the lodge is just beautiful, the animals walk around the property and are very easy to see.
the rooms (luxury suites) are very well equipped and decorated.
Staff is super friendly and helpful; food options are plenty and very tasty and the game drives are very well organized.

Perfect vacation, perfect schedule with morning and evening safaris. Relaxing during the day at the pool. Delicious food and a lot of animals in the „garden“ in front of the lodge! The Luxury Suites were simply amazing. We loved it.

Had a great stay here, very attentive staff, although reception administration could use a little training. Cabins were wonderful, large and full of character. Game drivers do their best to find animals but there are no guarantees . Remember you’re in the middle of the African bush, wi-fi is spotty and the power goes out briefly, don’t be a baby!

Very disappointing
The temperature was 37 C (100F) the air-condition in my unit was broken. I wasn't told about that and the management expected me to stay in the room because "this is Africa". I had to raise a hell so that they found a room for me in a nearby Lodge. But schlepping around from one Lodge to the other destroyed my one day visit. Additionally the two safari trips were disappointing. The guide gave the impression that all he is interested in is to pass the time and if we don't see animals - never mind.

Struttura caratteristica, curata e pulita. Cibo e cucina ottimi. Personale molto disponibile e reattivo. Nonostante non siano riusciti a risolvere un problemino nella ns stanza si sono mossi molto tempestivamente cercando in tutti i modi di risolvere ma non essendo in città capibile il tempo necessario per recuperare i ricambi.

Eine hervorragend Lodge mit extrem freundlichen und stets hilfberwitwm Personal. Endlich auch ein Guide, Freedom, der Wissen hatte und vermitteln konnte auch ausserhalb der big 5 und Respekt in dem Umgang mit Tieren zeigte. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber und mit herzlichen Details ausgestattet. moderne Zimmer und es funktioniert alles! Danke für einen wundervollen Aufenthalt.

Sehr schöne Lodge, gute Zimmer, sehr nettes Personal. Zimmer etwas weit vom Haupthaus entfernt, nicht so geeignet für Gehbehinderte.
