Great place to stay!
What a Beautiful Resort with Fantastic Service. Very friendly staff, good food. You can see how much work is put into the resort. What a rule and organization is behind it when you also go on safari and everyone comes back to the resort after a few days. I guess people don't always get that, compliments to everyone.We will definitely come back again in combination with a safari! Roll it up
