A haven for children. The kids adventure centre is out of this world with a 3-storey outdoor play gym, a maze and lots of arts and crafts for the kids. Children get safari packs (backpack, cap, badge and a booklet to complete on their drives). The food is absolutely delicious. The rooms are all joined (one unit) which makes you feel rather safe. There is a watering hole in front of the lodge that is lit up at night. The lodge is fenced in.
