    Isaac was a great host, met us on arrival at the gates and showed us around the beautiful property. The property was lovely and had great amenities. The view from the veranda was stunning and the pool was great. We took all our own food and drinks and cooked in the kitchen, which is well stocked with pans, crockery, cutlery, and utensils, but you can also order food. We did tubing on the Nile which was brilliant and were collected from and returned to the property.
