Die wunderschöne Lodge entschädigt die lange Anfahrt.

10.0

Die Lodge war ein Traum, das Chalet umwerfend. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Frühstück und Abendessen waren sehr, sehr gut. Konnten bei der Löwenfütterung dabei sein .

Die Anfahrt war sehr abgelegen, wir mussten viele Kilometer auf der Schotterstrasse fahren. Aber man kann sich auch abholen lassen.

It was a good experience

6.0

Nice big room with a huge bathroom. Roar of lions during the night made a good rememberable experience.

On arrival someone else was booked to our room. Not enough towels. Maintenance is lacking with e.g. light bulbs blown.

It was exceptional.

10.0

The breakfast good and loved that it was set closer to the pool as requested. The roar of the lions in the morning and evening was exceptional.

The flies fortunately it was resolved quickly.

Great staff and food but resort needs urgent update. Not 5 star anymore!

7.0

The staff were fantastic trying their best with service and food.

The resort used to be “5 star” but it is now barely “2 Star” The property have great potential but it shows serious signs lack of investment for modernisation and upkeep from owners
