My stay at Shishangeni was lovely. the staff went above and beyond to make every moment special. The food was fantastic, and my room was immaculate. I truly felt like I was immersed in the beauty of nature with the privacy of the lodge, although there were a few minor moments where the service could have been slightly quicker.

The lodge offered great features such as a swimming pool and spa services, but I wasn't aware of the TV room downstairs until my stay was nearly over. Better communication would enhance the experience.

However, the overall service was disappointing, especially during peak season when I found staff to be inattentive and untrained. The dining experience, particularly the buffet, left much to be desired.
