It was a very nice and special experience at Godawana. Our Ranger Ashley was so great! He was able to answer any questions we had and had incredible knowledge of the wildlife. The reserve is absolutely beautiful, as are the villas and the food was very good! Always recommended.

The accommodation in the private villas was spacious and truly immersive in Nature. The wildebeest grazed outside the bedroom balcony in the mornings and there was plentiful game seen when driving to Kwena Lodge for meals. The food was excellent with special attention given to diverse dietary needs. The game drives were informative and our Ranger provided us with a unique interaction with lion. Be advised that the Ford Ranger vehicles, whilst fit for purpose, do not have canopies. Given the changeable weather patterns in the valley, you can get sunburnt, wet and cold during a three hour game drive. So, take warm and waterproof clothing.

My First Game lodge experience. Staff made us feel very welcome and almost like Royalty. The Villa was stunning and the views breath taking. Loved every minute of the experience and not even the cold mornings could dampen the spirits of my family who enjoyed the wildlife and the beautiful scenery that was on show. We will be back ....Soon :)

Very nice accomodation, very romantic huts! The staff was friendly and helpful, so were the rangers. We saw a lot of animals, no lions however. On their website they advertise the big five, but they don‘t have leopards, so this isn‘t technically true. They have elefants, rhinos, lions and buffalos though and a lot of other animals... I would recommend it,.
