Na enkele negatieve recensies te hebben gelezen wil ik deze een beetje rechtzetten. Het park, direct aan de weg gelegen ziet er met de in Afrikaanse kleuren geschilderde patronen erg leuk uit. Ook van binnen zijn de huisjes sfeervol en het is erg leuk dat je wat dieren tussen de huisjes kunt vinden. Het was erg rustig in ons huisje op de ventilator na die overuren moet draaien omdat er geen (broodnodige) airco aanwezig is en helaas ook geen koelkastje. Het zwembad is wat aan de kleine kant voor de grootte van het park en zou ook wat aandacht kunnen gebruiken al is het nog niet storend. Het personeel en eten waren prima.

Over het geheel leuke accommodatie. Wat er wel zou moeten zijn is een airco op de kamer . Voor de prijs en de hitte in de zomer . De fan kan alleen maar gardven heel hard wat erg hard waait als je ligt te slapen . We vonden t zwembad in verhouding met de aantal huisje best klein . En deze kan wat love and care gebruiken .

+ personeel is super vriendelijk en erg gaaf die beesten tussen de hutten. - geen airco. Is niet verantwoord in de/hun zomer. Geen koelkastje, slechte verlichting en met al die ongedierte is dat niet prettig. Eten vonden wij niet heel goed en duurder dan wat we op andere plekken betaalde.

Oké accomodatie, echter geen aanrader. Goede punten: - Lodges zien er vrolijk uit van de buitenkant, authentieke style - Zebra’s, zwijnen en ossen lopen tussen de lodges door op het terrein - Vriendelijk personeel Minpunten: - Geen airco in de hutten, dus is zeer warm en bedompt en ruikt daardoor ook muf - Twee dagen geen warm water gehad - Aan de overkant van de weg zit een township welke constant MEGA herrie maken, keiharde muziek en geschreeuw. Dit hoor je door het gehele park, de hele dag en hele nacht (!!) door - Zwembad is erg vies, vol blad en insecten - Lodges kunnen ook schoner. Vloer is vies, sanitair is erg gedateerd waardoor alles er smoezelig uitziet Er zullen betere opties zijn.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Porters available to carry luggage. Lodging is in individual brightly coloured huts with straw roofs and a patio with 2 chairs and a table. The room and bathroom were clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable with clean white linen. The shower nozzle had low flow but had hot water. Needs updated shower head. Lighting was fair to good. There was no A/C but there was a ceiling fan and a portable vertical fan. The temperature for the 3 days and nights spent here was 37-38 deg C. Despite the fans, the room was very hot and uncomfortable for sleeping. The internet worked at the bar and pool area. Our hut was close to this so we had internet in our room. The included breakfast had hot and cold items. The dinners were absolutely delicious, and included many different dishes. The chef is truly talented. There is an onsite gift shop, bar and pool

The accommodation is basic as expected in the bush. The beds were comfortable & clean. The staff were helpful & friendly on the whole. The rooms would be more comfortable with a small fridge to keep some cool drinks as would be very hot in summer. No air-conditioning but 2 fans provided in the room. The food was very good & breakfast boxes provided for early safari starts.
