We could not have asked for a better location for our Honeymoon!! Everyone was so thoughtful and welcoming. It truly was some of the best food we had during our trip and our glasses were never empty of wine. Our guide Nikki out did herself with her tracking skills we saw more than we could imagine!

Hillsnek was the perfect venue for our girlfriend reunion! We filled the Lodge & it was just wonderful to have it all to ourselves. The staff made us feel so at home with their gentle kindness & generosity.. the fabulous food & big fires, warm decor, heated beds all literally enveloped us with that great feeling of being in the African Bush. The game drives were such fun, got drenched but saved by our ponchos, and saw so many healthy beautiful animals with the knowledge of our sweet Ranger Bonbon. Such a memorable trip.. thank you all! X

We had a phenomenal two night stay!! Our only complaint is that it wasn’t long enough. The lodge and the rooms are exceptional! The food, staff, and safari guide could not have been better. I promise you won’t go hungry! We really enjoyed the small lodge and top notch service!!

Kleines, aber feines Safari-Zelt-Camp, nur 4 Zelte für je 2 Personen, schöne Lage an einem Abhang mit Aussicht auf das Naturschutzgebiet. Die Zelte sind gut eingerichtet mit grossem Doppelbett, Bad mit Doppellavabo, Dusche, WC, Badewanne, Aussendusche, Terrasse mit Liegestühlen. Sehr gutes Frühstück ab 9 Uhr (vorher Safari), 2-Gang-Mittagessen um 14.30 Uhr, 3-Gang-Nachtessen um 20 Uhr, Essen gut zubereitet, alles inklusive, auch alkoholische Getränke, sehr nette Betreuung durch Nadine und Renzo. Safaris von 05:30 - 09:00 Uhr und 16:00 - 19:30 Uhr, jeweils mit Tee-/Kaffeepause am Morgen, bzw. Sundowner mit Wunschgetränk am Abend. Hervorragender Fahrer/Guide (Hanri) mit sehr grossem Wissen über Land und Tierwelt

HillsNek was the highlight of our trip to South Africa, the location, accommodation and food were all beyond excellent but it was the warmth and attention to detail from our hosts that took the experience to another level. I’ve never felt so welcome and well looked after and thoroughly recommend anyone considering a stay here to do so.

Es hat einfach alles gepasst. Es wurde sich persönlich und aufmerksam um uns gekümmert. Die Safaris sind ein unvergessliches Erlebnis und unser Guide hat die Fahrten nach unseren Wünschen gestaltet. Auch das Essen war qualitativ sehr gut.
