First things first: please disregard any reviews mentioning tents—this lodge has no tents. It’s a proper lodge with cabins, and our experience was nothing short of memorable.||🍽️ Food: The food was solid—plenty of variety, served hot, and visually appealing. Considering they cater to guests from all over the world, it’s understandable that not every dish will suit every palate. Dining is outdoors, so yes, you might encounter a few bees or bugs, but that’s nature for you. Let’s be honest: you’re here for the 5-star wildlife, not Michelin-star cuisine.||🏡 Cabins: Not ultra-modern, but clean, cozy, and exactly what we hoped for. I saw some reviews complaining about the beds, but comfort is subjective—I slept like a baby. You can’t expect a custom mattress for every guest, just like any hotel.||⚡ Power Outage: We did lose electricity one night, but the staff handled it beautifully. They came to escort us to the lodge, where guests gathered until power was restored. It was a minor hiccup, managed with professionalism and care.||🌊 The River: When we arrived, the river was barely a trickle. Then came the rain—and suddenly, it transformed into a roaring spectacle with rapids. There is wildlife galore. We spotted crocodiles, hippos, elephants, and countless birds. Nature at its finest.||🙌 Staff: The true highlight. Every single staff member—from reception to security to wait staff—was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. If you take the time to engage, you’ll find they’re full of knowledge and kindness.||🌍 Final Thoughts: Travel is all about managing expectations. Maybe some travelers just have unrealistic expectations. If you're looking for luxury perfection, you might miss the magic. For us, this was an unforgettable experience—and one we’d gladly repeat.
