The suites are set spaciously apart, allowing for secluded views of the unspoiled bush.

Thank you for he recommendation - glad the hippo gave you some action - usually they are very chilled! It seems like your game drives were excellent !
We were happy with everything! The staff was very friendly, the rooms were great, the safaris were awesome (saw everything we wanted to see in the first 2 trips out), and the food was awesome! Would recommend this lodge to family and friends.
