"This is an amazing hidden gem! The name "tents" underdescribes the facilities: these are beautiful cabins that would put some hotels to shame. And the cabins have private showers and bathrooms. The facility also has a very small pool. Sandi, the owner, is caring, the food is very good, and the tours in the Park with the Park rangers are informative and a great experience. I saw a lot of animals, including elefants, monkeys, antilopes and crocodiles, but I understand that I was lucky and it...

This means that I paid twice but I am not complaining as the price was so low. The hotel room was super basic with no running water and no sink. Very friendly and helpful owner."

"Stedet ligger rigtig godt. Kom for at slappe af og nyde stedet ved søen. Der var ekstremt høj musik hele eftermiddagen og aftenen til kl 24:00 hvorefter der blev skruet ned til normal volume indtil 02:00 Så afslapning var ikke muligt og tale sammen var næsten umuligt. Noget forvirrende check inn procedure"
