What an amazing experience. Gweda lodge was so much better than expected. The place looks even finer in person. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Chef Andrew and Jac really added to the joys of our weekend, they were welcoming and made sure that we felt like we were at home. Chef Andrew made sure that our meals were cooked to perfection, he catered to all of our menu ideas and even added his own little magic to each meal. The game drive was lovely we got to see rhino, giraffes, buck and zebra's. On the last night we had a herd of elephants that came to say hi around the lodge. Truly a wonderful weekend away.
