Summary: We had a lovely time staying 2 nights at Gwango Elephant Lodge. The staff were all very helpful and the food was excellent. This was a very peaceful place and was amazing to have elephants just outside the dining area when eating dinner.

Summary: Completely amazing. Real African with a view of the pan. Additionally, the staff & owners were indescribably attentive and lovely. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and they made it amazing. The best part was a birthday cake. Made of elephant dung! Fabulous!!! Will never forget it.
