The only issues were that a) the bathrooms have no doors - which isnt good when you are 3 friends staying in 1 room - and there is a doorframe so goodness knows why there are no doors! And b) there was a grass fire which came very near the hotel and there was zero comminication about whether we were safe or not - simply saying "it will be fine" doesnt really do anything to reassure guests who arent used to being within a few hundred metres of a significant (scary ) fire! ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ben 26 Jul 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property did not have our reservation from Expedia and when provided informed us they were full and could not accommodate. They then did not replay or connect again for 3 days while in Tanzania without our scheduled second camp accommodations we paid over $1200 for. Very disappointed in this camp and Expedia. We had a great safari over all and ended up bailing on the northern Serengeti and getting a hotel in Arusha after a few days in the bush. ##### Ben Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alvaro 1 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabuloso Camp Estuve 3 maravillosos días en el Camp. Fue mi primera experiencia dormir en un tend siempre he ido a hoteles.
