This place is basic but very well kept. Rooms are clean and spacious, the breakfast is delicious, and the athmposfere is very warm; they make you feel as a member of the family. The location is superb, and if you are lucky, you can spot some rhinos walking right in front of the hotel. The owner at the front desk is very kind and helpful. He speaks very good English and perfectly arranged all our sight-seeing activities during our stay. They rent bikes as well.
