We stayed at Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma for two separate nights during our safari. The experience was overall very positive and memorable. On our first night, there was a small issue with hot water, but the support team and our booking agent were very responsive and quickly apologized.
What truly stood out was the staff. Sara and her colleague Michael in the restaurant were excellent—very attentive and welcoming. The chef personally came to discuss dietary needs and prepared excellent meals tailored to us.
On our second stay, everything was perfectly arranged, including hot water in the room. Reception recognized us immediately and made sure we were comfortable. The chef again remembered dietary requirements, which was very thoughtful. Management also checked in to ensure everything was perfect. We felt very well taken care of throughout our stay.
