“Staying here places you wonderfully close to the park gates, while the resort itself offers surprising tranquility and well-spaced accommodations. The staff earn high praise for their attentiveness and willingness to assist with safari arrangements, including night drives. I was particularly intrigued by the diverse menu, with the opportunity to sample local flavors like crocodile.”
