Pros (+) The private cabins with spacious and comfortable beds were excellent. The rooms also had private shaded patios and plunge pools - perfect for the hot midday breaks. The lodge overlooks a riverbed with a clearing and a watering hole that draws all sorts of wilife, so you can see elephants from your breakfast table!
