Safari trés cher. J'avais résérvé une chambre mais a mon arrivée il n'y en avait pas alors on m'a proposé le dortoir au meme tarif se que j'ai refusé et aprés discussion j'ai obtenu une tente-chambre. Trés bien dans la grosse savane mais prés de la grande route pas nécessaire du tout. Personnel serviable mais on sans que l'argent et le but premier du centre. ##### DAVID Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Weligama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Resort.h1487820.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Hambantota](https://www.expedia.ca/Hambantota-Hotels-Shangri-La-Hambantota.h15083331.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h19413442.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandos Finisterra All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Sandos-Finisterra-All-Inclusive.h534791.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Canadas Best Value Inn Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Canadas-Best-Value-Inn-Toronto.h1613979.Hotel-Information) > > [Fox Jaffna by Fox Resorts – Boutique Heritage Luxury](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaffna-Hotels-FOX-JAFFNA-By-Fox-Resorts.h17399149.Hotel-Information) > > [Palms at Wailea Maui](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Palms-At-Wailea-Maui-By-Outrigger.h13093.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Richmond](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d10227-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lake Hotels in Muskoka District](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Muskoka-District-Lake-Hotels.0-0-d6343146-tLakeHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Ahungalla-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Sri-Lanka-All-Inclusive.h14754284.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Ferno (MXP) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mxp/lhr/milan-to-london) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Lagos (LOS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/los/calgary-to-lagos) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/178314/flights-from-toronto) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Tokyo (HND)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/hnd/calgary-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Windsor (YQG) to Waterloo (ALO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqg/alo/windsor-to-waterloo) > > [Flights from ohare intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ord/flights-from-ohare-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Dieppe (YQM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/yqm/hamilton-to-moncton) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Schwechat (VIE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/vie/calgary-to-vienna) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Fort Nelson (YYE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yye/calgary-to-fort-nelson) ### Packages ### General > [Visit Mount Robson](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Robson.dx6348609)
