An absolute must do for any animal lovers or families with kids! We had an amazing experience - African animals roaming around just outside your bedroom, safari tour, infinity pool, animal shows, breakfast with the lions and meerkats, friendly staff - what’s not to love!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Good thing is that the room can view animals 247, it's unique. The facilities are really old, got geckos in the room. The bathroom had water flow backwards and the bathroom stinks because there's heavy rain. Luckily staff comes over to clean it up.

This Safari hotel is great for a family for a vacation. We enjoy staying here for four nights. The room is spacious and the bedding is comfortable. Although this hotel is a bit old, it does not bother our family. Our room can see the animals in the distance which we like the most

What a wonderful experience, to sit on your veranda and watch Giraffes, Rhinos and Wildebeests, and feel completely safe. The room was lovely, and easy access to the Safari Park, and all it had to offer, with the cost already built into the cost of the accommodation for most things. Will easily stay there again, and recommend to others.

This was one of our favorite places we've ever stayed up. To wake up and see animals out of your balcony wow! We highly recommend staying here. Breakfast was good as well, and they made a lot of cute animal dishes. The only one bad thing we'd say is there were some ants in our room. However there were ants in all the rooms we stayed at in Bali. Please stay here, and book early as rooms can fill up

Everyone was happy staying in the lodge!
It was a fantastic experience staying at the lodge! Surrounded by wildlife animals every moment! Didn’t expect to hear lion’s roar while resting in the bed! They even provided carrots in room to let us feed the animals from the balcony! Dinning with lion was also exciting, the lions were very active and came close to the guests to interact! The staffs were super friendly they even surprised us with a birthday cake! The room was spacious and well maintained! Everyone was happy staying in the lodge.
