Offering an outdoor pool surrounded by a landscaped garden, African Ambience Guest House is located in St Lucia which is part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Free WiFi is available and the beach is within 2 km.

The building, property, appointments, art are each and all lovely. The hosts answered all my questions and made arrangements for me to see the hippos. Breakfast- really good buffet choices and hot foods if you want. Above and beyond- hosts did a night drive with me to try to find hippos (no luck) and I was made a nice simple sandwich whenI arrived (I'd been in a car for 6 hours and needed to leave for my hippo boat). Really- so glad I stayed here.

The guest house itself was spotless and very comfortable. Most of the rooms face the pool, which is great for cooling off on a hot afternoon. Thank you!
