    I don’t think it would pay for the game drive if it wasn’t free. The animals are nice to see however the area they roam over is largely a golf course which seems to go against the whole point of a safari.

    Surrounded by wonderful greenery and a selection of wildlife. Food is generally good, especially breakfast. Staff are so very friendly and happy to help. Safari gave drive is a nice addition as it is free for guests. Rooms are very quiet and beds are reasonable in the context of Malawi hotels. Safari hide very knowledgable and happy to answer questions.

    Wi-Fi connectivity was sporadic.

    We truly enjoyed the beautiful and serene environment as well as the wide variety of activities for children and adults. There was golf, fishing, a game drive, cycling and a play area for kids just to mention a few. Our hybrid booking included a 3-bedroom cottage (on bed and breakfast) combined with self-catering for other meals. This proved ideal for a family of six.

    Rooms and interiors of buildings could do with a little TLC and AC. However beds were comfortable.

    Great location stunning views. We enjoyed our Game drives with Aubrey and Harry and we were to amazing sunsets. They went above and beyond our expectation. Harry at the front of house amazing too.

    The WiFi, having to repeatedly log onto the WiFi became annoying.

    The food was excellent and plentiful, huge portions, we often shared the main course. Staff are very attentive and friendly, no request was ever to much trouble. Accommodation was spacious with a comfortable bed. Hot water was always available and fresh towels every day.

    Nothing to note.

    Lovely room, swimming pool overlook golf course and,near where animals roam Best part are the inclusive bird walks before breakfast and at sunset, game walks and game drives. Adam was real star at finding interesting birds We have been before and the food is consistently delicious. There are a couple of nice wines by the glass. It's flexible so that people can work there solo also, or attend conference, and they were v helpful with taxis. We stayed in the ensuring suite rooms, but have also enjoyed being in the bungalows. We will return.

    The cottage was absolutely lovely, a really cool place to relax and enjoy. Sitting on the veranda watching the animals and the sunset is very special. A mention for the staff too…lots of great people giving great service. The Lodge is isolated though - you definitely need a car to stay here.

    One negative - the pool was disgusting. Very dirty to the point that we could not go in it; it was green and scummy. Too bad as we were hoping to swim.

    We loved everything - especially enjoying my morning coffee with the zebras! And my husband and son really enjoyed golfing with zebras too.

    For a solo traveller there is not much to do in the evenings. A tv at the bar showing sports, a pool table or table tennis table would be good.

    Every staff member makes sure you are looked after. Food was great and the activities during the day were great fun.
