The location is beautiful and peaceful, however it’s costly for the value you get. There are no complimentary discounts or activities offered alongside being a guest on the property, unlike most accommodations within the price range I’ve visited. The giraffe activity is amazing, just costly when you’re 2 people and you’re unable to do most activities when you’re not 4 or 6 in a group. Not easily recommended for a couples trip.

We only stayed for one night and it was for a wedding close by. Thus I can't really give a lot of feedback. The rooms were nice but you can hear when people are walking around on the second floor, so if you are a light sleeper like me, stay on the second floor!

Very nice place to spend your time. We were camping there for two months and the setting was lovely. Lots of bird life and the free roaming animals were a treat

In general a good location. Lots of permanent structures at the camping grounds and not need and tidy. Most perm residents stands looks tatty.

Areena is a beautiful and well managed resort. There are not many camp sites available, as most of the available space is being used as permanent tent structures. As a avid camper the limited camping sites does detract from an authentic camp experience, as the resort has a bit commercial feel. That being said, the beautiful setting and wildlife more than makes up for the commercial feel of the resort. I would definitely return to Areena for camping provided I get the right stand. We really enjoyed stand 1. It was private and had a beautiful view. The kids loved the tame wildlife walking around camp and the sparkling pool.
