I’m just into my 2nd night at Sambiya River lodge but I couldn’t wait to jot down this expression! The environment is so nature enriching, the staff are so hands on and caring, wanting to make sure you’re okay all the time! This is the kind of feeling everyone should have when they feel at home. The food is amazing, the rooms are simple yet lovely, the nights are full of bird songs and the days are filled with activities, Zip lining, swimming, canopy walks and safari drives, its just so ideal for anyone to get away and enjoy a full package in one booking. I can stay here for a long while and would recommend it to anyone looking for a home-lodge to experience at-most unique things in the wilderness.

This resort is more than a 5-star; it was the best experience of my life. From the time I checked in to when I checked out, the staff were amazing, and the lodge was amazing and so clean. They treated all of us like kings and queens; I would go back again.

The entire hotel is in the middle of a forest. I have never been in such a quite and relaxing place before. Mark was very friendly and welcomed our entire family. We felt very wholesome here. We need to come back very soon!
