Great stop-over on long journey. Delicious meal for dinner.

A wonderful and unique experience! A guesthouse in the bush that really feels like Africa with a huge baobab tree in the middle so beautiful that it looks like a fairy tale. The place is really neat and clean with beautiful and comfortable paths and cute vegetable gardens for growing vegetables. The bathrooms with showers were relatively close to the room, so it didn't bother me that much. The tent looked and felt even better than a bungalow and a house! The tent I had was big, comfortable, very fixed and well-equipped and really made you feel at home with the look of a tent with lots of ventilation windows. The food is great and fresh and there is a good menu and many types of vegetarian food. I tried everything and I loved it. There is a cute little pool and it was nice to splash around in it and catch some sun in front of the legendary baobab tree. The staff is lovely. Zaki, Richard, the cooker and the cleaner and of course the managers Sabine and Emma, ​​and they help with everything you need and with safari trips and all possible information. I booked for four days and finaly ended up staying eight days in a row! I took two afternoon/evening safaris in Luangwa Park, one morning bush walking safari and one full day private safari at Luangwa! I saw all the animals including lions and leopards several times. The only thing I didn't get to see were lion cubs. There is also a trip to get to know the local community for those who are interested in local people living a village life. Highly recommend for those who are interested the idea, for those who want to forget about the city and have peace of mind and for those who want a quiet, beautiful and calm place in the bush with great staff, to feel Africa and be somehow close to the safari trips in south Luangwa.

The staff were wonderful and could not have been more helpful, kind, or professional. Lungi, the guide was superb, very knowledgeable, and we had some epic sightings. We loved the sundowners and drinks around the campfire. We felt like members of the family when we finally left. As vegetarians, we were handsomely catered for, which was a delight!

The location is good and environment is perfect

Location perfect for South Luangwa and room and staff just what we needed. Redson and Agnes made us so welcome and arranged anything extra we wanted. (Car cleaned,pack up on leaving etc)
