Stuff was awesome, super friendly, location has exceptional view to their local fall. Food was always fresh and always prepared by the chef. I made a proposal to my girlfriend at this hotel. Everything I asked was done just fabulous. I am grateful for everyone. For sure I will come back to this place.

Luxurious perfection from the moment you arrive.

10.0

Staying here was the highlight of our Africa trip. The views were outstanding, the staff were super friendly and everyone went out of their way to make every day special. it was everything we expected and more.

− i didn't like coming home...! its hard to find any faults to be honest but if i had to be super picky it would be to have shower gel/shampoo etc but both the shower and the bath as you would have to move them back and forth when using one or the other. but this was so minor and certainly dint affect our stay.

Best destination ever

10.0

In a perfect location, the amazing view overlooking the vast valley from the deck is all to yourself, where they set up the dinner for us. Each one of the meals were all very satisfying , just the right taste And not to mention, the superb Safari experience guided by experienced team, who knows it all. We saw a big herd elephants, cheetah hunting, brother lions eating their prey! This indeed luxury lodge of exquisite taste is yet cozy with very hearty hospitality.

− Can’t think of anything
