bella posizione , struttura da migliorare

E' recintato con password di accesso, questo è positivo, e dentro la riserva dove si trova la struttura ci sono diversi animali come: giraffe, zebre, impala, babbuini, ecc, la mattina di danno il buongiorno. Ci sono solo quattro lodge più la cucina ben arredata. Alla struttura non manca niente, ma ha bisogno sicuramente di una ristrutturazione oppure di una cura migliore degli spazi, specialmente interni delle camere, più cura nei dettagli, fra i quali il tetto in paglia, perché cadono continuamente dei pezzettini. La doccia è esterna al bagno e se capitate come noi in agosto, ovvero nel loro l'inverno, cercate di non farla tanto tardi perché fuori c'è freddo.
