The hotel provided a stunning experience, combining natural beauty with warm hospitality. The grounds were remarkable, featuring wildlife such as zebras and giraffes right outside our room. While the service was exceptional, our room was a bit small and cluttered with oversized furniture. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and can't wait to return.

The room was small and felt cramped due to large furniture pieces that gave it a colonial vibe. It took a bit longer for our room to be ready because the previous guest left a Do Not Disturb sign. However, it was kept impeccably clean each day.

We had an incredible time at this luxurious resort, enjoying spacious rooms with breathtaking views of the Zambezi River. The staff were wonderfully welcoming and attentive. While breakfast was superb, the dinner options left a bit to be desired, and the Wi-Fi connection could use some improvement.

The hotel is beautifully located on the banks of the Zambezi River, with amazing views and wildlife right at your doorstep. The rooms are well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay with good linens. However, the service at the restaurants can be quite slow, and I felt the dining menu could use some improvement. While breakfast was a highlight, everything else needed more attention to detail.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely a dream come true! The setting is stunning, with amazing views of the river and wildlife all around. Our room was beautifully upgraded, making our anniversary celebration even more special. The service was beyond attentive with every staff member eager to ensure we had the best time possible. However, it's worth noting that the dining experience, while generally good, could benefit from a bit more variety. Overall, it's a fantastic place to unwind and connect with nature.
