About

Innovative, art-filled guesthouse with an outdoor pool, dining & park views, plus property tours.

The architecture here is legitimately striking — mud walls, African art collections, panoramic views of the plains. It's more cultural experience than standard hotel stay. The host is knowledgeable and passionate about African design. Best for design enthusiasts or anyone wanting something completely different from chain hotels.
