                          The staff was friendly and helpfull great. The indoor swimming pool was very cold and although a few people complained nothing was done. I booked with Safarinow and was very disappointed upon arrival to be placed in a Cabana although I specifically asked for the Log Cabin upon making the booking. Luckily my family was happy with the Chalet but please in future make sure that you give the correct detail through to Olifants River Lodge.

                          This was just what our family needed. The kids can go off and play and parents have peace of mind. Well looked after establishment, the grounds are neat and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Restaurant is well priced. It’s a hidden gem well worth visiting.
