The Panari has a movie theater, which I used, and a skating rink, which I did not get a chance to use. The view on the side overlooking National Park is very relaxing.

The hotel was average. Our room wasn’t completely clean upon checking in! There were dried rose petals on the floor that had not been cleaned up from the previous occupants. One can only imagine what was happening in that room! Disgusting! Thank God I packed disposable bed linen for my family! Otherwise the stay was okay until check-out. We were rushing out to head to the airport and the receptionist decided last minute to call us back upstairs. Once upstairs, she stated she did not properly charge us for the stay and needed to charge more money! Her math was off! I had to show my receipt to verify charges! I also had to help her with the calculations before being charged the difference. All of that was a major INCONVENIENCE when heading out to a super busy airport! We will not be returning to The Panari Hotel.

Beautiful hotel on the edge of the National Park.
Very clean, comfortable room with good working air conditioning. Beautiful views of the National Park from the lobby, bar and restaurant. Very convenient for safaris, the airport and to travel into the Central Business District. Very helpful and friendly staff. Fantastic breakfast with a large variety of options. Many thanks for a fantastic stay; I really hope to be staying again with you soon.
