expect excellence, but prepare for something exceptional

10.0

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some places meet your expectations. A few exceed them. Oase by 7 Star Lodges did something even rarer—it completely redefined them. From the moment we arrived, Liz and Arline made us feel as though we had stepped into a Fantasy Island.Their warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality instantly made us feeling at home and set the tone for what would become one of the most memorable trips of our lives. NJ, Vanessa, and Octavia made every meal a special experience. Their attention to detail, friendliness, and constant desire to make every guest feel cared for were truly remarkable. It wasn’t just the food—it was the feeling of being welcomed and looked after as if we were family. The safari experience was nothing short of extraordinary. CJ has a unique gift for making you feel completely immersed in nature. One day he told us, “Appreciate the small things, and when you least expect it, the big things will appear.” That simple advice perfectly captured our experience. He taught us to slow down, observe, and enjoy every detail of the bush, making every drive exciting and meaningful. We were also fortunate to spend time with Surprise, whose knowledge, experience, and instincts led us to incredible close encounters with the Big Five. His passion for wildlife and ability to read the bush made every safari unforgettable. What truly sets Oase apart are the unexpected moments. Gourmet picnics by the river, cooking classes, fishing experiences, breathtaking sunsets from a terrace high above the property, and countless thoughtful surprises along the way. Just when you think the experience cannot get any better, it somehow does. David and his wife are exceptional hosts. They have created something very special—an experience that feels luxurious yet personal, elegant yet warm. Their passion is reflected in every aspect of the lodge and in the incredible team they have built around them.
