Luxurious haven in the Green Kalahari
Amazing stay in this semi-desert location! Hospitality was outstanding. We went on 2 breathtaking game drives (1 drive to see the orange river and Namibian mountain range and another sunset drive). The annex room was luxurious, very peaceful. Food was delicious although I would have preferred some karoo lamb for dinner given we were in the northern cape (personal preference. Whatever we did eat was nonetheless tasty). Thanks for an amazing, memorable stay!!
