January 2010 Great place for a safari
Ginny Bovell from London
We had a great holiday and stayed here for a few nights. We also stayed at White Sands at the coast. This was the highlight though as we'd never been on a safari before. I hadn't realised how exciting it would be to see the animals in the wild. The lodge was really funky being on stilts. It wasn't top, top class luxury but the rooms were comfortable and it was great for a safari - we actually loved it. There was a lovely atmosphere with the staff and the food was pretty good. The best thing was just being out in the amazing wilds of Africa surrounded by beautiful scenery and seeing elephant, lion, zebra,and so many other animals it's hard for me to write them all down but we seemed to be so lucky and saw nearly everything.
