ANTELOPE PARK

Views are great and the refurbishments done to the place are awesome. Had booked for the Christmas lunch. Waited a bit long to have access to the place as there was a queue at the gate. The antelope Park management should have added more staff at the reception so that the queue would have moved faster.

Super good

Quiet and peaceful

Poor value for money in comparison to the rest of Zim... the first thing you notice when you get out of the car is the stench - the whole place stinks like smelly smelly wet dog, I guess because of the lions. We stayed in the standard room which was extremely expensive for a tiny room that only just fit two single beds. There is also no toilet in the standard rooms, incase you weren't told either. After arrival we were told that the toilet block near our room didn't have hot water but the showers on the other side of the hotel area did have hot water "all of the time", so we trudged over only to find that they did not have any hot water there either. The game drives are also incredibly expensive charging per person for the 1.5 hours that you get. They advertise a swimming pool which is infact currently a small green lake with no view of the bottom - perhaps they only clean it in high season but we would have enjoyed a dip. However, the service, staff and the surroundings (minus the stench) are fantastic. If money is not an issue for you and you're staying in one of the nicer rooms or lodges then I can imagine it would a nice family time.
