Perfect place to stay for a few nights, extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very comfortable, good wifi, good bathrooms, hot water. Would recommend to anyone!

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was clean and very comfortable. The activities we could participate in were excellent! This was one of our favorite places we have stayed and I can't recommend it enough!!

快適なゲストハウス

大きいキッチンがあり自炊可能。シャワーとトイレは共用だがお湯はしっかり出た。アフリカらしい雰囲気のゲストハウス。ゲストハウス主催のドライブサファリ、ボートサファリ、ビクトリアフォールズツアーなどがあり、帰りはビクトリアフォールズ空港まで有料で送迎してもらった。カサネの町まで車で10分程度かかり周りにスーパーや店が無いのが残念。しかしスタッフはフレンドリーで親切。

What an amazing little place. Comfortable bed, hot water, air conditioning and a great meal. What else can you ask for. Highly recommend.
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing little guesthouse with super friendly staff and the cutest dogs and cat! We really loved our time there and want to come back. The 6-hour safari was perfect, and so was the river cruise safari. We spotted so many animals. We also used the daytrip option to Victoria Falls and it all went smoothly. The only things that could've made it better are an electric gate (so you don't need someone to open it for you), mosquito nets on the beds, and an option to do a daytrip to Livingstone (because the visa and park fees in Zambia are much lower than in Zimbabwe). A great place and wholeheartedly recommend! Thanks guys :)

Good personal space

it was a nice place, very nice host and it is comfortable. The only minor issue is parking space, you park behind other cars and it means waking up the owners of other cars if you have to leave early

Best place in Kasane

Very fair to guests what I really appreciate. The owners responded immediately to any of my questions and the employees are also very nice and helpful. Both thumbs up - I felt safe and very welcome all time. Thanks for that great experience

Friendly owners and staff, free daily lunchtime shuttle to Choppies, helpful with organising tours, the pap with chicken stew was delicious. Slightly isolated location, but cab rides are easily organised (self-drive easy too).

10/10 Exceptional

The property was very nice and I really felt they took care of you. The place is not a palace by any means but it is good if you want a place to stay and meet some great people. Close to town but far away enough from all the traffic

Não me hospedaria novamente

O local é ótimo, super bacana, limpo, organizado. O quarto é espaçoso, limpo, super confortável... A equipe é agradável, todos são muito bacanas. Porém o hostel é longe de tudo, não absolutamente nada perto, nada mesmo, fica no ermo. Se tiver com fome, come no hostel ou não come, e os preços no hostel não são os melhores. Os passeios do hostel são bons, porém fiz o game drive de 6 horas e achei muito caro pelo que oferecem, vi outras agências prestando um serviço melhor, especialmente no café da manhã, o motorista não é tão amigável e absolutamente todos os outros passageiros das outras agências viram leões, menos nós. Achei péssimo, realmente não faria novamente com eles. Recomendo procurarem outra agência para fazerem os passeios por lá e se quiserem ficar na região mais central de Kasane, procurar outro lugar. Sinceramente que acho que não ficaria aqui novamente, devido as dificuldades de acesso e coisas próximas ao local.

This place is wonderful. Highly recommended. The only situation I had was just with sometimes lukewarm showers. But the staff is great and the activities they offer are affordable and fun!

Nice stay at Elephant trial

All in all very nice. You must see it in the light of being a packpackers. Don't expect a 5 star hotel. Everything was very nice and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms clean. Small things wrong, e.g. basin tap was no good. Our one LED bulb got 'replaced' with a cheap copy. Out room was very noisy at times due to thin ceiling above us. We will make use of them again.

Perfect little spot to stay

Very nice place. It’s cute and very clean. Staff was very kind and made our stay comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. I’ve already booked another stay there for an upcoming trip.

6/10 Good

O melhor são os staffs, todos felizes e sorridentes. Não gostei da localização porque não é permitido sair sozinho do local por ser perigoso. Fica muito isolado. Não gostei porque reservei um game drive com bastante antecedência e confirmado duas semanas antes e na verdade não houve reserva. Por pouco não consegui fazer o game drive. Cama do dormitório bastante desconfortável.
