Always an amazing stay
Our stay at this lodge is always amazing. The stuff is extremely friendly and professional. The actual grounds are super pretty. It's a calming environment. Our baby also loved it. Thank you to the restaurant staff always go the extra mile to make our baby happy. Only issue is the wifi, but it wasn't the end of the world. We actually appreciate the downtime.

Overall good stay
The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we checked in. The food was excellent, it is not the usual buffet style you would expect from a half board offering, but instead it was plated with a good variety of menu options. The venue itself is nice, I did think I was going to see some elephants, but they are wild and roam as they please, that said we did see plenty game come past the watering hole on the property. My only 2 issues with the venue is that it is not child friendly, balconies and large drops do not have balustrades, you have to keep a constant eye on younger kids and there are not many kid activities available. My other issue is that the bathrooms are a bit dated and could do with a revamp.
