Verified traveller

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Exceptionally good service !!
One of the best vacations ever. The team at Kambaku exceeded my expectations. Hotel Location - The room is breathtaking as its right in the middle of the jungle with animals walking all around. We felt super safe but the very fact that elephants were romping outside the rooms was great Food - Amazing food service. My wife does not eat red meat and they accommodated the requested very well by preparing a separate meal for her every day Staff - By far the best staff ever. They were very responsive and cared for the guest. The safari team is very seasoned and knows how to deal with animals and keep guests safe.
