Guest Reviews
- David (8/5): Hamza was a fabulous host. So was our Italian speaking gentleman who helped with the pit fire. - Beautiful location. Charming house. I thought it was a little on the expensive side.
- Stefanie (10/5): Es war herrlich! Hundert Daumen nach oben! - Das Essen war göttlich, das beste, das wir in Uganda hatten. Die Unterkunft hat einen ganz eigenen modernen, aber sehr entspannten vibe. Man wohnt in einem kleinen, liebevoll eingerichteten Häuschen. Die Gastgeber sind super herzlich und geben einem sofort das Gefühl, zu Hause zu sein und dazu zu gehören. Der Außenbereich könnte noch etwas bequemere Sitzmöglichkeiten haben, es gibt zwei Hängematten und einen Esstisch mit Bänken. Ggf wäre etwas mehr Schatten machbar. Man muss sich mit einer offenen Toilette im zimmer arrangieren.
- Anne Mette (9/5): Det var lige den rolige pause med god mad vi havde brug for på rejsen - Meget personligt, roligt og god service
- Estelle (10/5): Highly recommend this peaceful place ! - - Super friendly host, very flexible to help us with everything we asked for
- Great view
- Amazing breakfast area
- Peta (9/5): Very Peaceful and Welcoming - Peaceful lodge in a lovely location on the hillside. Very comfortable bed, plus quiet property grounds.
Amza was very friendly and welcoming. Plus provided the best tasting Rolex breakfast I’ve eaten!
- Hakim (9/5): Un séjour magnifique ! Un grand merci à Hamza, Brown, Djamal et toute l'équipe - La nourriture était excellente, mention spéciale pour les chapatis au miel produit directement dans la propriété !
- Fabien (10/5): Ma meilleure rencontre en Ouganda : Amza et Uncle Brown sont des personnes fantastiques - Si vous voyagez en groupe, réservez tout de suite! C'est l'endroit idéal pour voyager en groupe (11), nous avions l'espace au complet pour nous, séparés entre plusieurs maisons. Le lieu et la vue sont au top avec une végétation riche, mais le plus grand avantage de ce lieu ce sont les hôtes Amza et le chef Uncle Brown. Tous les commentaires le disent, et c'est 100% vrai.
Amza et Brown sont prévenants, disponibles, toujours prêts à rire et à raconter plein d'histoires pour connaître l'Ouganda à travers leurs paroles. J'espère retourner les voir un jour.
Chaque repas était EXCELLENT et prévu en avance avec eux pour s'insérer dans notre planning quotidien entre les safaris.
Les chambres sont propres, confortables avec eau chaude disponible en tout temps.
à seulement 20 minutes de l'entrée du Queen Elizabeth NP et de tous les safaris.
- Sylvain (10/5): Nous avons passé un super séjour dans ce cottage, merci à Amza et Brown qui y ont grandement contribué - La gentillesse du propriétaire, la propreté de l’établissement, l’endroit idéal
- Guest (10/5): A wonderful place which I can’t wait to return to! - This is such a special place run by some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Amza went out of his way to help us have an unforgettable trip, and we loved walking around with Brown. Our little cottage was gorgeous and comfortable, and the food was delicious.
- peter (10/5): cosy and large house on top of the hill with great food - We stayed in the (much larger than expected!) wooden house which was absolutely lovely. Great views, very cosy sofas, firepit, it even has a small kitchen. Amza and his team cook up great food with local products, the advocado is simply a delight. Recommended! The mosquito nets could use some repair/replacement.
- anne (10/5): Séjour parfait! - Tout était parfait. L'accueil est chaleureux, la cuisine est délicieuse et le jardin est magnifique. Tout invite au repos.
- Rod (10/5): Exceptional - The location on a rise looking over a village and down towards the Kazinga Channel, Chambura Wildlife Preserve and QE National park is stunning, meals were great. Hassan was friendly and informative; we did one of the community activities he suggested - a short walk into the nearby start of the Kyambura Gorge - and will have to return to do others!
- Elvis (9/5): Superb -
- Empeke (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (8/5): Very good -
- Katarina (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place, very close to Queen Elizabeth Park, beautiful views. The host is great, happy to help to organise fantastic trips. We travelled with our 3 children and we all had amazing time. Really recommend this place if you are staying in a local area.
- Helen (10/5): Exceptional -
