Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

The staffs attention to detail and the cleanliness of the grounds and units are exceptional. Everyone working on the property was friendly and dedicated to making our stay comfortable. Gilah arranged a sunset game drive in Manyoni. Very informative and friendly. Encountered 3 lion. Unfortunately the other 4 of the Big Five were hiding..... however game drive was a wonderful experience. Well equipped units with gas supply. Ample space and super comfortable beds for 3 of us. Lodge is easily accessible on good condition dirt roads. Highly recommended for a pure relaxation holiday.
