EnquireThis is the only accommodation within Bryce Canyon National Park and is in walking distance of some breath-taking views of the canyon. The lodge was designed in the 1920's as park accommodation and retains its rustic, log cabin feel. Despite the rustic nature of the accommodation, you will pay a premium for being in the park.
There are 38 cabins and 75 rooms. The cabins sleep 4 and larger families can rent two inter-connecting cabins for a larger space. Be warned, however, to retain the rustic experience, there is no air con and no tv's. (Although air-con shouldn't be that necessary as Bryce generally a more comfortable temperature.) Each cabin has a bathroom, two queen beds and a small porch area. They are set within pine trees, so children have an outside area to play in.
The rooms are less rustic, with more modern furnishings. They also benefit from having a fridge and microwave. Also with two queen beds, these rooms can sleep up to 5 as rollaway beds are available.
There is a restaurant and a shop at the lodge - no other options are in walking distance. If you want (limited) choice, you will need to drive to Bryce Canyon City, although don't expect a vast independent array, it's fairly standard fare here.
Some families will find the lack of mod-cons refreshing, but the lack of a pool and facilities experienced elsewhere may be an issue for some. On the other hand, it is the only place where you can stay in walking distance of Bryce Canyon's rim.
I would like to say a massive thank you for organising our Vietnam trip. The itinerary and execution were superb, as was the attention to detail. I would also like to thank the agent who was on the end of my whats app chat (I have no idea who they were!) – always available, always quick to respond, and kept me updated regarding times etc. Also, the guides Dan (north) and Tien (mid) were just excellent, and we really enjoyed their company. The lady (whose name I have forgotten) who was our additional guide for the DMZ day was exceedingly good and made that day very special.

Trip was great and all the arrangements were excellent so thank you for all the help!
Drivers and transfers were all good - on time and very good service on each trip.
Accommodation was lovely - Douar Samra was amazing (weather could have been better but lovely regardless). Riad in Marrakesh was also great!
All in all a great trip and we loved the variety of the mountains, Marrakesh and the coast.
Thanks you once again!

I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.
Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.
El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.
Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.
So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last
