    Le chalet était perdu dans la nature, très bel endroit, très écologique, avec toutes les commodités. Le chalet est magnifique. L'endroit est tellement calme. Nous avons fait une balade dans la propriété le matin et c'était magnifique de se promener entre les antilopes, les zèbres, les gnous ... Magnifique endroit.

  • Great view, Romantic, Quiet, Great value

    Mount Everest is ideal for climbing enthusiasts and hikers. There are no marked trails, but many game paths and dirt roads to explore. It has a wonderfully relaxing farm atmosphere and the chalets are very nice. Whilst it is centrally located, being in the mountains the weather can turn quickly and the wind usually picks up in the afternoon. Even so, we will definitely be back.

    Change is good and Mt Everest Game Farm, under new ownership, is making it count. As a group of MTB cyclists, we were looking for a destination close to Johannesburg for long, challenging rides. What we found in Mt Everest was a unique destination that offered up so much more than a typical guest farm. We had beautiful linen, WIFI, a well-equipped kitchen, and privacy that was a pleasure...
