Thanks for the YouTube links to the person who posted those. I just looked in this thread bc I saw the points guy post about it. I wish I had gotten in on this action though I probably would have had to cancel unless I had booked for next year. Surprised me that the reservations were honors when I read the first page of this thread and someone said they had a cheaper booking points booking. I guess it's like someone said: they didn't want all the negative reviews and publicity they'd get if they had cancelled on a new place/listing. Tripadvisor only has around 20 reviews as it is. I suppose it was a smart decision. They avoided the negative publicity and have people posting positive stuff. I can't afford the cash price but I would consider burning points even a the going rate. Found some random booking that would cost $6574 cash or 234k points for 2.9 points per cent redemption.

I would enjoy this I'm sure as I've never been on a safari. How does this place compare to other expensive game lodges here or say the ones around Kruger which I've researched. I think one of the top places is $2k a night per person. How does it compare to say the cheaper places ( I think the cheapest I'd onsider staying at is $300 something per person near Kruger in the Timivati area).
