EVERYTHING, the staff Stanley the ranger was amazing, as were all the rest of the staff. The animals, food, accommodation, our fabulous welcome. It was our first visit to SA and a game reserve it was amazing. The highlight of our 3 week holiday was meeting Tahboh ( sorry if not correct spelling) of the orphaned cheetah. One of the most amazing things I’ve done.

We absolutely loved everything about this camp. Perfectly located, great pool, we felt like being on Safari at a friends house. Rob (the ranger) did an amazing job with two amazing game drives, we saw a lot of animals and had great fun. Even the shower in the tent was fantastic.

We stayed three nights at the country house and loved every minute of it. The house itself with its friendly staff, cozy rooms and 3-course-dinner was already unique. The stay included two Game drives per day and each was an adventure of its own! Thanks to our rangers Marlie and Hain we not only got to see many animals - we learned about their behavior such as the plants, history and culture of Amakhla. Huge recommendation!

We were a bit concerned about the amount of food prepared for the number of visitors. it was not necessary to place so many dishes on the table. better for the guests to order only what they could eat from the menu

The whole experience exceeded our expectations. The food is superb and the rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. They went through the trouble of making a separate meal for my partner to accommodate his food allergies. They also went to the trouble of setting up a screen and provided us with snacks to watch the rugby. We also got to see 4 of the Big 5 in one evening!

The location of Hillsnek is breathtakingly beautiful! The camp is small & intimate and the staff are very warm and friendly - nothing was too much to ask! Our ranger, Brogan was incredibly knowledgeable and accomodating - we left having seen 4 of the Big 5. Brogan ensured our morning coffees and sundowners were set against incredible scenery! We loved this! Meals were tasty and varied and the Wednesday evening Braai was awesome! Loved the feel of the boma and the food was lovely! Our tents were just AMAZING! All the tents are set well apart giving a lovely feel of privacy. Each tent is thoughtfully laid out and beautifully presented - lovely sense of luxury. Highly recommend Hillsnek and the wonderful team that work there! Thank you for an amazing couple of days!
