野性のカバとスタッフに癒されるロッジ！
マラ川に沿って建っていて一日中野性のカバが見られるので決めました。 夜もカバが聞いたことの無い声で鳴いていて笑えました。 食事は3回ともコースで沢山出ました。 スタッフもとても親切で楽しく過ごせました。 ただ、野性動物優先で大切にしているので良いのですが、カバが敷地に入ってこないように電線が張り巡らされていて、夜もカバを見られるようにライトアップがあります。 自家発電なので人に回る？電気が少なく１日のうち4時間半しか電気がつかなかったのは不便でした。 ネットは全く使えなかったので知り合いが生きてるの？って国際電話をかけてきました。 せめて夕方から夜には電気が欲しいです。

Disliked: Staff & service
Good enough for the price.
They catered to the Chinese people. The lodge was ok. The rooms were ok. Not well maintained. Turned electric off most of the time. Location was fabulous. I have been to Kenya many times and this is the nicest location I've encountered. It is on the Mara river. Many hippos monkeys baboons and crocks. It is a one hour drive to Masai Mara but the conservative was nice for safari. The safari vehicles are not very well maintained and we broke down or had a flat tire every day. It is a good value as it is not as expensive as most, but you sacrifice luxury. They ran out of meat every meal and the selection was not to the taste of Americans. It is an option, depending on what you require in a safari

Zu viel ist zu viel
Die Angestellten waren zu aufdringlich: Getränke, Massage, Geschenkeshop. Man hatte das Gefühl, jeder möchte einem nur das Geld aus der Tasche ziehen. Die Eintrittsgebühren zum Park pro Person und Tag als Kleingedruckte Nebenkosten zu deklarieren ist schäbig. Never ever. Fehlendes Rückgeld ist auch ein Klassiker.
