We stayed at Gomo Gomo<\/a>, in the Klaserie Reserve<\/a> which forms part of the Greater Kruger Park, in February, for just one night.<\/p>\n

\"img_2700a\"What a great place ! <\/p>\n

For me, the main word that sums it up is unpretentious. The atmosphere is totally relaxed \u2013 the rangers are extremely friendly, and banter easily between themselves and with the guests, so you really get the feeling that you are part of one big, happy family. <\/p>\n

The room are pleasant \u2013 not particularly traditionally African, I will admit, as they are very \u2018chalet\u2019 like \u2013 square brick built structures \u2013 but they are plenty large enough and comfortable, and the family rooms are ideal if you are 2 adults and 2 children travelling together, as they consist of a double bedroom, a shared bathroom, and a twin bedroom. All the chalets also have their own wooden deck.<\/p>\n

\"img_2695a\"The lodge is built on a dam, with its own resident hippo who happily will regularly throw himself out of the water for a bit of a show. <\/p>\n

The food was extremely good \u2013 nothing too fancy, but well prepared, well presented and very tasty. <\/p>\n

Game viewing was excellent \u2013 Gomo Gomo share their traversing rights with one other lodge, Africa on Foot \u2013 so you are not fighting for space at sightings. We sat with a large pride of lions for nearly an hour as a result … who can complain at that ?<\/p>\n

\"sdc11913\"Pricewise, it is one of the least expensive lodges in this area … from 1st May until the end of July (yes … there is NO price increase over the World Cup period too !!!), the rate if you enquire with Travel Butlers is just R1,450 per person per night; from 1st August until the end of 2010 our rate is R1,590 per person per night. This includes morning and afternoon \/ evening game drives, bush walks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, teas and coffees. Children aged up to and including 2 years are FOC; children aged between 3 years and up to and including 12 years are 50% of normal adult rate. So really … quite a bargain !! <\/p>\n

To summarise, anyone who goes here will come away feeling that they have had FUN on their safari, as well as having seen some wonderful wildlife. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
