I took a chalet for 4 persons (as a solo traveller). It was basically ok, remote and privately located, but the rooms are open above the inner walls, so that you can hear very good what the people in the other rooms (including toilet) are doing and talking. So no privacy inside in case you are more than one person. The restaurant was really disappointing: They had no chicken at all, and only told me once I tried to order.

How about to propose us at least some bread and jam? Of course, we couldn’t say anything because all of the negotiations were done by our guide and the tour provider Pastor Maswanganyi, who has already received our payment for breakfast, but left us hungry and thirsty until...
