In itself, the lodge sits beautifully on the edge of the impressive Ghoha Hills within its own smallish private concession… no mean feat as hills are quite a rarity in Botswana. We do state that the area is a fringe area in that game can be good but most of the best viewing comes from deeper within the park around the Savuti Marsh areas, which is a good 45 minutes at least game drive to get to.
Though it is a very well appointed lodge, because of its distance relative to other lodges in the central area, we have given Ghoha Hills a 3 star rating even though the accommodation is better than that. In fact, if the access to game is not so important to you then this could easily be a 4 star lodge.
