"We had such an awesome stay. All the staff where friendly and professional. Service was awesome. The unit we stayed in (Wildebeest) was lovely and we had everything we needed. Love the big verandas! The jungle gym right on our doorstep kept our 3 year old busy enough for us to relax. Jennifer arranged for a baby bath and camping cot to be set up in our unit for our 4 month old without us even asking. We did the walking trail, its short enough to do with the kids and we saw some zebra, kudu and giraffe while walking. We booked the special (40% discount) last minute and feel so blessed to have experienced this gorgeous place at a price we could afford."

"We had a fabulous stay. Johan and Jenny as well as all the staff were fantastic and friendly. We were 7 people who stayed in the Giraffe Lodge and it was brilliant, loads of space and all the comforts of home with everything we needed. It was very clean and neat. Wonderful to sit overlooking the watering hole to watch all the animals. It is far from any major towns so make sure you bring all your food, drinks, toiletries - any essentials. Great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city to come and de-stress and relax. Really enjoyed the game drive."

"My absolute best - The first time Johan opened the OPGR gate for me i immediately felt at home...Jen's welcoming smile put the cherry on top - home away from home. The friendly and helpful staff (Jonas,George,Elias,Masego,Dikeledi) made it worthwhile. The team went the extra mile to ensure all my needs and expectations were exceeded.Rooms and garden were clean and well kept. My privacy was respected.
Tranquil, calm, re-assuring and laid back environment. The game drive and arranged horse-back safari was out of this world.The place should be rated 5*
Thanks guys that our paths crossed...I WILL BE BACK!!!!!Kind regardsSerame"

"OPGA was certainly one of the finest Game Reserves I have ever visited. Not only was the accommodation everything perfect, the hosts (Johan and Jennifer) and helpers were also just as friendly and always there to help. We enjoyed it so much, we even stayed over longer.

Had a lovely morning game drive and saw almost all the game on the farm. The view from the lookout point was awesum.

This is really one of the most affordable places to visit and for sure coming back....soon."

"From making the booking with Rooms For Africa, everything just went smooth and hassle-free.
The accommodation was very impressive with neat, clear facilities in the most wonderful peaceful surroundings.
From meeting Jennifer on arrival, we felt welcome, until our departure, excellent service.
We were so impressed that we are making another booking in one of the bigger chalets, to accommodate the family as well!
Will definitely be back!
