Testimonial

Sand Rivers was amazing – such a beautiful spot. Accommodation was great – I think they must have upgraded us cos I certainly wasn’t expecting a plunge pool. Hillside villas just wonderful – all open air and you feel so close to nature. There was a relief manager (Sasha) whilst we were there – he was great, really made us feel at home and was always around to check we were OK and offer a drink!! Great guide (Ernest) – tracked down 3 lionesses, plus cubs, then a leopard on the way back to the airstrip. good variety of activities, game drives (obviously) but great river trip plus fishing and picnic, and trip to hot springs and swimming. Excellent food and very sociable at the lodge even though it was quiet. Wall to wall sunshine – nice. Echo beach also lovely. Quiet and intimate. Sue the owner had quite a few of her family over for Christmas so felt quite homely. They were very welcoming – tracked down a family game when we asked for one and even some aloe vera gel for my daughter who had a heat rash. Rooms fine – maybe a little shabby chic but very clean and individual. Quiet beach – very little hassle, nice pool and hot sea (my husband couldn’t believe how warm it was). Excellent food and attentive service. Flights all amazingly punctual – I wish European flights were as reliable. My 16 year old son managed to sit at the front of the coastal plans with the pilots which made his holiday as he was hoping to be a pilot. all in all holiday of a lifetime!! So thanks for great recommendations and getting it all sorted out for us.
