Reviews and Ratings
We booked a family safari tent for three nights, expecting a memorable experience in a unique setting. While the tent was spacious and in a quiet area of the campground, it showed signs of wear and tear, and we faced several cleanliness and maintenance issues during our stay. The dining experience at the restaurant was quite good, but the wildlife interaction was minimal, which was disappointing. Overall, for the $340 per night, I expected better accommodations and service.
I had a decent stay overall, with clean accommodations and a comfortable bed. The location was great for exploring the area, and the staff at reception were lovely and helpful. However, the dining options were limited, and the restaurant needs some updates. The price felt a bit high for what was offered.
Our stay had its ups and downs. We enjoyed beautiful tours and a stunning sunset, but faced several issues with our accommodations that really detracted from the experience. While the location is absolutely breathtaking, the facilities and service need some serious attention to match the price we paid.
The location is stunning, surrounded by beautiful nature, and the staff initially provided a warm welcome. Unfortunately, our room was dated and needed better cleaning and maintenance. Dining experiences were hit or miss, with breakfast being particularly disappointing. Overall, we enjoyed our time exploring the area, but the accommodation left much to be desired.
