Beautiful huts and well maintained lodge. Lunch buffet cost 1500 shilling and was not worth that amount at all! (Same for the dinner buffet that was even more expenzive) If you have booked the night game drive and dont have a car, be aware that they might not have any car ready for taking you on the game drive. One star if you go there with no kids - its like a kindergarten, very very kids-noicy! 3 stars if you go there with kids, hende dont care about the noice.

It’s a great unique open space with interesting landscape (both natural and curated). They were doing quite a bit of landscape work while we were there which created some noise and a lot of staff moving about during the day, but it was very quiet and peaceful at night.
