This lodge in the course of a jeep safari for one night visited. Appearances we loved this lodge better than the amboseli-Serena lodge. The rooms were altogether however a bit sober decorated and could not have the same flair As the rooms in the amboseli lodge unfold. The large highlight of this lodge is undoubtedly the artificial laid out waterhole directly in front of The main terrace and Zimmerterrassen. Simply great!
