We had a wonderful time at the hotel as family.The hotel has maintained high standards of cleanliness. Not forgetting the chefs are also doing a good job,when you have a taste of the meals and you don't wish to stop you need more and more. I also met my friend isac wamiri for my second visit together with his colleagues and its really appreciated what they are doing there. We had a chance to go for the morning game and we were lucky see a lion it was amazing since it was my first time We really had good time and can't wait for my next visit

The safari was an amazing experience. We got ao lucky with our jeep driver Oscar. He took the best care of us, gave us a lot of information about Kenya, the animals and surroundings. He even managed to show us 2 lions twice on the safari. The tour and Oscar were truly a great experience.
