Wonderful Remote Rustic Hotel
If you like rustic settings and a Natural African experience this is the place to stay.. Its remote, its natural, Its rustic and its wonderful. Very friendly and helpful staff who go out of their way to help and be of assistance. We had to leave very early one morning so the prepared us a take-away breakfast. I would highly recommend this experience as one of a lifetime

Don't Trust Google Maps
NOTE: The location listed on Google Maps is not incorrect. Just stay on the road until you see the sign. While the lodge is quite nice, it is in the bush and there is little electricity.

ich habe Ihnen bereits ausführlich geschrieben 2 Mitarbeiter haben die lodge noch nicht verlassen, alle andern sind davon gelaufen, was die Gründe auch immer sein mögen. Das Restaurant ist geschlossen, keine Angaben auf der Website, die nächste Möglichkeit was zu essen oder kaufen ist 15km entfernt. Es ist in der absoluten Wildnis, was sehr schön wäre, sollte aber auf der Website vermerkt sein, damit man genügend einkauft
