At the hotel, rooms are equipped with a patio with a garden view. At Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari each room includes a private bathroom and bed linen.

    The location is second to none with unbelievable views. The meals are nice and tasty, served in an open restaurant at the top. The pool is nice and clean and even if you arrive quite late you might just be granted permission to have a nice evening swim after opening hours if you ask nicely. :)
