Loved the cabins, the trees in the campsite, the tables, seats spread out through the campsite, the stone and wood dinning area, the bathrooms were fancy for campers. It was literally a beautiful campsite with a well lit field you could play football in the night.

Absolutely loved this place - team is very friendly, the setup is beautiful, especially at night, with lights among the trees. Bathrooms are clean, catering from next door's resort top-notch, and access to its swimming pool just rounds it off perfectly! The rooms are cosy and very fairly priced. They will also put you in touch with brilliant guides who can organise all kinds of trips and activities in the area. Thank you May and team for hosting us, we will be back!!
