    Fantastic stay with awesome chalet and service. Visited by elephants right at the fence. Super game drives with fantastic sightings!!The staff are very friendly and helpful. Chalets are roomy and clean. Linen was crispy and great to sleep under.

    Lovely place

    The place was nice and quiet. The service was also nice. The room was big and beautiful. I love the service about safari there. The only thing that I don't like was food. Breakfast and lunch and dinner almost the same foods.More

    Suggest you book up front, the food is excellent and every time we ate there it was fairly packed. Unknown if you can access form outside, we stayed in the camp.
