Ah. This house is a dream. Beautiful house, lush garden, lovely pool, amazing view. Top standard from great beds & sheets to elegant furnishing - even the bookshelf is filled with good taste literature. The house is really more of a luxury private hotel than a Airbnb-house that we are used to in Europe. So for a security-clinging Westerner it might be useful to know that several persons work and live at the property - housemaid, gardener, guard etc - which is purely an advantage and makes you feel quite safe and well taken care of. Also there is a security system w/ alarm and guards nearby. The people are all friendly and so very helpful. The house is reached via a very, very steep road from the village below, Usa River, and an ordinary car is not recommended (but luckily a driver is not a problem, see below). Above the house the scattered houses and banana fields continue up the mountain. Aziz will help out with everything regarding transport (we had Richard as our handyman who took us everywhere we wanted at a very reasonable rate). He also - as he runs a large travel agency - arranged a four day safari which was absolutely perfect. We had our own guide who picked us up at the house and took us to three different great hotels, through three parks. The guide Gabriel expertly showed us all the animals we could expect - and we saw everything. The Big five included of course, but so much more. It was the best safari.
