Luxurious rooms - Gorgeous decor

Lovely to wake up to this view as pictured below with the sound of huffing hippos. Note: The only wifi is at the library hut and not available in main building or rooms.

Most luxurious hotel I have ever stayed in!

Alison W, - April 2020

We only spent one night here on our way back home having had to cut our holiday short because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. It was 18 hours I will never forget. The room was spectacular on the banks of the River Zambezi. The staff were extremely professional as well as being friendly and open. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed our river trip with Easy. I really hope we can go back there one day.

I stayed here for three days and had an unbelievable time! The location and views were amazing! The staff was always available to answer any question and see to any request which I had. When I asked for some apple juice they juiced apples and I had the be.st apple juice I ever had. I highly recommend it- it is worth the price
