Reviews
It is a good bushveld experience with a good 4x4 road network that gets one to most places on the reserve. The vegetation is thick which makes game viewing a challenge but the bird life is prolific and diverse. We stayed at the Tamboti tented camp which is in a great location and is well appointed for easy self-catering. Staff are friendly and helpful and the pool and public area are a great spot to take a breather and refreshments on a hot day.
