Protea Hotel by Marriott Lusaka Safari Lodge

This was an amazing place to stay. we had one of the little chalet villas and they are so spacious. largest bathroom in most of my travels. you had a bathtub and a separate shower area, little patio door that opened to an area that you could sit out with a table and a couple chairs, also a living room with sofa in a couple chairs. the restaurant doesn't have a order off the menu type thing - more of a buffet service for breakfast lunch and dinner. they offered jazz on Saturday however we did not take that in. they have a local massage person that comes to the property and my daughter and I did each do massages and that was really good. the pool was slightly cool but it was definitely refreshing in the warm afternoons. while we were sitting in relaxing by the pool some Monkeys came around climbing on the fence and getting a drink out of the pool. there were some bushbuck that would basically greet us every morning at the breakfast area. we took the safari game ride twice and saw a couple different animals each time, not as many as we would like but it still was fun. as far as the staff and service, it's as great as any five star place I've stayed at. there felt like there was a couple staff for each guest there it was very amazing.
