Angesichts des doch sehr hochpreisigen Preisgefüges würde ich gerne das ein oder andere anmerken: Das Angebot wird als "all inclusive" angeboten. D.h. in diesem Fall, dass zu den Mahlzeiten ein Weiß- und ein Rot-Wein inkludiert ist. Keinerlei Mock- oder Cocktails und auch keinerlei Auswahl an Weinen. Wir haben über 1,6k pro Nacht bezahlt, ich glaube, da müßte mehr drin sein. Leider hatten wir auch in unserem Chalet sehr schwachen Wifi-Empfang (1 Balken), somit war keinesfalls an die Benutzung eines Streaming-Dienstes zu denke. Maximal Whatsapp-Nachrichten. Was uns wirklich störte: Dienstleistungen, die offiziell angeboten wurden, aber nicht vorhanden waren.....z.B. das "early morning breakfirst" vor den game drives. Gab es nicht. Somit mussten wir hungrig den Tag starten. Additional das Gym: Die Hälfte der Geräte funktionierte nicht.....ehrlich? das bei dem Preis? Service: Hakuna Matata.....passt schon...allerdings, dass ich an der Rezeption alleine meine Koffer auf den Land Rover laden muss und der Fahrer/Mitarbeiter mir zuschaut, ist eine Frechheit. Wer ist hier Gast und wer Mitarbeiter? Ich muss nicht von vorne bis hinten bedient werden, aber er hätte gerne mithelfen dürfen.... Ranger: Sapho war unser Ranger.....hier habe ich gemischte Gefühle. Mal war er sehr informativ, am nächsten Tag mürrisch. Woran das lag? Keine Ahnung. Ich habe die Vermutung, dass er mehr tip erwartet hatte......na ja, aber so war die Safari-Erfahrung leider etwas getrübt.....das muss professioneller sein bei dem Preis....ich bin es immer noch, der das Trinkgeld (in meinem Fall immerhin 10%) gibt. Das vermiest das ganze Erlebnis.

Amazing place. The lodges have a fantastic view of the water where all the animals come to drink. They also have their own decking with sunbeds and a plunge pool, perfect for watching the animals and a log fire that the staff light at night for you. We had a morning and afternoon game drive included and also did the extra night drive and bush walk which I would recommend. The staff were on top of everything and all really nice, down to remembering which wine I liked and our ranger Cleo was really friendly and knowledgeable. A really special place, we were sad to leave and we'lldefinitely be back.

The accommodation was superb and very relaxing. We wished we could have stayed longer. We were very fortunate to have seen the white lions up close.

We had the most fabulous safari! Arranged by Viking. Pumba took fabulous care of us even though we were almost 2 hours late. M-Z (?) our driver was amazing! We checked everything on our list except a leopard... We saw a pride of lions! Also a herd of elephants!! Zebras, giraffes, monkeys, rhinos, hippos, warthogs, impalas, nyalas and more!! I am beyond grateful to Pumba Private Park and Viking.
