NWR Onkoshi Resort

Staying at Onkoshi was an interesting and, overall, pleasurable experience. The whole edifice is very rustic and somewhat creaky, especially the long walkways, whilst the rooms were very spacious and quaint - full of seemingly ethnic touches and complete with a massive bathroom. The bed was very large and comfortable until I awoke in the middle of the night with ants crawling all down my shoulders (just me, my wife was untouched): as this is Africa at its most rustic I just coped with the problem and went back to sleep. The food was quite good and, in fact, the breakfast was excellent, overseen by an extremely competent and well organised cook. The setting is magnificent, although this was the dry season - it may be much more "interesting" after the rains when the mozzies emerge. Unfortunately the whole lodge seemed to be plagued by poor service: everyone was very friendly and willing but with a large dose of inefficiency (nobody really seemed to be in charge). This was the one drawback of our very brief stay. Despite this we would stay here again without a problem.
