The lodge is absolutely beautiful. Fireplace/heaters and electric blankets for the winter and boma fireplace and pool for the summer. Staff are very kind and accommodating!

The road requires a bigger car or 4x4 for the last bit of the gravel road. We came in a Prado which handled the road well.

Guest review

6.0

Nicht für Herbst(beginn) geeignet: Extrem kalt nachts, Heizdecke funktionierte nur im halben Bett, Gasheizgerät war kaputt und konnte nicht ausgetauscht werden, Feuerholz war nass und brannte nicht. Das Essen wäre höchstens für ein mittelmäßiges Holiday-Inn angemessen gewesen und entsprach nicht im geringsten dem Preis und angeblichen „4 Sternen“ der Unterkunft.

Very enjoyable especially the Elephant Encounter which was amazing

9.0

Excellent breakfast as were all meals. Staff very friendly. Accessibility very difficult on horrendous roads to get there. You do need a 4X4 and although we had a SUV it was difficult. Access to rooms was steep especially for the elderly as no vehicles could get to rooms. We had lovely accommodation with great views

The game drive was disappointing as windscreen very dirty and could only see out of side windows. Until it rained and then side panels were dropped so could not see at all...
