    The hot water coming on and off when you have the tap running, but was not an inconvenience enough to call the staff as it would get hot again after a few minutes (needed to close the tap and open it again after a few minutes)

    The staff were extremely helpful, the food amazing!

    The drive into the place requires an elevated/4x4 vehicle especially if it rains. The game is limited.

    Great staff, the bar had good drinks and is nice and wide, the walk to the cottages is also in the wild so you still get the experience, the game rangers know a lot about nature and teach you on the drives, the game drives are included in the package, the food is definitely 5star and delicious with options to choose from, the outside pool at the Rafiki cottage was as expected and lights up in the night. No regrets

    The rooms at the main lodge needs an upgrade, there is no air-conditioning in a heat prone area with mosquitoes, the showers not suitable for tall people.

    The staff was amazing. Charity the hostess, Daniella the Student Game Ranger and one lady who is responsible for turn down were my absolute favorites. The food was the best.

    The lions that are kept in a special enclosure did not seem to me to be happy with their surroundings. They appeared board.

    The rooms were good, however it need of some maintenance. The dining room staff were excellent as were the two game rangers. The food was very good.

    The place was very hostile, and staff and management were rigid and did not go out of their way to make us welcome We were required to pay extra money just to get a television in our room🥲🥲, what happened to upgrading customers to a comfortable room? I wouldn’t recommend this lodge to my friends and my family, it didn’t offer any value for the money we paid, unfortunately

    Had such an unpleasant stay at Zwahili lodge. The images you see online are misleading and the lodge has not been maintained in a long time. Room had a spider web inside the shower, and basic essentials like hand wash gel, shower cap, gown or slippers were not provided. Fruits in the room were over ripe. You are not provided with complimentary water in your room, if you want water you must pay. For the exorbitant price one paid, it is honestly not a 5 star experience and I would not recommend this lodge. Sent owner an email to communicate the quality of service received and her response was, "I am sorry we did not deliver what you were expecting."

    Charity the Manager really tried her best to make our stay pleasant in the midst of all the challenges we witnessed. So definitely grateful for that.
