"We are so grateful for the way you helped
us after our accident. Tim, thank you so
much for picking us up and waiting at the
hospital for all those hours. Also the talks
and fire and the chicken were great! And
Donna, thank you so much for being so sweet
and giving us everything we needed. You were
always there for us. We can't describe our
gratitude! Also the lodge is great and all
the animals too and we had a real African
feeling and we really got some rest! Thank
you very much." "Getting involved in a very nasty car accident while your on holiday in SA is something you don't expect. Being taken care of afterwards by two great people like Tim and Donna turned out to be an even bigger surprise; a pleasant one this time! They were like Mom and Dad to us. We initially booked for just one night, we did extend that to 3 nights. If we would have more time we would have spent at least a week or more. Wanna taste the real African feel?
