Nice place to chill
Gwahumbe was so lovely even my kids didn't wanna leave, the staff was very nice and very helpful.
we actually enjoyed our stay there and we wouldn't mind visiting again, the experience was awesome and learning about animals and just enjoying the nature it self was divine.
We had a good time there!!! Beautiful rooms, friendly staff, stunning views....a place to be if you want to relax.
I stayed at Gwahumbe for 2 nights, what an awesome time I had. The staff was so friendly, helpful, kind. The staff knew exactly what they were talking about on game drives. The food was extremely delicious. The scenery was amazing. It was so peacefully, tranquil. And so relaxing. I had a massage done as well, what an awesome experience. I do highly highly recommend Gwahumbe and I will definitely be coming back in the near future.
It was an excellent place to escape to and the staff were very helpful.
Wonderful setting, surprisingly beautiful scenery and natural gorges and forests within this sugar farming area. The wildlife is always close by, there's plenty of bird life and, failing that, the ever-changing scenery is enough on its own. We enjoyed our stay, the staff are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Ask Carl a question on almost anything to do with the natural world and he'll know the answer. And, if it's about snakes, he'll keep you enthralled for hours!
