This place wouldn’t be amazing if not with the people managing and servicing it. We had the opportunity to be welcomed and taken cared by Jean he is a jack of all trades… from reception, a guide and helping us book for game drives, ensuring we are all acquainted in the lodge and its facilities and made sure our things are safe! (We extended our stay and been out for the game drive and he taken cared of moving our things to the new room - same location as if it never changed room) Money is worth every penny in this place and much recommended than an equal 4 star hotel in the city.
