Traveller Reviews

  • What a view it is that you arrive to. Even having seen the pictures on their website I was amazed. The accommodation itself was fantastic. The level of service was out of this world. The safari team were great guides and great fun. The sleep-out was a highlight for us both, we had a giraffe eating from the tree next to us - so close I have a head-shot of it taken from in bed!

  • I just wanted to thank you for all your help. We had an amazing time. Garonga was absolutely beautiful and we couldn't have asked for better service. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make our stay a delight.

  • Garonga & Savannah was the best. The owners & hostess was always present to make sure our needs were met, even offered special requests. I did not realize there were so many game drives. They were each 4hrs and two times per day. By the time we got to Savannah I counted 9. I stayed home for 2 game drives to enjoy my beautiful place that you arranged. The service & connections were seamless & the best!!!!
