The setting of evening dinners. The devin lake View Simply exceptional.

Isaac United States of America

The food was great and views are out of this world.

Alain Canada

Game Lodge is our favourite place to stay in the park. It is super kids friendly with the playroom, playground, and pool. There's enough space to run around. Food keeps improving each time, and service is super friendly and efficient. Combined with the amazing views over the park's lake area, it is just great.

Christiane Rwanda

Nicolette South Africa

What a place, this lodge had absolutely everything we could hope for on such a trip and more. Wonderful location just inside the south end of the park, with a spectacular view and as rooms are newly renovated the lodge felt in perfect conditions. A genuine and friendly staff, with a great attitude towards us guest and a chef with a perfect touch made you look forward to the coming meal. Highly recommended, hope to come back here again.
