I had the opportunity to visit this lovely lodge and stay for about a week! I truly was captivated and at times, I felt as though I were back in Africa (sans serve poverty and crime). Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor overlooking the Savanah – you’ll get the best view of the animals from these areas. Also, be sure to do the night viewing of the animals – its free (at least in 2003) and you get to wear these cool night vision goggles! We also had LOTS of towel animals left in our room each day when we went to check out the parks. The pool and the resturants are also very nice as well.

Only one complaint (and it’s not even that big a deal) – the lodge is very far from the parks, so the bus ride can be a little long. However, it’s like 15 minutes instead of 5 – no biggie, since the bus is air conditioned :-)
