"We had a wonderful stay at the Stc safari lodge. The rooms are simple, but clean. The food was excellent, mainly from their own farm, with meat and veggie options for lunch and dinner. Very good breakfast too, with delicious watermelon juice. We got a nice tour at the farm by one of the sisters. Thank you all for an unforgettable stay. "

"As the name would imply, the hotel is located uphill from the main street of the town. The rooms were spacious and were separated by a wall, so each person had their own section. The bathroom was an issue as the toilet, sink and shower were all in the same place, so that if someone had a shower, the whole floor would get wet. The wi-fi was inconsistent but worked better in the dining area. The restaurant had minimal options and you had to order what you wanted for the evening hours beforehand. I...

Lilac Hideaway

Lilac Hideaway

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay at lilac hideaway but the thing that stood out most are the way they stepped up to help guests with travel plans We rented a dud 4x4 and it would not start after we checked in - but Eli jumped in an d organized mechanics to come and then drove with us to take the car to the mechanics once they had gotten a new battery in. The car had no brake or transmission fluids and an corroded alternator wire - Eli stayed at the mechanic while we got some food next door The mechanics also said the front tire was shot but they were closing and Eli actually swapped out the bad tire for the spare the next morning before we went to Ngorongoro crater And, after we checked out for our trip to Serengeti, lilac hideaway coordinated with their sister hotel to let us leave our car and extra luggage at that hotel and then arranged for a taxi to take us to the airport and then to pick us up on return to go back and get our bags and car All about customer service at the lilac hotels!"

Another of those “oops - too close!” moments on my Dragoman trip around Southern #Africa in 2011 (see my post from a couple of days ago for an accidental close-up of a giraffe). This #lion was having a #lazy morning in the #Ngorongoro Crater, #Tanzania 🇹🇿, just a few metres from our #safari truck. My #300mm lens got me right in his #face! #LifeAtExpedia
