Because it was small we were able to see so many animals and the guides alerted others so that everyone could have a chance to see them. We also went on a bush walk and saw loads of hippo. And on the bush braii a hyena sat by the fire. Fabulous thank you

Smaller more quiet reserve. Better observation of animals.

Hunting atrocities at Balule
Please be aware that Balule not only offers hunting, but has been involved in a number of controversies, including the killing of a young elephant by two (apparently drunk) tourists - 13 shots, 15 minutes of crying torture for the animal:

Didn't get to see the Big 5, but did see many lions, elephants and buffalo. Missed out on the leopard and the rhinoceros. Amazingly didn't see a single giraffe.

We saw the big 5 within 2 outings amongst the most breathtakingly beautiful scenery.

Along with the larger animals like lion, elephant and rhino, our guide had an intimate knowledge of the bush. He was able to share tons of information about the trees, birds, rocks etc. which was a perfect compliment to seeing the larger animals in their habitat.

We were able to see all the Big 5 and many more besides. Close for a day trip to Kruger. Handy to a small town and other places to visit. Comfortable accommodation
