Das Safari Camp lässt keine Wünsche offen. Eine komplett durchdachte, sehr saubere, komfortable und schöne Anlage mit schönem Aufenthaltsbereich. Das Frühstück und Essen ist hervorragend. Die Lodge wird hervorragend geführt mit großer Akzeptanz zu den Einheimischen Angestellten. Die von Jonathan, einer der Angestellten, geführte Tour durch sein Dorf werden wir nicht vergessen. Nur Klasse lieber Jonathan. Vielen lieben Dank an die Eigentümer und die top hilfsbereiten Angestellten das wir drei Nächte eure Gäste sein durften. Unvergessliche Zeit.
