Excellent accommodation and dining at the Lodge. We had great game drives with our Guides (Polly, German and Yuli) and Tracker (Eddie). Highly recommended!

The moment we arrived we were greeted with warm towels to clean our hands and cool drinks to refresh ourselves. It made us feel very welcomed. Everyday they truly made us feel like special guests, customer service and attention was absolutely exceptional. Our rooms were consistently tended to and cleaned very well. Simon ( the ranger) and Adolf ( the tracker) on our safari drives were excellent and very knowledgable; they ensured we got a great experience with each drive. In particular their passion for the animals and respect towards all the guests was what made our stay that much more memorable. Highly Recomend, this is by far one of the most beautiful places to have a vacation.

Pedacinho de paraíso
Tive problemas no check out pois a menina que estava no balcão não falava inglês muito bem, passou meu cartão duas vezes e disse que não funcionou. Paguei em dinheiro. Por fim, as duas tentativas foram confirmadas pelo cartão e com isso paguei três vezes a mesma conta. Fora isso, foi tudo maravilhoso. Equipe incrível, SPA maravilhoso, comida muito boa, pessoal hospitaleiro. Nossos Guias Matthews e Fredy, the bests!!!

conheceno so Big Fives da África
O local é sensacional, quarto integrado ao ambiente, impossível não se encontrar com pelo menos três dos Bigs fives, o Game é um caso a parte e os guias são atenciosos e explicam tudo. O Hotel tem um serviço muito bom, da recepção ao restaurante, tudo bem planejado e pensado no cliente. No primeiro dia encontramos um grupo de Leões que estavam comendo uma girafa.
