No issues

The property is in serious disrepair! The veranda had a hole in it they just covered with a chair. The toilet had fesces in it. The pool was green with algae. The didn’t tell us there was no power and were running on a generator that the turned off in the night with no warning leaving us in the dark completely. (Not even a flash light). We had a 6 am game drive, and didn’t turn the generator till 10 minutes to 6. Tree had fallen across the pathway. I feel bad for the staff, for they are the ones to lose the most.

The lodge is amazing and we got to see elephants during the day and night next to our room. They quoted us a ridiculous amount for transport from/to Vic Falls so we had to make our own way there for a third of the price. There were more people going to Vic Falls the same day so I feel they could make an effort to make transport easy, fair and eco-friendly for their guests. Apart from that, we loved the lodge and the safari experience was amazing. We would have loved to stay more nights. Patrick was a great guide and spotter so 5 stars to him.

We loved the opportunity to relax in beautiful surroundings. We got to watch elephants drinking in the nearby waterhole in the dark and see the impalas jumping around. We enjoyed splashing about in the pool and listening to the elephants drink as we sat around a camp fire. Unfortunately the lodge needs some refurbishment and the staff weren't as hospitable as we have found in Zimbabwe. Our shower didnt work properly so we had to use another chalets shower. The kettle we were given had the wrong plug so we had to go into the main building to boil the kettle. For what we paid for the lodge for one night it wasnt worth the money. The meal we were given was very expensive for what we received.
