Voted by CNN Traveller as the "3rd Best Park in Africa", Apoka is the 'chosen' lodge in which to stay. You won’t be jostling for space at the buffet table, you won’t be queuing with other vehicles for a glimpse of a lion or a herd of elephants... in fact, from Apoka, you are unlikely to see another vehicle during your stay.
