A Gem; construction at Kalimba so they rebooked us at the adjacent Kamara resort. Great property: aircon nice and cold, good breakfast offering, tasty food at restaurant. Front desk staff helped in arranging a driver to visit monkey park, crocodile pools, city tour, and car to airport. Would love to go back. Only nit I have is provided toiletries were skimpy

  • Pay in instalments holidays: Into the idea of paying down your holiday in multiple transactions? Then check out this Book Now, Pay Later option with Klarna.
  • Low deposit holidays: If paying a small percentage of your getaway (rather than the full total upfront) makes it easier to hit that "book now" button, go for a low deposit holiday payment plan from Klarna.
