But the very special feature at Jamala is the huge open air pool directly in front of the restaurant. When I was arriving, I was surprised why nobody of the guests used it. Ok, the water was a bit murky, but after a huge herd of Elis joint me during lunch, it was clear, why the owner has built a fence between them and our Michelin star like meals. And when I had dinner and suddenly 4 female, 1 male and 5 lion cubs played around, not even 15 m away from my well chilled Chardonnay, I was absolutely amazed by this place. Keeping in mind that during the coming winter months the visitors at this waterhole will at least quadruple, I am happy that I won't be there .... mainly, because I wouldn't leave this place and would be spoilt by the lovely staff with a nonstop "Wine & Dine" Experience.
