“Relaxing Nice place to stay”
We loved the accomodation! We had a room next to the pool. The room was big and so close to a lot of restaurants etc. We did the tour with the hostel and it was amazing! I saw Some people say that the driver was crazy, but i think he was great. He drove a little fast but because of him we were one of the firsts in the park. He also took a different road then al the jeeps wich made that we werent with al the busy jeeps and da’s animals on our own! We had so much fun! Also the Sweet lady from the hostel cooked us food everyday even when no other people were there. The food was honestly amazing as well as the juices! Everybody was so helpfull and Nice I would really recommend to go here :)

“I’d definitely recommend this place”
The lady was nice and friendly and I had the chance to book a safari trip through the hostel. Is not very far away, but a lil bit tricky to find it and is pretty close to the bus station

The location right next to the main road & close to busstation. the family was very kind & welcoming. This was one of the cleanest places i stayed at. The pool was a great addition to my stay. The room is warm, but 2 ventilators make it OK. The safari through them was well worth it. Our guide made sure our needs were met & that we were one of the firsts in the park. Highly recommend it
