Beautiful views from the hotel deck, we sat there watching elephants and hippos for hours, we even saw a hyena! The hotel staff were all incredible attentive, we felt extremely well looked after. The hotel was also spotless! Highly recommend visiting!

The hotel was lovely, great food in the restaurant, fabulous viewing deck, but bedroom would be too small if staying for longer than a couple of days. The safari was great and our guide was amazing at spotting things - saw numerous leopards. Breakfast included in the room rate, but this was always a pack up, as we were out on safari.
