Hier moet je heen!

Hier moet je heen! Personeel is zo vriendelijk en attent, na een game drive kregen we een warmhanddoekje. We hadden een mega grote luxe kamer met alle gemakken voor zien en een heerlijk bed. Het eten was ook fantastisch geregeld, echt een aanrader!

Super expérience !

8.0

L’hôtel se trouve dans une réserve privée proche d’une rivière, les tentes sont très bien aménagées, avec quelques animaux de la réserve qui viennent vous faire un coucou devant la terrasse. On a l’impression d’être isolé de tout, l’expérience est superbe ! Le personnel est très sympa et au petit soin. Les guides pour les safaris sont top (Liberty +++ très intéressant)

− Il faut prévoir 30min de route pour retrouver la route principale, l’hôtel est assez isolé mais c’est ce qui fait le charme du lieu.

We hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad bij Rukiya. Het is een mooi verblijf in een prachtige omgeving, het zwembad is lekker om in af te koelen, het eten was heerlijk en het personeel super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ook de game drive was geweldig!

Aanrader!

9.0

Zeer mooie locatie. Te bereiken met de auto. Vanaf de hoofdweg moet je nog +/- 30 min. rijden over onverharde wegen wat te doen is met een gewone auto indien het goed weer is. Bij ons had het reeds enkele dagen geregend en werden de wegen glad door de modder. Ondanks het slechte weer geluk gehad en op safari kunnen gaan. Goede gidsen en lekkere snacks/ ontbijt onderweg! Fijne game drive in private gebied. Zeer goede communicatie reeds op voorhand met de vraag of we wouden aansluiten voor de lunch. Maaltijden worden samen met de andere gasten gegeten wat wij zeer fijn hebben ervaren. Mooie safari tent.
