This Safari hotel is great for a family for a vacation. We enjoy staying here for four nights. The room is spacious and the bedding is comfortable. Although this hotel is a bit old, it does not bother our family. Our room can see the animals in the distance which we like the most

10/10 Exceptional

What a wonderful experience, to sit on your veranda and watch Giraffes, Rhinos and Wildebeests, and feel completely safe. The room was lovely, and easy access to the Safari Park, and all it had to offer, with the cost already built into the cost of the accommodation for most things. Will easily stay there again, and recommend to others.
