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.

Mmm.
Though fine, the room did nòt match the photos provided. Pillows were horrible - well past their prime. Food was quite good. First time in my entire life I had to pay for drinks on a game-drive. The lodge has small things it can improve on that will make a huge overall difference. Most staff were excellent.

Wonderful - with one small suggestion!
This place is all about the game drives. That's why do you go here. And these are excellent! The vehicles are well maintained, comfortable, and arranges a knowledgeable and friendly. Back at the hotel the staff are friendly and accommodating. The hotel overall is comfortably luxurious. The type of place where you wouldn't feel out of place just relaxing with a good book and a cocktail. My only suggestion for improvement and this is not a complaint, is that the level of table service could be improved. The waiting staff sometimes appeared a little confused as to which tables to serve over whether or not the table had ordered food. In the same vein, the wait for cocktails or cappuccinos was quite long. However, it's not as if we were rushing out to do anything else! And the place we were waiting was absolutely beautiful. And having said all that, without any prompting or encouragement from me, the staff went out of their way to ensure my wife's birthday was memorable!

The lodge is excellent. However, the park is short of animals to view. A nic elephant herd if you are lucky and good Rhinos but otherwise skimpy viewing.
