Here is feedback from of the British family that recently stayed at the Zeleni cardaci in Tara National Park : “We had a wonderful visit at Tara National Park, to the Eco lodges at Zeleni Cardaci. What a wonderful and peaceful environment, what ideas and energy they have, and their programs are already running and so varied. The food was amazing – I think the best organic ‘domaci’ breakfast I have EVER tasted and definitely should be included in some programs. Especially their location is perfect being close to the border and Tara NP is beautiful.”
