I can't explain in words the feeling to be so close and touch and interact with these majestic animals,Amazing , Awesome , Unreal does not even compare. The most important thing is that these are elephants that was rescued from certain death,They are not wild elephants tamed for monetary purposes.There is 7 elephants in total.They are so friendly and calm , you can see they have been treated well, when you hear each one's story ,it's heartbreaking.The guide was very informative.The staff was friendly and well organized.The elephant's memory is amazing,We got to hug them , play ball with them , play a memory game with them and had lots of photo opportunities.We took our own photos and also ended up buying the DVD (quality of photos was amazing) Off season is the best time to go , fewer people ,more time with the elephants. I got to place my hand inside the elephant's mouth and feel his tongue while feeding it.I also got kissed twice by the elephant :) This visit was to celebrate my 30th wedding anniversary.This is something I will remember for the rest of my life. I want to take my children there soon.

The spa is so luxurious with beautiful decor. We did the sediko escape, and it was an escape from the stresses of the city. We also did the Merlot bath, great experience soaking in the bath sipping on the wine viewing the beautiful nature.

We stayed at one of the corporate lodges within the reserve which was awesome. The reserve has plenty of game. We had three lion sightings in two days. The rest of the Big Five are there too. One does not have the option of driving around oneself, but the game drives were great. Your car will be left at one of the entrances to the park. The park was exceptionally clean and free of litter. Chartered flights are a possibility.

To this day, I have never seen or experienced a better indoor warm water bath than the Hydro at Forever Warmbaths. You can truly feel that the warm water comes from a natural source and is not artificially heated. The size is also perfect, much bigger than other resorts that I have seen and the decor including the fountain is beautiful

It was a pleasure visiting this zoo. A lot of zoos in South Africa are not up to standard, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well kept the grounds were and the cleanliness of the cages. The animals also seemed well fed and in a good condition. This was time worth spending. We also ate at the fast food restaurant and the food was really nice and service was fast.

Lovely to have the animals roaming amongst the accommodation. The staff were excellent and our few maintenance issues were sorted out very quickly. Accommodation was well stocked and well kept. The game drive guide was excellent. There were 3 different areas with pools, so social distancing wasn't an issue. The only thing that wasn't good was that their self-drive game viewing maps were not good and the roads insufficiently marked. Other than that, it was a great stay.
