“Tents on wooden decking sounds bizarre but it works. Beautiful location. Arrival (picked up by boat from a car park) felt a bit scary but once on the river we were swept away by the beauty of this place. Food, service, location all faultless.
Tips: ignore what you read about wifi – there is none, be prepared for it and then you can just enjoy the peace. We were quite happy without wifi but the kids back home were a bit scared when we suddenly went radio silent for 4 days!
Trip to the falls is further than you think but well worth it.
Borrow canoes for free to paddle around the resort, up and down river. Swimming in the river – looks a bit dodgy as water looks brown but trust me it beats a swimming pool any day.
No air con (well they are tents after all) so it did get a bit hot at times.
4 days is enough unless you are happy with your own company as there really isn’t much to do once you’ve taken a canoe and visited the falls. My husband fished every day and caught nothing.
The evening firefly trip (also free) is lovely. They call it their Christmas lights. Stunningly beautiful.”
