Tiger Trails Jungle Lodge

Die totale Abzocke, Es wurde für 3 Übernachtungen mehr als 3.000 Euro verlangt!! In Erwartung einer Luxus Lodge war die Enttäuschung sehr groß. Nicht 5 Sterne, nicht 4 , nicht 3 sondern es hat die Qualität eines 2 Sterne Hostel! Die ganze Anlage sieht verwahrlost aus, hier wurde seit über 20 Jahren nichts mehr investiert. Bei Ankunft kein Wasser im Pool, das Bad versiffte Armaturen, die gesamte Wäsche wie Bett und Handtücher mit modrigen Geruch. Von 6 Game drives waren 2 in unmittelbarer Nähe, bei den anderen 4 musste jeweils 45 Minuten Fahrt zum Eingangstor des Parkes gefahren werden auf einer extrem schlechten „Strasse“. Das Essen einfach in 5 kleinen Schüsseln angeboten. Nichts, aber auch garnichts rechtfertigt diesen absurden Preis. Wir fühlen uns auf das Übelste betrogen.

We were a group of 7 people who stayed at this lodge for 9 days on a tiger safari tour arranged by Wild Images from UK. This lodge is in shambles. It seems it has not been maintained and it seems that no one has stayed at this lodge in a long time. Otherwise, how do you explain water leaking from the sink (which wasn’t fixed), most of the lights in the room and bathroom not working, water dripping from the air conditioner in the bedroom, closets that had layers of dust and critters making it their home. We were advised to keep our clothes in our bags. We had a frog companion in our room for the duration of our stay. No internet access, not even in the common area. And oh, did I mention that this was their “best room”. The food served for the 9 days was monotonous. Practically the same food every day with one new dish daily. The non-vegetarian dish was often recycled. One person in the group was a pescatarian but the lodge could not meet her dietary needs even once. This person was forced to eat the same pasta dish for lunch and dinner every day. They did serve fruit at each meal — in a small bowl. Not enough for each person to get even two pieces. Although bananas were plenty. I do have to commend the service from the wait staff. They were great, very courteous and efficient, and served us with a smile. The pool was unusable because it was drained of water. As a result it was dirty. The response from the management was “if you would like to use the pool, I could get it cleaned and fill it with water”. Given the condition of the pool, the groups’ unanimous decision was “No, thank you”. Again, the lack of maintenance (or caring) was obvious. A Motel 6 would be considered a high-end luxury resort compared to Tiger Trails Lodge.
