See you again Bonamanzi
Amazing time yet again in the bush with our 6 friends from New York we took to experience Africa at its best. Not even 1 min into driving into Bonamanzi we already spotted Giraffee and Zebra which left with them with big eyes and huge smiles. Further along the path to reception we had Nyala.
Staff are super friendly and go above and beyond expectation.
Tree houses truely give you the feels of being in the bush and our American friends who stayed in the Lalapanzi chalets were greeted daily by Zebra, warthogs and Nyala.
Thank you for giving our American friends a trip they will never forget!

We were just there for the night but will definitely be back. Our room was clean and comfortable and the staff were super friendly! Our Treehouse was private and had everything we needed.

Wij sliepen in een van de boomhutten. Deze staan ver uit elkaar en midden in het bos waardoor je echte rust ervaart. Dit hebben wij als zeer prettig ervaren.
Park ligt middenin een natuurgebied dus er lopen enorm veel dieren in en rondom het park.
Personeel ook erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Faciliteiten zijn enigszins verouderd maar netjes en schoon.
Komen zeker nog een keer terug als we weer eens in ZA zijn.
