The same can be said for the shower. Little to no hot water. Also, the picture in the listing is nothing like the room I was in. The picture showed a small refrigerator and in-room safe.

Restaurant took a long time to cook our food and when it arrived it was very small portions. The rooms are very basic and the bathroom we had was tiny for the 4 persons we had sharing. Not every bed had a net, and the sheets had random stains on them. This resort is a budget resort and not bad if you're up for giving up some of your luxuries when going on safari. ##### Anna
