Customer Reviews

The game drive was a great experience. We saw all the animal species available to see. The nature is picture perfect. I think the game drive is a bit expensive for what you can see. Limited wild. The plants and proteas were awesome. - Susan

What an amazing bunch of people - from reception, accommodation, food, gin tasting - it was awesome! Everyone worked hard to make sure we had an incredible time. The customer service was excellent, the sense of humor at the cafe/restaurant even better and then our game drive. We stayed in the cottage and got picked up right outside our front door. Our guide was super knowledgeable, a real gentleman and went through a lot of trouble to make us feel comfortable. He actively sought out animals for us to see, shared facts about the fauna, flora, farm and area. We felt very at ease and safe with him behind the wheel. The drive is so worth it -we covered a substantial distance and saw a lot of the (very large) farm - spectacular views! Stopping at the top of the viewpoint, our driver promptly changed roles to maitre, setting out an awesome picnic with a large variety of drinks, savory and sweet snack treats and fruit for us to enjoy with our fellow game watchers. Then he easily moved into the role of photographer, happy to pose for a few holiday pics with us! Now that is how you make memories! Getting dropped off at our front door again, we knew that our comfort and enjoyment of the experience was his top priority. That contagious smile and excellent spirit will remain part of our memories for years to come! Thank you and here is to visit you again soon! - Marichen

A relaxing and peaceful experience awaited us. The game drive was fantastic with the Giraffes a couple of meters from the vehicle. In all, highly recommended adding Pabala into your bucket list. - Hans

Our company took us to Pabala on a game drive for our year end function and dinner afterwards at Local is Lekker. We had a wonderful experience and can really recommend it. - Oorlogspoort
