"Decent place "

"Safari was good no complaints there however, We booked the honeymoon suite, it’s the same as all the other rooms just with rose petals on the bed. They charge you extra for sundowners if you have a double, they charge you for water on the drives even though it’s offered to you as if it’s included. Food is average, very basic. Some local cuisine would be nice. Staff very difficult over charging and bills, no menu provided or price list for extra game drives, they made up the prices. "

"Please be aware that for disabled/ partially mobile people this is not suitable. The resort is stunning."

"The tent facilities are great - every reasonable thing has been considered to make your stay comfortable and it is all at a competitive price. Staff are friendly and helpful. The game drives are all led by knowledgeable and friendly staff so even if the wild-life is sometimes hard to find, they do their utmost to keep you informed and enjoy the experience of being in the "bush". A great place to stay for an African experience. It does not provide (the unwanted) 5* accommodation but provides a real feel of what many people would like to find. It was our 5th visit, so that must show something to indicate our approval! "

"“The Triton Experience”… If you're expecting the peaceful, beautiful escape shown online, you have just as much chance of finding Narnia as you do finding those photos in real life. DONT BE FOOLED BY THE PHOTOS. These photos are taken from another dimention, during the last ice age or when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. What I arrived to looked nothing like the pictures. In my opinion, the place is damaged, neglected and misrepresented, and that's me being polite. They do not have the amenities available as advertised! And the road? To call it a Road is ambitious. Think obstacle course meets survival challenge without warning. Its more like a 1.8km death trap disguised as a driveway. If you don’t have a 4x4, a tow truck, a firefighting unit, first aid training and some good luck, you DO NOT stand a chance. None of this was mentioned when booking, of course. Instead of repairing the road, someone thought it was a brilliant idea to throw a thick layer of dried leaves to “fix” it. Spoiler alert: They didn't. My car got stuck and caught on FIRE due to the dry leaves and heated engin. Yes. Flames. Smoke. And a baby in the back seat. After all that chaos, I didn't even get to stay there because I couldnt get to the lodge. I had to find emergency accommodation elsewhere. And when I asked for a refund? All I received was excuses. NO REFUND, NO FEEDBACK My advice: Book somewhere else.... "
