I stayed at a fantastic place a couple years ago.. I'm going to have to do some digging the find the name...

Can't speak highly enough about this place. It's amazing, they have a 12,000 hectar property, with all of the big game on their property.
Their property is also adjacent to Kruegar park, so they take day excursions into the park.

I recall the first day we arrived, we got off our bus, they loaded us right into a jeep, took us out to a pond where a table was set up with wine and cheese (totally unexpected!).. while we sat there taking in the scenery, a family of hippos came out of the bush in front of us and went for a swim... best first impression ever!

The lodges were amazing, the food was amazing and the staff were incredible.

They have a resident Cheetah that you can actually pet and take photos with.

I recall waking up one morning, drinking coffee on the front porch of my room and watching a couple giraffes stroll by as the sun rose.

Probably one of the best weeks of my life!
