Nothing!

The food was reaaly good. The location is great. Waking up to the forest birdsong was fantastic. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

Our room required some maintenance. It wasn't bad, but some minor work required.

The delicious sundowners by the poolside overlooking the lake where you can hear and see hippos is a must. The excursions are also a special treat, canoeing down the canals, the walk through the raffia forest and a cruise on the lakes. The history of the Tonga fishing tribe is an interesting story to hear. We also had our own 4x4 and adventured many routes, flew our drone and snorkeled at Black Rock.

The location is very unique, the Kosi lake system is nothing we have seen before. The staff is really friendly and the food is wonderful. The beds in the room are comfortable.

During our stay we had bad weather and this influenced our experience. However we feel this lodge does not meet the standards for an accommodation at this price point. The 4x4 transfer car has had its best time. Due to the rain in the morning the car and seats were completely soaked. The driver provided us towels to sit on, but this could not prevent our clothes of getting wet. The room did not compare to the photos at all. It is a wooden hut which is poorly finished. The door of the room did not close properly, so bugs could fly in at night. The bedroom is really small and there is no place to sit besides on the bed. Our outdoor bathroom was smaller than expected and the bath was filled with leaves and sand. The indoor bathroom was full of mold and inhabited by large spiders, bats and a little monkey. Every morning the towels and sink were full of bat poop. On the second day we booked a boot tour, but we had to return early to the lodge, because of the weather. When we arrived back at the lodge there was no staff present on site. Our guide had to set the tables himself at the restaurant area, so we could eat our picknick. The only gas heather in the lodge was broken. We ate our lunch in wet clothes in a cold restaurant. We wanted to have our clothes washed and dried, before we left the next day, but because they had to be hand washed, the staff could not guarantee that our clothes would be ready before check out. The included afternoon activities were cancelled and the staff showed no initiative in offering an alternative program. They could have offered a cooking class of winetasting for example to still enjoy our day. We ended up spending the rest of the day in our room under the blankets, because the heater in the restaurant/bar was still broken, so it was too cold to spend the afternoon there. The “free wifi” that is offered only includes a trial of 250 MB. The connection was very unstable.

The property was amazing , the staff paid attention to detail and were so kind. The food was exceptional and the various activities offered were great

I like everything nothing I did not like
