Pros:

Havre de paix à l'intérieur d'un parc absolument magnifique. Les chambres sont grandes et calmes. Le restaurant sous forme de buffet fait gagner de temps et offre la possibilité d'avoir des lunch box très appréciables avant de partir en safari.

Cons:

Il manque peut-être une carte du parc avec les temps de trajets vers différents lieux pour se préparer au mieux au safari du lendemain. Le bar est sincèrement très, très lent à servir les boissons.. on a attendu parfois 20min pour un verre.. baby-foot et billard sont aussi vieillot et mériteraient d'être changés.

Over-priced
Pros:

The location is amazing and the staff are friendly

Cons:

The food was ok but every meal was a buffet, staff very reluctant to offer à la carte. The outside bar is poor and the indoor bar overran by children. Toiletries, towels and water are given (apparently) reluctantly.
