"The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The executive tent was nice. The safari game drives were very good. Our guide, Robert, was very knowledgeable and a joy to spend time with. The "continental breakfast" was good but the food was cold as it was served outside and our mornings were chilly. For those wanting to have some adult coctails be aware that they do not serve alcohol or allow it outside of your room."
