Ein tolles Hotel - mit einem Makel: wir hatten Zimmer 5, das leider wirklich muffig / feucht gerochen hat. Ich weiß, dass das Hotel älter ist, weil Freunde vor 8 Jahren dort waren, und glaube es ist einfach renovierungsbedürftig. Auch manche Wände mit (Wasser)Flecken im Haupthaus. Man riecht es direkt beim Betreten des Zimmers und unsere Klamotten haben seitdem gerochen. Hervorzuheben ist aber: tolles Personal das gut englisch spricht! Und tolles Essen, das sehr frisch zubereitet und toll angerichtet wird. Jeden Tag etwas Neues Leckeres. Für uns hätte es etwas weniger sein können, da man es eigentlich nicht schaffen kann und man ein schlechtes Gewissen hat, Essen zurückgehen zu lassen. Der Safari Guide David hat alles gegeben und uns die Big Five ermöglicht! Außerdem eine tolle, schnelle Kommunikation vorab mit Linda! Wir würden sofort wiederkommen und es weiterempfehlen, wenn es renoviert wird.

Super prestations mais safari game décevant

Proprete irréprochable. Bel endroit au milieu de la brousse avec un point d’eau pour attirer les animaux. Tres bons repas et breakfast. Nous avons ete decus par le safari game lodge en 3 heures nous avons vu quelques elephants et girafes, quelques hyene, 1 rhinocéros tout de même. Aucun fauve a part 1 lion de très loin car 5 voitures dessus. Notre guide a beaucoup tourné sans plus de succès. Franchement pour le prix nous sommes très déçus a ce niveau car nous avons vu beaucoup plus d’animaux au parc gouvernemental bien moins cher. Si vous cherchez le confort ok mais pour les animaux la reserve semble bien pauvre.

Bel posto, bella atmosfera. Ma il lodge avrebbe bisogno di un po' più di cura nei dettagli e soprattutto di una migliore organizzazione. Colazione, pranzo e cena andrebbero sicuramente migliorati...ovviamente il tutto rapportato al prezzo che si paga: per circa 700-800€ al giorno, aldilà dei safari, ci si aspetta qualcosa in più.

The HIGHLIGHT of any trip to the Bush - the safari! What makes the difference of the safari is the lodge you stay with.

Um sonho de lugar com uma equipe incrível!

Excelente hotel, com ótima localização. A equipara era muito atenciosa, especialmente o Jason que fez de tudo para que fosse uma viagem memorável. O hotel é um sonho, o pessoal que lá trabalha nem se fala. O motorista das games rides (David) foi incrível. Realmente, me senti em casa longe de casa. Voltarei mais vezes para esse maravilhoso local.
