Again we stayed here for 2 nights and the best safari with local hotel guides taking us to the right locations and the kids had their first sights on seeing the leopard and lion families. All worth it and thanks to all the management and staff.

A/C would have been nice but there is a ceiling fan, unfortunately it was badly positioned and offered little help with the mugginess. Lots of wildlife kept us entertained all day long..Our safari drives were brilliant and we were delighted... More
