Excellent Bush Experience

excellent game drivesfriendly staffunique atmospherepower outage

The game drives proved excellent with our guide. I found the staff very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The boma dinner under the stars created a unique atmosphere. I won't forget that experience.

I found that the power stopped working one night. My phone was uncharged the next morning. This was quite inconvenient as I needed it for contacting family.

The game drives were really good, i remember spotting lions and a leopard thanks to tsu tsu, our fantastic guide. aw led us on two lovely walking safaris. We got close to an elephant! the location near the water area made for captivating wildlife sightings, a true african dream.

Dinner was to be at the boma originally though we instead had dinner at the bush lodge. I really wanted the boma.
