"an excellent location, but some screening between rooms (if possible) would improve the privacy
very good and enthusiatic guides withn a good knowledge of the wildlife
drives marred a little by presence of tetse fly (which we found extremeley painful) in some areas
very good all day game drive"

One minor point I would make is that the tour off the falls was to short at 1.5 hours
We could happily have spent more time there, otherwise all activities we took were excellent. Especially the interaction with the elephants."
