The property is amazing. There are opportunities to see tons of wildlife just from your room or just walking around the trail and even just on the way to the restaurant. The staff were extremely approachable, helpful, and went out of their way to make sure I was having a good time. I came for wildlife photography and many of the staff often pointed out different birds to me and even took me to their favorite spots on the property for wildlife viewing. The concierge service via WhatsApp was also super helpful in booking stuff to do and arranging transportation. Really awesome stay, I was extremely impressed.
