Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was rustic and completely in context of the bush experience. Located beautifully within the Queen Elizabeth National Park and a good comfortable distance to both the boat ramp and various game park trails.

Bij Queen Elizabeth NP

Leuk kleinschalig lodge park, ruim opgezet. Bestaat uit twee gedeeltes, ertussen is een schooltje (neem wat speelgoed of schoolbenodigdheden mee. Een paar trossen bananen afleveren geeft ook heel veel blijdschap!) Park heeft heel vriendelijk personeel, eten is er super! Park ligt in Queen Elizabeth park (wel apart entree betalen), de eigenaar (Innocent) kan je een safaritour aanbieden en heeft een leuke boottrip op de rivier (nijlpaarden e.v.a dieren gegarandeerd!) Bij de lodge hebben wij vanaf ons terras de olifanten voorbij zien lopen!
