This was a great start to our safari because it was so comfortable and luxurious. It was a bit of a drive from the airport to the Serena at Victoria Lake and I didn't love that. But the next day our small plane left from an airstrip nearby and that was great not to have to drive far. I want to rate this place higher but I am giving it a four only because it is hard to give a five star to a hotel when I like to reserve those for my favorite safari camps.
