“Place is amazing”
Location is very good, although not easy access, but tuktuk bike drive experience was absolutely great, they call it African Massage because of the bumpy road….😅 The staff were very kind and helpful.

“Ideal resort to relax, unwind and ground yourself”
Beautiful setting, peaceful and out of the hustle and bustle but easy enough to arrange taxis to the nearest towns. The staff were amazing, friendly, helpful and just a pleasure to be around.
