Best place to begin or close your safari!
We had a lovely stay in this resort! The view was amazing! It was the last night of our safari and it was the best! It was our 6th anniversary and they made a lovely cake for us and sang with the whole team for us! Our waiter Joseph was so kind and did everything for us. We are coming back, that is for sure!
