    Nice food in general, beautiful location with a lot of birdlife, and near the Saanane national park Island where we had excellent excursion.

    The best hotel I have ever stayed. There’s such a nice and calm environment. The staff is the best. I always come to this hotel and it feels like coming home.

    For location it was really nice being right on the lake but walking distance to the town. My room was on the African Queen and it was clean and comfortable and roomy. The staff was friendly and pleasant. They even remembered me from last...
