The trips they offer to the Panorama Route and the safaris are top-notch. The hostel's decor, cleanliness, and location amidst nature make it a must-stay. It's delightful to occasionally have animals like warthogs and zebras visit. Don't miss out on the board games and the delectable homemade dinners.
