To the tented accommodation where we met Noxy the nicest most attentive host ever The tent was very luxurious with quality linen and towels and en-suite bathroom (in a tent !!!!) We then went on the evening game drive which again didn’t disappoint with us seeing everything except cats We returned to the accommodation for a delicious meal and great company before hitting the sack for a mega early start 530 AM off for the sunrise drive and we hit the jackpot lions and leopards We returned for a delicious breakfast and check out them back to the park for a final drive lunch and transfer back to Joburg I cannot recommend this trip enough it is the best value excursion I have ever done. Complemented by some of the best service I have ever received if I could give it six stars I would

An experience we will never forget! We visited the Lodge for one night in late October. Vincent, our ranger, was extremely knowledgeable and had answers to all questions. A very professional driver who knows the park inside out. He made sure that we got to see all the animals worth seeing and that we got many nice pictures. Noxy, our accommodation host, was very Welcoming, service oriented and nice. She took good care of us on site. Cebu, our driver, took us safely and well to and from our accommodation in Johannesburg. Very entertaining and family person. The accommodation was very clean, nice tents and comfortable beds. Very good food and pool for cooling dips. We all recommend a visit to the Lodge!
