    They had an event music was loud till the morning, they shouldn't have opened bookings for camping cause it was little bit chaotic. transport 😏 we couldn't find an uber.

    Maria❤ 😇 was very good in making sure that the place is truly inviting, we appreciate the time and effort she puts into making our stay comfortable in gibaland, her kindness will never be forgoten, food was nice thanx to the ladies who were in the kitchen they did an amazing job enjoyed everything that was served.

    Staff at bar was not knowledgeable. She did not know the prices and what is what. Also had to guide her on how to make/pour the drinks. Overall she was very friendly and we did not mind to guide, just think it would be better if management learnt her well before leaving her alone to attend.

    Nature, friendly staff. Something different.

    Cold shower now warm water when I went for shower. The camp area was full and music 🎶 loud and continued till late night.

    Hikes and rustic accomodation. Great lapa with nice atmosphere, bon fires. Entertainment is good, especially drumming circle was fun.

    Even better if 1. Adequate staff is schedule to serve customers 2. Sleeping beds to be a bit thicker & 3. Showers to supply sufficient water to bath. We understand water is from the river but it just not enough.

    I like the whole set up , including the activities and friendly staff Mlu and Walter were very helpful.

    The communication from management wasn't up to par. On Sunday, which was our last dinner night we went to dinner only to find out that they had closed at 17h00. Unfortunately the information wasn't relayed to us.

    Almost everything about the place I liked. A very peaceful place. Mlu, one of the staff members was one of the very good things about the place. Very friendly and a good sport.

    transport issues, couldn't get uber from there maybe they should have some kind of transport from the camping site to the main gate at least, that would be helpful

    the food was great the staff were so welcoming the location is simply the best with nature around, i wouldn't ask for more, looking forward to visit it again some other time the funny posters to tell people to keep the environment clean in a nice way
