It was just lovely having comfort and nice accommodations but still feeling like you were out in the wilderness. The monkeys in the tree right outside our door were such a sweet added bonus

We had issues during our check in that took too long to resolve. After a 3 hour drive we had to wait more than 1 hour because they could not see our payment made online. Despite us showing all the proof we had (receipts and transactions) and asking to see the manager to resolve it, we were held at the reception and asked to pay there multiple times. However the staff more than made up for it during our stay. They were very helpful and cooperative. The activities were interesting as well, especially the safari (we got lucky and spotted all the species present in the reserve). The place is quiet and peaceful as you would expect in a natural reserve.

Exceptional customer service, great to hang out by the water hole during the day. We enjoyed the safari, the lion walk, spent time with the baby lions, did a boat excursion on the mangrove and a visit if the village. The staff was really helpful with everything and smiling. We loved our stay there!
