Was a fabulous experience, we unfortunately were back from the line of tents that back onto the savannah so we couldn't see any animals from our "room". This was due to having 5 people in our family, all the rooms alone the savannah only hold 4. Dinner and breakfast was amazing, tours were excellent, guides very knowledgeable. Room spacious, was cold but had blankets and aircon/heater. For the price per night felt they could make it a little more personable for kids etc.

Although expensive this is an excellent stay. The room is very comfortable and spacious. The bed is very comfortable. The shower is excellent. The view from the balcony in generally is wonderful. The guides were informative and very helpful. We were able to visit the lions after dinner and it was well worth it given the heat of the day had gone and they were active.
