Travel reviews by The G Family from Middx

"No real means of comparison as it was our first safari experience, but we were told by other guests that this lodge experience was of a luxury standard.

The only downside was that the lodge was based outside of Hwange National Park, so the trips to and from the park killed a bit of time. Not a problem if you're planning to spend a minimum of 4 nights, but for a 2 night trip, I would recommend a lodge which is based in the National Park. Otherwise, the location was fantastic, in terms of there being plenty to see around the lodge.

A few creepy crawlies around in the room, but that was to be expected.

Food was of a very high standard, but portions could have been more generous. The drinks on offer were great, nothing more expected.

The staff and service were of the highest standard. We were on a first name basis with all at the lodge and it really did feel like a family experience. Would not have changed that aspect at all."

"The overall experience was fantastic. However, the only thing which let this hotel down was the amount of mosquito's in the room. We were absolutely bitten to shreds by the mosquito's and this was after using wrist and ankle strap repellents, sprays recommended by the hotel and our own Jungle Formula. There was also a plug-in mosquito repellent which the hotel provided and we kept the patio door closed throughout our stay.

The main bar/pool area was fine, as was the breakfast area, but the room was a haven for mosquito's. I would recommend the hotel fumigates the rooms twice daily, when the room is turned over in the morning and once before bedtime."
