    “I loved everything about it. I particularly loved 'bumping into' a giraffe on the way to my room. There were also zebras wandering around and buck. I loved the curtains around the bed and the monogrammed linen. All the staff were extremely friendly. I loved sitting at the bar area near the water and watching the sun set. The breakfasts are superb. We had dinner at The Old Drift Restaurant on our final night and it was excellent.”
