We had issues during our check in that took too long to resolve. After a 3 hour drive we had to wait more than 1 hour because they could not see our payment made online. Despite us showing all the proof we had (receipts and transactions) and asking to see the manager to resolve it, we were held at the reception and asked to pay there multiple times. However the staff more than made up for it during our stay. They were very helpful and cooperative. The activities were interesting as well, especially the safari (we got lucky and spotted all the species present in the reserve). The place is quiet and peaceful as you would expect in a natural reserve.

Exceptional customer service, great to hang out by the water hole during the day. We enjoyed the safari, the lion walk, spent time with the baby lions, did a boat excursion on the mangrove and a visit if the village. The staff was really helpful with everything and smiling. We loved our stay there!

Well organised trips and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The luxurious tents lived up to their internet photos and description. We were welcomed with cold flannels to cool us down from our long drive and given iced hibiscus drinks. We saw giraffe, zebras, elands, and a white rhino as well as a range of exotic birdlife. The food was very good as was the service. The pool was lovely to cool down in the heat too. Fabulous.

Great place. Comfortable rooms and great animal sight seeing. We spent christmas there. Does not realky feel like christnas at all. Breakfast is good, other meals are mediocre and service is slow. Not too many mosquitoes. Only one rhino and a small number of animals but lion walk can not be missed and playing with the cubs is exceptional

Sehr freundlicher Service, Frühstück ok, Abendessen gute Qualität. Spektakuläre Tierbegegnungen. Lodge bietet Transfer z.B. zur senegalesisch-gambischen Grenze oder zur Fähre. Nachteilig: Schwimmbadein-und Ausstieg für Menschen mit Knieproblemen mangels Leiter schwierig.

Freundliches Personal , sehr sauber. Aber Pool für Menschen mit Knieproblemen kaum benutzbar, weil keine normale Leiter und nur sehr hohe Stufen ohne Geländer. Frühstück à la carte war nicht möglich, man musste Bufett nehmen oder nichts. Preis 18€ viel zu teuer für die gebotene Auswahl.
