The tourist area is a 10 min taxi ride away. There is a private, well maintained, swimming pool/sunbathing area within 5 mins. walk which can be used by guests at a cost of less than a Dollar a day. This area is full of nature,there are national parks for birdwatching within 2 kilometres. Sport fishing and other amenities are easily arranged. Reliable local guides for sightseeing and adventure in the real Africa can be provided for guests.

** Solar power is provided via the panels when the sun is up during the day, the battery banks are charged also during the day to provide night time A/C power, it is not a limitless supply. i.e. leaving all lights on, fridge, TV's, fans, stereo you will drain the solar system battery power before morning, Guests are advised to conserve the night time energy as advised by the caretaker. Only replace light bulbs with 7-11 watt solar bulbs, using ordinary bulbs 60-100watt will overload the solar system and drain the batteries very quickly. Remember this is Africa not New York, London or Paris where grid power is supplied, if you wish to have similar supplies, please book into the Sheraton 5 star instead. Thanks

There is a weekly service fee of 10 payable to the caretaker when there. This is to cover the gas (petrol) for the generator to pump two full tanks of water per week from the bore hole to the gravity tank. One full tank is adequate for 2 people to shower, cook, wash for approximately 6 days. Requests for extra water will need to be paid for as fuel is expensive.
