Accommodation was great, but the number of animals seen in the park was very disappointing.

It makes one think that there is either poaching going on or just another corrupt and poorly functioning government-owned entity. A very pleasant stay.

It was a really lovely stay.

We saw so many animals and birds, but would have loved to have seen the lion, buffalo and rhino as well. The scenery was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay.

Rustige omgewing met baie wild. Netjies kampterrein met skoon en ruim ablusiegeriewe, kombuis en heerlike swembad vir afkoel.

Uitstekende vriendelike diens met klein winkel vir die nodigste as jy iets vergeet. Die oord by die kampplekke en die chalets is baie mooi onderhou en swembaddens is heerlik en skoon. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel vir 'n rustige naweek met lekker wildkyk/

Peaceful surroundings with lots of wildlife. Neat campsite with clean and spacious ablution facilities, kitchen and lovely swimming pool for cooling off.

Excellent friendly service with small shop for the essentials if you forget something. The resort at the campsites and the chalets are very well maintained and swimming pools are lovely and clean. Would definitely recommend it for a quiet weekend with fun wildlife watching/

Heerlike, luukse verblyf met alles wat jy nodig het.

Mooi park en baie interessante landskap. Beste kwaliteit verblyf nog ooit waar ons gebly het by SANParke. Hoop hulle sal dieselfde bou by ander parke.

Heerlik en insiggewend.

Het op verskillende wildritte gegaan. Was baie insiggewend - het op elke wildrit iets anders oor die diere in die park geleer. Restaurant se kos was heerlik. Gesinseenheid waarin ons gebly het was netjies en goed toegerus. Baie gemaklik. Sal beslis weer daarheen gaan.

Delicious and informative.

Went on different game drives. Was very informative - learned something different about the animals in the park on each game drive. Restaurant's food was delicious. The family unit we stayed in was neat and well equipped. Very comfortable. Will definitely go there again.

Ons het heerlik gekamp - en ons tent was lekker naby aan die kombuis en ablusieblok. Die paaie in die park was plek-plek nie baie goed vir 'n klein motor nie. Ons het egter die lieflike natuurskoon en wye uitsig salwend vir die gemoed gevind. Ons het redelik baie diere gesien, onder andere 'n lekker verrassing om die sekretarisvoël te kon sien.

Die inrypad na die kantore is 'n nagmerrie, pure sinkplaat en 'n mens voel nogal soms dat die parke baie meer fokus op gerief vir 4x4's as die gewone motors. Die badkamers en toilette was skoon, en die dames-kant beter versorg as die mans s'n. By die mans se badkamers was die deure stukkend en van die toilette het nie gewerk nie. Dit was ook nie altyd skoon nie. Die storte is baie ongerieflik en piepklein, dis moeilik om te beweeg. In die park self, sou mens nogal graag by die dammetjies 'n lekker voëluitkyk-plek wou sien waar 'n mens heerlik rustig kan sit en foto's neem. Paaie kan beslis meer geskraap word. Ons het egter die beste daarvan gemaak en elke oomblik geniet.

We had a great time camping - and our tent was very close to the kitchen and ablution block. The roads in the park were not very good for a small car in places. However, we found the lovely scenery and wide view soothing to the mind. We saw quite a lot of animals, including a nice surprise to be able to see the secretary bird.

The driveway to the offices is a nightmare, pure corrugated iron and one sometimes feels that the parks focus much more on comfort for 4x4s than the normal cars. The bathrooms and toilets were clean, and the ladies' side better cared for than the men's. In the men's bathrooms, the doors were broken and some of the toilets did not work. It wasn't always clean either. The showers are very inconvenient and tiny, it's hard to move. In the park itself, one would quite like to see a nice bird-watching spot by the ponds where one can sit and take pictures. Roads could definitely be scraped more. However, we made the most of it and enjoyed every moment.

Goeiedag Aletta
Baie dankie vir jul waardevolle, konstruktiewe, terugvoering. Ons waardeer dit opreg.
Ons sal definitief omsien na die mans se ablussie-blok se deure om te verseker dat dit spoedig herstel word. Tans kan ons ongelukkig geen aksie neem aangaande die grootte van die storte nie, maar ons sal dit onder die parkeraad se aandag bring.

Ons sal ook aanvra dat die paaie oorgeskraap word om van die sinkplaat-effek ontslae te raak.

Weereens, baie dankie,
SANParke

Disappointing apart from the restaurant which we both found was very good.

A pity our chalet did not have a remote for the TV. A definite lack of game. We saw more game outside the reserve on our drive through the Great Karoo.

Baie rustig.

Nie baie wild nie. Maar die natuurskoon met die ongelooflike berge en die baie paaie maak op daarvoor.

Very calm.

Not very wild. But the natural beauty with the incredible mountains and the many roads makes up for it.

Spent 4 nights and 3 full days in the park. Amazing experience. Peaceful and full of beauty. If you need to recharge your batteries close to nature, this is the place to do it. Not only is big game viewing fabulous but bird life is fantastic too.

Die park was 'n verrassing in geheel gesien.

Die kothuis waarin ons was, was van die ouer plekke met houtraamvensters en hout skuifdeure. Dit was gerieflik en skoon maar ongelukkig benodig dit 'n opgradering ─ veral die badkamer. Die onderhoud is, soos by die meeste SANParke, 'n probleem. Daar is goed wat stukkend is, maar dit word nie herstel nie. Die uitleg van die huise is goed gedoen en die uitsig was baie mooi. Die park se grondpaaie en aanwysings is goed. Ons was verras deur die aantal diere wat ons gesien het ten spyte van die erge droogte. In geheel kan ek aanbeveel dat ons besoek aan die park die moeite werd was en sal graag die park weer wil besoek nadat dit eendag gereën het.

The park was a surprise overall.

The cottage we were in was one of the older places with wooden frame windows and wooden sliding doors. It was comfortable and clean but unfortunately it needs an upgrade ─ especially the bathroom. The maintenance is, as with most SANParks, a problem. There are things that are broken, but they are not being repaired. The layout of the houses was well done and the view was very nice. The park's dirt roads and directions are good. We were surprised by the number of animals we saw despite the severe drought. Overall I can recommend that our visit to the park was worth it and would love to visit the park again after it rained one day.

Pleasant accommodation with full DStv and barbecue area and patio, but I feel some of the cutlery and appliances could have bee better as these were very basic.

We enjoyed the resort and it has good facilities like a swimming pool and a cafeteria as well as walks and a separate picnic area with a swimming pool and toilets. In the lounge area there was a double-sided fireplace that went through to the bedroom, which initially looked like a good idea, but trouble was that later on, despite all our efforts, the bedroom smelled strongly of smoke.

Dit was wat die huisvesting aangaan baie minimaal.

Huisie 7: Toegang sluit uiters moeilik oop en toe. Kookpanne is te swaar en nie gerieflik nie. Geen WiFi nie, pas nie in 2019 nie. Ons dubbelbed was vuil en nie lekker opgemaak nie. Hierdie huisies kort in elk geval 'n grondige restyling. Die park is pragtig en ons het baie wild gesien, pragtige uitsigte en ons het dit baie geniet!

It was very minimal as far as housing was concerned.

Cottage 7: Access is extremely difficult to open and close. Cooking pans are too heavy and not convenient. No WiFi, not fit in 2019. Our double bed was dirty and not well made. In any case, these houses need a thorough restyling. The park is beautiful and we saw a lot of wildlife, beautiful views and we really enjoyed it!
