I was so lucky to find this hidden gem ❤️. I was looking for a spot to relax before I began my real trip in Kenya. It was 1000 out of 10! The staff was very kind and friendly. The food 😋 makes you crave more and more. The best part of staying there was the boat transportation to and from the camp, where you can enjoy the experience of being on an island. Therefore, they smoothly arrange any tour program you would like. We chose snorkelling, and as non-swimmers, it was the best experience ever. The selection of rooms was beyond beautiful, very scenic and tranquil...the view from the restaurant is tear worthy, hearing the birds and trees moving with the air breeze was everything I needed and more.
