Such a beautiful bush escape. I did a solo birthday trip here and it was honestly perfect, so peaceful and grounding. I even had a giraffe visit me...
Spent 3 nights at the resort. Excellent customer service. Very kind and professional caretakers, chefs, masseuse, waiters, and tour guides. The breakfast and Dinner were buffet style with a different menu each serving. Really had an amazing time. The full body massage was impeccable.
