Amazingly calm and beautiful place that takes a more eco-friendly, and less consumerist, approach to the safari experience. They have persuaded various South African landowners to work together to re-introduce the elephants.
Beautiful house and lovely, lovely luxury tents. Food is excellent. Has great connections with local community projects and can help organise eg: flying doctors flight (which helps pay for a doctors visit to a local viallage)/or to visit a local orphanage.

We had the worst food ever for dinner. Breakfast, lunch and tea were great, but we had to send back the pudding the first night because they had forgotten to put it in the oven, and the second night the soup was still frozen. The chef thought a lot of himself, but honestly, it was not great at all. The rooms were fabulous and the staff as well.
