Positive: It is wonderful place to stay at. Staff are friendly people always looking to help you. They provide hot water bottles for the cold nights as the tents can be quite cold. Food is delicious and the bread is home made.
Negative: You can hear the noise from the neighbouring tent, which is ok during the day, but not nice to wake you up.
Summary: Eco friendly place to stay.

Positive: The tents are very big, tidy and you can close all sides and make it dark for the night. We had a mosquito net over our bed. The staff is very friendly. The food was delicious and a good choice for dinner and breakfast. Amazing. Yes, you can hear the traffic from the road a little. But not through the whole night and not really bad distributing.
Negative: The tents are very close to each other. So it can be a little bit noisy if you have bad neighbours - like we had.
Summary: Entspannte. Atmosphäre

Positive: Nice and cozy tent-style lodge, comfortable large kingsize bed, nice terrace, delicious food, good breakfast, nice pool, nice garden, super-warmhearted staff who does everything they can to make guests feel comfortable and satisfied (they even were singing and making music twice)! I will be back for sure!
Negative: Lodges right next to the main road, so you hear the traffic during daytime. But since normally you'll be somewhere on safari or whatever till late afternoon, it's not a problem anyway... 😌

Positive: The staff! They all went the extra mile to make sure, care and provide for us, on a personal an genious level. Such a service minded and professional staff. The tent was so clean and beautiful decorated. -Their pictures does not make this property justice. This was a well maintained, lush, and blooming tropical garden, with cosy lights and decorations, lovely seating areas and such a nice property. You cant tell from their dated photos, it is so different with all the gardening done there now. The food was just great. Lots to choose from, and very nice lunch boxes with deasent, fresh food. One of our best stays of our 7 stays in Tanzania.
Negative: They had a nice fireplace in the restaurant. Had been nice if they lit it in chilly mornings and all afternoons as well.
Summary: Beautiful tropical garden, great staff and food, very nice tents.

Positive: Nice rooms overlooking quite dense vegetation with lots of birds visiting. Friendly, helpful staff who were fantastic when trying to sort out a very dodgy car. Very well prepared food.
Negative: Entrance to the property is difficult. At night it was impossible to see where the driveway began and in terrible condition. It needs grading and needs to be lit.
