Great safari, overpriced accommodations, spa is very basic.

5.0

Safari rangers, breakfast and sunset drinks in the bush were the best. Food at the restaurant was decent.

Hotel need update and renovation, it's outdated and lack the luxury fleeing to match the very elevated price. The pool is really tiny.
