"The welcome at the Sihilro Regency is second to none. We felt almost like family. The home cooked food offered is really fantastic, exceeding the standard in most of the hotels we stayed in. Arriving over the new year weekend, we were slightly concerned that onward travel would be difficult but they helped us find a taxi at a very reasonable price. We also used their in house Safari and the driver / guide was brilliant. Highly recommended."

"This could be something so special. The location itself is amazing and the accommodation for ‘camping’ is incredible. The service wasn’t great however. As kind as everyone was the timings were very off. Being told we needed to be ready for breakfast at 8 and not being served till 9.30. The same for dinner. We also told them we needed to leave on the final day at 7.30 so wanted breakfast at 7. We arrived at the breakfast tent at 7 and no one was there. Unfortunately it was the same for the...

Mansala Safari House

8/10 Good

"Huge room with a separate room for luggage! The breakfast was excellent! There is a small kids play area with swings. Location was set back from the street and quiet! We did notice some beetles in our bathroom, but they were harmless and not a big concern. Friendly staff,"

10/10 Excellent

"nice staff, amazing breakfast, and lake view are one of the best, especially during the sunset"
