2 guests' feedbackMany thanks to Ivan and Jumari for an incredible forest experience! This lodge has an excellent location. Elephants, rhinos and a variety of large game visited the waterhole. Relax on the deck, in the pool or Jacuzzi while the wildlife comes to you. Well equipped and beautifully laid out. Five star service. What more can one ask for.
Our overseas guests (from Switzerland) had a fantastic time!
