First of all: if you like hot chocolate and pancakes, this is "DE" place for you!! The two [shy] chefs at this place certainly know how to make a TOPEST and delicious pancake for breakfast and a perfect hot chocolate to start the day (they bring to your tent in the morning!!!!).
Second of all, this is one of the few and last tented camps that are affordable (for those with middle budget - like us) and still with GREAT service, smiley hospitality and food quality. In addition, it is quite nice to relax here if you come by flight through Nairobi (not far at all from the airport - about 10k), as it is a good way to start off your African adventure and still be able to experience a good first game drive (antelopes, giraffes, lions, rhinos, birds, ostriches, warthogs, zebras - if you are lucky, even a cheetah - and others) while you eat and sleep really well at the camp.
I found them when I read an old article from The Guardian. The website is pretty easy and has all the information, pictures, rates, deals and packages. The communication by email with sales consultants (in our case, Florence G.) was easy and fast. Usually she would take on average 1 day to answer but she was very nice. It is possible to pay by credit card, as they send you a link to make the payment. I found this quite useful and pretty safe. We had the transfer included, but didnt use it for arrival, as our driver brought us to one of the gates and one of the camp drivers picked us there and brought us to the camp. We spent 2 nights here and it was just perfect for us to reconnect with nature, relax, enjoy the fireplace at night, eat delicious meals, meet other people, have [really] hot bucket-showers and feel pretty safe! It was our first time in a camp like this. and we loved it! I would CERTAINLY come back and can surely recommend it to friends! The whole place smells like roses. It is incredible!! And the manager in charge (Fredrick) was extremely nice to us (he let us use the computer to download our pics from the week before) and allow us to check ourselves in some time before the real check in time. Plus, always smiley, calm and checking if we were happy. Tony was a talkative and fabulous game driver guide. He was incredible when spotted the cheetah (first time we saw one) very far away and kindly "chased" the rhinos for us to get closer, as it was the last one missing from our "Big Five-check-list". All the gentlemen working at this place (gender balance is non-existent here, haha) were EXTREMELY nice, respectful and polite. Plus, they really "spoil" us with hot thermal bags inside our beds before bed-time and escort us to our tents when it is getting dark. Besides, they are always genuinely smiling and for me this is one of the things that make this camp so special (after the pancakes of course, hahah).
We really enjoyed our time here and I would love to come back one day!!! I think it is perfect!!!response / report this review -

Believe me, you can't have better experience than this of staying in a jungle. The place offers luxury tents right in the middle of the game reserve. At night you can actually hear animals.
