Ein Neue Welt eröffnet sich in dieser exklusiven kleinen Lodge
Pros:

Die Lage ist außergewöhnlich. Man muss zwar 20 Minuten fahren bis man in die weiten Fläche. Kommt, jedoch kommen viel Tiere ins Valley und man sieht auf dem Weg viel.
Mit Mitarbeitenden sind unwahrscheinlich engagiert und das Essen sehr gut.

Cons:

Ich war erstaunt, dass die Jeeps ohne Wetterschutz wahren. Dies hat Vor- und Nachteile

Every staff member, animal and the location was exeptional.
Pros:

Inzolo lodge was perfectly hidden away from the main reserve so you felt like you were really out in the wilderness looking out over the valley but still in perfect luxury.

Cons:

Nothing

An incredible safari experience for our honeymoon. Didn't want to leave.
Pros:

The safari experience is incredible. The food and drink never stops, and is delicious. We stayed for our honeymoon and the staff couldn't have looked after us any better, with lots of little touches. Very grateful for Inzolo Lodge for amazing memories :D

Pros:

Die Lage der Lodge ist einmalig und sehr schön und das Personal sehr freundlich. Das Essen war sehr gut aber das Frühstück ein wenig bescheiden.

Cons:

Wir haben nicht das Zimmer erhalten welches wir gebucht haben. Es hatte keinen Bademantel noch Slippers auf dem Zimmer und der Kühlschrank war leer. Hier stimmt die Preis Leistung nicht ganz.
Leider war auch die Rangerin für die Safari nicht so kommunikativ.

Enjoyed our stay very much but perhaps not quite as luxurious as expected. Limited options for down time
Pros:

Welcoming, nicely decorated, very comfortable. Staff very friendly and accommodating

Cons:

Food was abundant and generally very tasty but could be hit and miss. Sometimes not as described on menu with things substituted. Weird lack of carbs (none served with lunch unless asked for - no crackers with cheese etc) Also included wine selection did not include a sparkling wine - considering the price paid for the accommodation thought this was a bit ‘cheap’. The lodge asked in advance whether we were celebrating anything special and I replied that it was our 30th wedding anniversary, however this was not marked in any way. Why ask the question if not going to recognise this?

Beautiful private lodge. A true highlicht
Pros:

Beautiful rooms and a very private, exclusive lodge. It felt like something from Hemmingway, with fireplaces for cooler evenings, but white tablecloths and excellent food/wines.

The game drives were excellent and our guide was very knowledgeable. We saw a family of cheetahs chase and kill a deer, which was a highlight of the trip.

One day it rained and the elephants (15 or so) came out to play and bathe in the pond below the lodge. Fantastic!

The most magical 3 days in a beautiful setting hosted by the loveliest staff.
Pros:

Incredible, the lodges were so beautiful and finished to an amazing standard. The location just feels like you’re in a different world, so special. The lodges look over a watering pool so we watched elephants come by every day to drink whilst we ate lunch, amazing!

Cons:

Nothing at all

Such a warm welcome from the very first moment.
Excellent accommodation, outstanding range of wildlife and excellent food.
Wonderful breakfast on the balcony overlooking elephants at the watering hole. Could not be more perfect.

Thank you to all the wonderful staff for a great stay.

In my view, nothing could have been better.
