We had a great conference weekend at Kalahari. Everything went smooth and service was amazing. One of their employees kept going above and beyond to make sure we were happy and satisfied and that we knew he was at our service. For his service alone we would totally come back. Thank you Lester Lesoine for making us feel... read full comment
