The moment we arrived we were greeted with warm towels to clean our hands and cool drinks to refresh ourselves. It made us feel very welcomed. Everyday they truly made us feel like special guests, customer service and attention was absolutely exceptional. Our rooms were consistently tended to and cleaned very well. Simon ( the ranger) and Adolf ( the tracker) on our safari drives were excellent and very knowledgable; they ensured we got a great experience with each drive. In particular their passion for the animals and respect towards all the guests was what made our stay that much more memorable. Highly Recomend, this is by far one of the most beautiful places to have a vacation.
