Arriving over the new year weekend, we were slightly concerned that onward travel would be difficult but they helped us find a taxi at a very reasonable price. We also used their in house Safari and the driver / guide was brilliant. Highly recommended."

Mansala Safari House

8/10 Good

"Huge room with a separate room for luggage! The breakfast was excellent! There is a small kids play area with swings. Location was set back from the street and quiet! We did notice some beetles in our bathroom, but they were harmless and not a big concern. Friendly staff,"
