Something not right?

Description

Excellent, quiet lodge right on the river. Caters mainly for guest houses and bungalows on the river edge, but there is a small parking lot where they have allowed us to camp on our roof tent. Friends of ours recommended the place and they camped using their ground tent (there are more areas for these types of tents!). Cost for camping is 500Dalasi per tent per night. Rooms range from 700 per person per night to 850 per person per night (breakfast included, higher rate is for a bungalow on the river). Food is the most delicious we’ve had on our overland trip from the UK (river shrimps with a generous portion of delicious salad)! 350 Dalasi per dish for lunch and 400 Dalasi per dish in the evening. Jul brew beer 330ml costs 200 Dalasi. No pool but you can swim in the river. You can also use their toilets and showers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Got a bungalow double bed ensuite for 1000 including breakfast. Beautiful place, staff are lovely. If you want to eat for a bit cheaper, chat to the guys sitting under the big tree out the front, I ate with their family. One of them also brought me on a wonderful birdwatching walk at sunset for 500 which I highly recommend.

beautiful place but not tent friendly at all. Its 500 for one night and you are allowed to
pitch your tent at the parkinglot (not a very nice place). There is no other service included (only use of toilet but no shower). So i left and didnt stay there.
