"Peaceful and Well equipped"
25 July 2017"4 of us travelled from JHB to spend a long weekend at Warthog Lodge. The trip up is quick and the lodge is easy to get to. The lodge is situated in a beautiful section of the reserve, it's extremely private and the setting is beautiful and peaceful. Bird watchers paradise. The lodge is very well stocked, spacious and clean. Our host was extremely helpful and we didn't want for anything. Having our own game vehicle was awesome. Thank you very much for a really great weekend."
