Summary:

A lovely lodge with excellent staff, pleasant rustic rooms and good food. The guide seemed fine, though it was hard to tell because there were so few animals for him to talk about. I was assured afterwards that there had not been hunting recently in this particular area, but I do not believe it. Any animal, from warthogs to zebras to the few antelope we caught sight of, ran as soon as the vehicle was within 50 metres. Very, VERY disappointing in that respect.
