"We came here for our honeymoon. What an amazing experience we had. We had 2 game drives per day with fantastic guides/spotters. The food was top tier - nearly Michelin star level; I had the eggs benedict every single morning. They arranged the most romantic evening dinner in their wine cellar for us. This is probably the best place I have ever stayed. "

"Thomas was great, very peaceful and quite love the watering hole and all the animals that come to get a drink right in fron of the resort"

"This was my second time staying at Raptor Retreat and it was just as good as the first. Our lodging, the Hippo Cottage, was huge, very well equipped and had a wonderful view of the river and the animals. One morning, we saw a parade of elephants right by our window. I also loved the soaking bathtub that also had a great view. We did three amazing game drives with Keith, the owner of Raptor Retreat on which we saw an incredible variety of animals including a huge herd of elephants, hippos and both male and female lions. Finally, we had several excellent massages from Nancy. I highly recommend Raptor Retreat and look forward to returning in the future."

"Excellent accommodation and dining at the Lodge. We had great game drives with our Guides (Polly, German and Yuli) and Tracker (Eddie). Highly recommended!"

"Embarking on this two-day safari for our honeymoon was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with open arms and a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and the area. Their hospitality truly exceeded our expectations. The guides (Opua and Excellent) were not only experts in their field but also passionate storytellers, making each moment on the safari an engaging and enlightening experience. Moreover, the food served during the entire journey was nothing short of exceptional. Every meal was a culinary delight, showcasing both local flavors and international cuisine, and the presentation was simply top-tier. Overall, our time spent here was beyond magical, leaving us with unforgettable memories of breathtaking wildlife sightings, warm hospitality, and gourmet dining. This safari was the perfect way to celebrate our new journey together as a married couple. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an extraordinary adventure!"

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oase. Accommodation was immaculate, the food was delicious and the service faultless. A perfect getaway if you're wanting an authentic experience in the bush. A special thanks to Ernest for looking after us. Would highly recommend. "
