Limited meal options on days with less guests

Zaina lodge is EXCELLENT. We have travelled all over the world but Zaina offered the most unique experience. The staff (Andrew and team) were phenomenal. The location is has spectacular views. The lodges themselves were high end and super comfy. The food was well prepared and we were asked at all time whether they could improve our experience. The safari experience here was GOLD. You'll not regret going here.

Nothing.

The setting is fabulous and the facilities awesome

Not much in fact

The food was excellent. The location was amazing and we had lots of opportunities to see the elephants and other wildlife

I appreciate that we are in a national park, but to improve the dining experience in the evening , it would be better to have some sort of cover from the insects.

beautiful scenery. natural beauty. lots of animals to spot and staff are very nice. do get some insecticide ready cuz the bugs can be really annoying and they bite too but overall 100% money's worth

Zaina is a beautiful, quiet, relaxing place to be based to see incredible wildlife & learn about the flora & fauna. We had 2 safaris, 3.30pm & 6.30am the next morning. Both very different & with extremely knowledgeable guides. We saw many animals in the afternoon including 2 very large elephants who crossed the track very close to us. Fewer in the morning but still interesting and we saw a completely different habitat. The baboons were great and had babies, we saw many birds & antelope. Staying a ‘tent’ overlooking 2 waterholes we spent a lot of time sitting on our balcony watching elephants bathing. We saw 13 different ones altogether. The staff are so attentive, nothing is too much trouble, the accommodation is fabulous & the restaurant is beautiful overlooking the bush & the infinity pool. Our only tiny complaint was lack of choice of menu & we found a large breakfast followed by 2. 3 course meals each day was too much. We would very highly recommend Zaina Lodge. It is more expensive by Ghana standards but reasonable by GB prices and very much worth it.

Nothing

Unbelievable set up with incredible infinity pool for watching elephants. Good food and amazing safari with very knowledgeable guides. Rooms are really well laid out.

The service was generally good but communication was a bit lacking at times. For instance around meal times and how to book safaris, we were only offered a single time as the others were booked but it wasn’t clear how they had all been booked already... on cleanliness it was mostly good but on arrival there was a bit of lizard poo in various places in the room. Other elements of the service are confusing: for instance are drinks at meal times waiter service or not? Fine either way it just needs to be clear. The lodge also should consider how to manage big group bookings and make sure that they don’t dominate the shared spaces.

Everything was amazing from the very moment we arrived until our departure. The views are amazing, the rooms as well, and the staff is very professional and welcoming. Something (small) I very much enjoyed was the natural shower gel.

The views from everywhere on the property allowed us to experience the wildlife. The property uses all natural materials and you feel inserted in the natural habitat of the animals. Although we didn’t see a lot of animals on the safari, the animals literally come around the lodge so are unmissable. The staff were exceptionally awesome! Particularly the general manager, Andrew, who made sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. The food is a must have! When we stayed, chef Jacob, fed us amazing and tasty food in abundance. A must visit in Ghana!

It is quite expensive per night, however the sights and

Staying in this lodge was without any doubt a highlight of my Ghana journey and I can recommend this place highly to anybody with sufficient budget. What stood out the most was the peaceful quietness of this place, just complimented by the noises of nature. Standing next to the pool, just enjoying the view over Mole National Park and enjoying the sunset was really wonderful. The main building is unique in architecture and incredibly beautiful. I very much enjoyed the safaris, which are included in the all-inclusive-package and it was mind-blowing to come this close to elephants, antilopes and other animals. The guide and driver were both not only very knowledgable about flora and fauna, but also very kind and fun to be with. The room, or "tent" as labeled on booking.com, is in fact a beautiful and incredibly comfortable chalet with a private bathroom-anex, very generous in space and amenities. The beds were without doubt the most comfortable ones I've encountered anywhere in Ghana, the beautiful treasure chest with ice-cold water was a nice gimmick and the illumination concept was well thought out. Food was quite good, with the meals being served as a buffet. I especially enjoyed the variety of authentic Ghanaian dishes, they tasted superb. Another nice treat were the fresh fruits in the morning, which out of whatever reason are rarely seen in Ghana. Staff was very polite, very well trained and was professional all the time. I felt very well treated, but anything else, to be honest, would be a shame, considering the prices charged for a stay here. Nevertheless, if I come back to Northern Ghana, I would not hesitate to come back again, I met great people in Zaina Lodge, enjoyed beautiful days and had a blast.

Nearly everything during my stay was perfect or close to it. The major drawback is the difficulty to reach the lodge from the next big city, Tamale. The lodge offers a transfer service but this comes at a ridiciulously high price which the manager explained to me was due to the fact that unlike other transportation services it was fully protected by insurances in case of accident. While this sounded understandable, the difference was that high, I decided to look for another driver when I've landed in Tamale. It was very easy to find somebody charging just a fracture of the "official" price.
