Akeru was truly wonderful!
The lodge has a lovely atmosphere, a friend said it sounded like rustic luxury and I think this describes it well. I expected short game drives and lots of relaxation time but this was not the case. We were up at 5am and didn’t return for breakfast until well after 9am. A walk was then arranged followed by lunch and we were back in those land rovers by 4.45/5pm returning after dark at about 7.30/8pm for dinner. Having been on safari before I now realise how I was short changed in the past. Akeru really took care to ensure that we made the most of being in the park. The service was excellent, the food terrific and the game rangers incredibly knowledgeable so this was a real highlight.
