Perfect from start to finish.

What an AMAZING place. If you are searching through the many places to do your safari - stop looking and book MILIMA. It was incredible. We saw the Big 5 on multiple drives. Our guide, Sidney, was amazing. He made such an effort to find animals and listening to his stories and bush knowledge was a treat. Being an all inclusive, everything is taken care of for you (including two game drives each day) and the schedule is the same each day which is nice. All meals were excellent, and the pool is a great spot to enjoy a beer, cool off, and watch animals come and go. The staff were incredibly kind and always ready to help and take care of you. We stayed in one of the tents, and would highly recommend!

great place nice owners and guests

Unforgettable 17th Anniversary – World-Class Experience at Oase by 7 Star Lodges We recently celebrated our 17th anniversary at Oase by 7 Star Lodges, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. A heartfelt thank you to Janus, Liz, Octavia, and Lymon—each of you played a special role in making our celebration so meaningful. Janus, the manager, was exceptional. He personally exchanged messages with us before our arrival to ensure every detail was perfect and even picked us up at the airport. That level of attentiveness is rare and deeply appreciated. We were surprised with an incredible upgrade to a stunning villa, enjoyed romantic sundowners with champagne, a private game drive, and a gourmet picnic during the safari—all arranged flawlessly. The hospitality, thoughtfulness, and seamless service truly place Oase in the same league as some of the best hotels in the world. We’ve stayed at iconic properties like Aman, Mandarin Oriental, and the Peninsula, and Oase absolutely matches that standard of service. If you are looking for an exceptional hotel and experience, make no mistake—just book Oase 7. You won’t regret it. Our only regret? We only stayed two nights—it simply wasn’t enough to soak in all the beauty and experiences the lodge has to offer. We will definitely be back! Thank you once again to the entire team for making this anniversary so special!

Every single staff member was amazing. They were so professional, welcoming, and just good at their jobs. Special shout out to Bianca, the chef. Awesome food with impressive presentation. Also, shout out to Lee Ann, the general manager but most important to us, the game trail guide. Her expertise is unbelievable. Masodini is a must see and experience. If I could rate it higher than five stars, I would.
