Amazing wildlife sightings, including the Big 5, up close and personal. Luxurious suite with spacious room, massive bathroom, and outdoor spa. Friendly and delightful staff, making the stay feel like six stars. Beautifully decorated accommodation, matching the authentic African theme. Exceptional service and attention to detail. High-quality meals with a variety of options and included drinks.
Expensive rates, but worth the experience. Early wake-up calls for morning safaris and late dinners.

The game drives at Pondoro Game Lodge were absolutely incredible. Our guide and tracker, Sam and Dion, were so knowledgeable and made sure we had the best sightings of the animals. We saw the "Big 5" in just two drives! It was a truly unforgettable experience.

The location was incredible, surrounded by beautiful nature and wildlife. We loved being able to see animals right from our room. The food was delicious, with a variety of options and flavors. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home.
The lunchtime was a bit late at 3pm, which made it too close to dinner. It would have been better if lunch was served earlier in the day.

The staff treated us like royalty from the moment we arrived. The rooms were spacious with comfortable beds, a luxurious bathroom, and a private terrace with a stunning view. The air conditioning and wifi were excellent. The daily safaris were adventurous and we saw the big five on most days. The food was amazing, with a variety of options to choose from, including unique dishes like impala and ostrich. The hotel staff went above and beyond to create special dining experiences, like dinner by the river under candlelight. The reception staff was welcoming and always available to help.
Felt incredibly well taken care of, no complaints at all.

L'emplacement près de la plage Levante et des commodités, les nombreux bus qui desservent vraiment partout pour 1,50€, les buffets du petit déjeuner et du dîner très variés, personnel adorable et soucieux des clients.
Rien à redire.
