From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed. All of the staff were friendly and professional. Our lunch was beautifully plated and delicious. The tour was fascinating, our guide was entertaining and informative. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

We stopped by here for a couple hours. You can buy some corn sacks to feed to the ostriches (we bought around 20 haha). It was a lot of fun to feed them. Be carefull with hand feeding them, they come picking at you with quite some speed haha. We thought they were very very cute. There is also a possibility to do a tour, to have dinner and there is a little shop.
