REVIEWS
Stayed at Chantel’s place with my wife and two kids for one night when Khama Rhino was booked up. It’s just an hour from and about 1.5 hours from Serowe. The property is absolutely lovely, nestled in the middle of the bush on a private farm.We took a couple of wrong turns into the house in spite of Chantel’s clear directions but arrived no problem.The house is clean, equipped with great WiFi and has access to wireless networks. We grilled our food under stars,but have just easily used the stove with the pots and pans.
Chantel and Neville offered me a boma (fire) for us but we were exhausted would definitely do that next time. They were kind enough to take us on a game drive the next morning, where we saw loads of kudu, impala, gemsbok and duikers,as well as lovely birds!All around 5 star experience.
