Guest review:

“Unforgettable Holidays”

We spent a family reunion at "Claudia Schnell Safari's" over holidays. For most of us it was the first Safari ever and we really got a feeling for nature. The Lodge itself is lovely with it's tented chalets, clean and comfortable and the staff is phenomenal. Claudia & Robin made us feel at home and managed to accommodate every wish while providing the true African experience. Claudia & Robin are very knowledgeable and showed a passion for what they were doing - BIG time! They made sure that we got the most out of our drives. Robin, in his turn, provided us with unique dining cooked on the open fire – the food and wines were excellent. But most importantly: the game viewing was brilliant....there is a lot to see and even more to experience! We had a really enjoyable stay and will be back!
