Day 9

More about the Bilila Lodge Kempinski

A short film about the Lodge -
and a very interesting announcement

Roundtrip through the Lodge

Today I have two specials for you.
The first one: as I mentioned earlier, the Bilila Lodge staff are unbelievably great people. Yes, they are professionals, and yet they do everything with a smile. And so they made it possible to make time to participate in a short film, “A Quick Tour through The Lodge”.

The second special is … well, just watch the film and pay special attention to what the General Manager Carine Wittwer has to say at the end!

A Quick Tour through The Lodge - and a special announcement.

The draw

So this is a nice surprise, isn’t it? Stay tuned! I will give you more details about the Grand Prize Draw over the next few days!
Meanwhile please let me know how you liked the video in the poll below.

Should I post more films?

    Hi Jan, it would be fantastic if you could show us more ‘live’videos from the lodge i.e. restaurants & bars , rooms & suites. Other than that, I love it, keep on going!!

    Dear Carinne,

    The presentation and virtual tour was excellent although please add some live videos of the villas, rooms to give us agents an idea

    Apart from this, the lodge looks fabulous and I would definately not hesitate to reccommend this to my clients

    Good luck !

    Hello,

    very nice introduction to this beautiful lodge!
    Please also make a video to introduce the villas and maybe also tell us a little more about the activities you offer at the Lodge like for example game drives, game walks, etc.
    I am not only a big fan of the Kempinski hotels but also of the African continent and therefore this new Lodge is definitely on my ‘To do’ list.

    Good Luck with the Lodge!

    Best Regards,
    Tamara

    Feines Filmchen - auch die Schärfenachführung, die Du ja manuell vornehmen mußt, föllt hier nicht aus dem Rahmen.
    Scheint ein wirklich gutes Werkzeug zu sein, die 5DMarkII…
    Inhaltlich bietet das Filmchen eine gute Atmosphäre, die Angestellten hatten sichtlich Freude am Set.
    Weiter so!!!

    Viele Grüße von der stürmischen Ostsee,

    Hi Jan,
    congratulations for this gorgeous blog! The photos and videos are brilliant. I like the small gimmicks such as the sound of the lodge at night. Most impressive work!
    The lodge looks fantastic and I imagine lying in the pool watching the serengeti must be an unforgettable experience. So tell me how to win the vouchers! :)

    Best regards,

    I face a problem: each time, the film cuts when Mohamed meets Carinne….

  15. Jan says:

    Anne, sorry for this. If you basically can see the video than I have no idea why it is not working completely. Maybe just wait a moment so that the player can load the rest of the movie?

    Jambo Carine,

    Good to see you. Noticed that you are now stationed in Serengeti. We used to work with you & Joern Lutter while you were at Kempinski Zanzibar.

    We have our first Bilila clients staying from 18 June through 28 June staying in your deluxe room - probably the first clients you have had for such a long stay at Bilila.

    Beautiful lodge and expect the service levels are consistent with its aesthetics.

    Keep us posted!

    Asante

    Wonderful way to promote both Tanzania and the Kempinski properties. Gives you a good feel about the standard of the property and the warmth, genuine friendliness, and professionalism of the team there. Loved the sounds of the bush and the excellent photography.

    …what a great idea to present the property. Awakes interest to travel to Tanzania which hasn’t been a question for me in the past. Like to learn more about the villas for families which I am interested to promote.

    Nice tour. Stayed in a Karpinski in Jordan last year and thought it was awesome! Also enjoyed your write ups and pictures of your tour in Tanzania.

  28. Seiko says:

    What a superb scenery this is! The resort surely looks well wrapped in nature. The scent of green, soil and fresh air… I could feel while viewing this. I hope the nature and the lodge co-exist harmoniously…

  29. Pamela Cook says:

    Well done! A very good introduction to what appears to be a fantastic lodge. Perhaps it would have been good to show some of the rooms and suites though??

  30. Annea says:
