After a rather arduous approach, it was lovely to come 'round the bend and see the lodge, perfect lawns, peach colored walls, tucked into the bush, on the river. I loved this place. Yes - there was a "hotel" like atmosphere, no , it was not camping out.

However, the staff was absolutely wonderful, the food excellent and the guides were amazingly well-informed. I especially enjoyed the "water safaris" at dawn. There was not one bird or animal I asked about that the guide was not completely at home in describing.

If you go, it was a highlight of my trip to speak with and become acquainted with, the staff. All the people were so kind, gentle, interesting and just NICE. What a revelation! Hotel staff that seemed genuinely delighted to have guests! Anyway, I've traveled a lot, and would definitely go back! I felt privileged to be there.
