The experience was amazing, beautiful and all. The 12km drive was a mood k

Pros: Very beautiful, clean with lots of game around. Internet was great. Alcohol and food very affordable.

Cons: I didn’t like the factor that my room didn’t have an air conditioning unit and only a fan. In such a hot and humid environment it’s better if each room has air conditioning units and a tv unit as well even if the price has to be increased slightly .

All in all, it was a great stay. Great for reconnecting, relaxing and unwinding.We are definitely going back again next

Pros: The food and the scenery, it’s so quiet and tranquil

Cons: The stench in the room, more like mould or damp smell. I asked the staff about it and they did explained that since is a thatch roof that barely gets any sunlight with so much trees around it, it hardly drys up especially after the heavy rain we’ve been experiencing

Pros: Serenity lives up to it's name. If you can go for more than one day because the first day will help you to unwind. I didn't even do the trails or hikes. To tell you the truth I just slept enjoying the sounds of nature around me.

Cons: Everything was brilliant. Try their Spring water, it's made on-premises.
