The watering hole is such an asset, it provided entertainment throughout our stay. Sometimes seeing more animals than on safari. The vulture culture talk was also very good, very educational. Bottle of wine left for us in our room , as knew it was our anniversary.

    “This is a lovely lodge in a brilliant location. The staff were wonderful, the view over the waterhole from almost every part of the place was great. There was a convenient shuttle to the Falls, a very good breakfast, and seeing the elephants trundle up in the late afternoon was a special treat. I’d return in a heartbeat!”
