A luxury stay with the warmth of home.

What can I say other than I would love to return year after year to this place. From the staff who greeted us to the ranger and tracker who accompanied us in open Land Rovers on our small group safaris, every single person gave us care, attention and made us feel so very welcome. We saw amazing wildlife (6 of the Magnificent Seven), and even did some exciting off-roading in pursuit of a glimpse of the rarely seen African wild dogs who were running in a pack. Honestly, I could have driven all day rather than just the inclusive morning and evening safaris. The ranger and tracker who were dedicated to us during our stay were incredibly knowledgeable, and I realised they put their lives at risk every day in order to ensure that they track and spot animals for us - even if it means going into the bush by foot to follow trails. The hotel provides a printed morning "newsletter" covering the news we may have missed (no TV anywhere in the lodge, yay! But lots of free wifi). It's how we found out Hugh Hefner died. They also leave a nightly African folktale by your bedside when they turn down the bed in the evening. The rangers double up as bartenders and dinner hosts by night and the chefs personally tailored a menu for another guest who was a fussy eater. The hotel is also focused on ecology and sustainability, although I would have like to know more about how they responsibly source and heat water and electricity. And the best for last: You can view wildlife from your private loo!
