Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

#### Härlig safari

Fantastiskt bra tented camp alldeles utanför Talek Gate. Nyrenoverat och fräscht. Mycket bekväma tält. Vällagad och god mat serverades i restaurangen. Trerätters fasta menyer för både lunch och middag. USD 20 per person och måltid.
