10/10 Excellent
"This is an excellent property in the heart of amboseli national park. Staff across the board were unfailingly friendly, helpful and extremely hospitable. The food served as a buffet was extremely good with a wide range of options. As an Indian vegetarian I would especially like to highlight the quality of the indian vegetarian food served. It was really well made. The kids enjoyed the pool which was well maintained. Would highly recommend a stay here"
