Elephant Trail Guesthouse and Backpackers Hostel

The activities offered here are plentiful and very cheap compared with prices around the area. Food was also very good, though on the expensive side for this location. I spent four nights in the fully booked 8-bed dorm, so it was easy to meet people. It's divided into two sections with four beds each, which makes it feel more comfortable. There are two AC units, one per section, and a low wall between the beds with a reading light and power outlets. The bathrooms, pool, showers and shared spaces were clean and kept in good condition. There are several cozy spots around the hostel to sit and relax. The staff were all extremely friendly, learned my name by the first day and greeted me with it. I can recommend staying here.

Check your card statement carefully after booking a tour here. My card was mistakenly charged twice for a safari tour, and I sent them the details as soon as I left. It's been almost a month with no reply. The service has been terrible.

I was travelling solo and hadn't researched much, but Naledi went out of her way to make me comfortable and help me have an experience to remember. The hospitality here was wonderful, and I loved my stay. I'll be back this month.

The budget twin room worked for our two-night stay. There was only just enough room between the beds for us to stand. I would have liked a bigger bedside table and maybe mosquito nets, but the price made those things easier to accept. This is budget accommodation with pleasant shared areas and facilities, and they can arrange tours and transport. We also had lunch as part of the game drive and boat cruise package. It was decent.
