    The people were amazing! We had the best safari with Sam and Wendi, we saw all the big 5, and they really did our best to make it the best experience. Everyone was so friendly, Nora and Solomon in particular. I can highly recommend this logde, the rooms are super clean, we got new towels twice a day. The food and the vibe was perfect.

    Firstly shout out to Eunivers and Sam. They really went out of their way to give us a full experience of the wildlife. I can safely say they were the highlight of the whole stay. The food was great, they've got variety to serve. The bonfire setting was lovely. Staff went above and beyond. Very friendly. Spacious bathroom and rooms in general. Outside shower 😜 No fencing so you experience all the animals literally in your back yard Also got to meet a lot of people. It's a great experience guys.
