I am so happy, I chose to come here! I was the first of hopefully many guests. Alex is a fantastic host, who really cares about his guests and projects. If you want to see some real Africa, apart from the tourism route of Vic Falls/Livingstone, you should come. And your not only getting a good deal for a stay, you also support the school, Alex has founded. You can join clases, see how the teachers work, take a village tour or canu-ride in the sunset. The beds are nice and comfy, the bathrooms are clean and work fantastic. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. Otherwise, this is a place to relax from travelling. There is a huge camping area, if you come by care. I am a German solo female backpacker, I travelled a lot and I'd like to support this place, it meets all the requirements for a great hostel! Alex also takes care of the entire transport, all you have to do, is reach out. Have a great time there! Thank you, Alex, for hosting me, I loved it.

Place was not known by other guest houses. Number on the advert was not answered. No direction to the place. We looked for three hours. Eventually a good Samaritan helped us after struggling for another 1hrs to find the place. When arriving the place had no swiping facilities. We had to navigate our way out in the dark to go draw cash money this was not communicated. We travelling with 3 small children. My grandson was in the shower my husband came down the passage he had a fall the whole shower water ran into the passage. He had a nasty bruises lucky he never broke anything he was shocked he is in his mid 60s. We could not really enjoy the facilities due to our late check in and struggle too find the place. The place was neat, modern and staff very friendly and helpful.

    Great value for money. I had a couple of extra nights at Victoria Falls before I could catch my flight. I was looking gor an affordable place close to the nature to enjoy the Zambezi river. This place ticked all the boxes. The tent was very comfy, the vibe was friendly and toilets and showers were very clean. The staff was helpful and forthcoming and the food was tasty.
