“The personal care here stands out, with hosts like Teresa and Nelson creating a truly welcoming atmosphere. I'm particularly drawn to the idea of staying in a traditional Masai house, surrounded by lemon and banana trees-plus the nighttime visits from bushbabies sound magical. It's the sort of place where a delicious home-cooked meal and genuine hospitality make for an unforgettable stay.”
