    Beautiful lodge nestled in nature, with a friendly and helpful staff. The location of the lodge was perfect, providing a tranquil setting. The staff went above and beyond to assist with arranging activities such as game drives and boat rides. They even provided transportation to and from the park entrance. The lodge grounds were well-maintained and offered a peaceful atmosphere to relax in.

    There was a certain uneven treatment of guides compared to other guests. This policy gave a sense of old-fashioned colonialism, which was not acceptable.
