Standard room beds are too small so needed an upgrade. Lovely staff. Restaurant a little chaotic and A la Carte was no different to buffet

Wonderful unique experience with excellent staff and attention to detail. Fabulous lantern lit dinner. Kid’s thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon safari. Comfortable air-conditioned rooms in the trees. I wish we could have stayed longer.
