  • Awesome experience

    Fantastic experience. Lodge checked on ETA. We were met at the entrance by a friendly guide. Arrival at the lodge was an event. Staff were waiting as we arrived. We were given hand towels to refresh and an ice cold drink. Nothing was too much for the staff. They were fantastic. The chef carefully planned meals around dietary requirements. The rooms are beautiful and we never felt the heat. Facilities are great. The game drive was an awesome experience. What a landscape.
