Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This place is truly special. It offers stunning river views, where you can often spot hippos. The staff were helpful and welcoming. Our room was not large, but it was comfortable and well suited for an enjoyable stay. The lodge is very charming and rich in history, and a wonderful bonus was seeing animals come to feed right in the garden area.
