Stepping out onto the balcony to see zebras, wilderbeast, a rhino, a giraffe and elephants is such a fantastic experience. The buffet breakfast is in the lions den! We booked the Night Safari and highly recommend this, we were in a cage, travelling through the safari park feeding animals in the dark. Book a Twiga room for 1st floor rooms with animal view, some of these have connecting rooms whereas the family suites seem to overlook the pool area. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4b5cb5b7-9b23-49d2-bd13-cd772c5630e2-1756756384156.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Heidi Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joseph 17 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience.
