Wonderful place with a great mission. Passionate and kind team who go out of their way at every step to make your stay enjoyable and meaningful. The accommodation is very comfortable. The food is excellent. The game drives are thoughtful and eye-opening. This is a beautiful place to experience the incredible nature of Africa and the wildlife for which is it so rightly famous. Special thanks to Manager Pauline for her great energy and kindness. To Nugent who leads the service team with charm and humour. And to Terrence who is uniquely witty, entertaining and informative as he takes you on the incredible game drives.

Room and guides were excellent.

Definitely a one off place, really interesting building, beautifully decorated and furnished. Food brilliant. The owners and their staff were all so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back for a longer stay.

After we received acknowledgement of a refund, we made another booking and contacted the guesthouse about our new reservation. Although the owner acknowledged the booking, he expressed his reluctance to accept reservations made through booking sites due to ongoing communication issues with them. Upon arrival, the staff at the guesthouse were unaware of our booking, which created confusion, especially since we had previously communicated our situation with them over the phone. Thankfully, they accepted us for the night but required proof of payment beyond the booking confirmation. While the accommodation itself was satisfactory and the staff were friendly, the communication between Hotels.com and the guesthouse was lacking. According to the owner, there seem to be unresolved issues with Hotels.com regarding their communication, which added to the confusion. I recommend not booking through a booking site as double-checking with the guesthouse prior to arrival did not even ensure a smooth
