"I spent 5 adventurous and memorable days exploring prehistoric cave art — some obscure and remote — with TK, the lodge's intrepid and knowledgeable guide. Unlike anything I've experienced on a vacation."
Sarah & James W.

"We've been on safari across Southern Africa for 20 years. Matobo was unlike anything else — tracking rhino on foot through those boulders, sundowners on 3-billion-year-old granite. The value was extraordinary."
Tina & Jon Buckley

"I took my family back after 12 years and we had a wonderful stay. The scenery is out of this world. Thank you to Josh & the team for looking after us — the kids had the most brilliant time. We will definitely be back!"

"We were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived. Dining under the stars — a 4-course meal of delectable treats. Behind the lodge you can climb the rock: the view from the top is incredible. We could not recommend this more highly."

"She personalised every aspect of my visit. The staff — Thoko, Tatenda, Tawanda, Bheki, Bridget, Amos, Clive, Michael, Thandi and Andile. I know each name for a reason and each smile I can call up in a heartbeat. You guys rock — excuse the pun!"
