It was just lovely having comfort and nice accommodations but still feeling like you were out in the wilderness. The monkeys in the tree right outside our door were such a sweet added bonus

De l’arrivée au départ tout étais parfait. Le site, les tentes complètement WoW!!! Le restaurant et les repas, le rhinocéros qui est venu nous voir au souper tout prêt de la piscine, la marche au lion, une expérience incroyable et le safari petit mais intéressant.

We had issues during our check in that took too long to resolve. After a 3 hour drive we had to wait more than 1 hour because they could not see our payment made online. Despite us showing all the proof we had (receipts and transactions) and asking to see the manager to resolve it, we were held at the reception and asked to pay there multiple times. However the staff more than made up for it during our stay. They were very helpful and cooperative. The activities were interesting as well, especially the safari (we got lucky and spotted all the species present in the reserve). The place is quiet and peaceful as you would expect in a natural reserve.

Exceptional customer service, great to hang out by the water hole during the day. We enjoyed the safari, the lion walk, spent time with the baby lions, did a boat excursion on the mangrove and a visit if the village. The staff was really helpful with everything and smiling. We loved our stay there!

Positionnement exceptionnel au sein de la réserve. Du coup prisonnier du site (bar, restaurant). Menu fixe obligatoire (enfin pas d'autre choix)

Handtücher werden nicht gewechselt. Fenster haben nur mosquitonetze und die aircondition geht ins nichts. Oder fenster Verdunklung den ganzen tag im zelt. Frühstück magere auswahl. Busher schlechtestes. Im Restaurant auch nicht starke ventilatoren kritik nicht angenommen. Uns nur vor die türgesetzt. Aberden transfer nicht zahlen lassen. Personal aüsserst nett wenn man nicht das komplette menu essen will somdern nur einen salat muss man trotzdem 25€ p. P. Zahlen. Selbst wifi ist nur mit extrabox möglich und zusätzlich zu zahlen. Personal sehr hilfsbereit.

Well organised trips and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The luxurious tents lived up to their internet photos and description. We were welcomed with cold flannels to cool us down from our long drive and given iced hibiscus drinks. We saw giraffe, zebras, elands, and a white rhino as well as a range of exotic birdlife. The food was very good as was the service. The pool was lovely to cool down in the heat too. Fabulous.
