1 guests' feedbackWe used Somkhanda as an overnight facility on our way to Mozambique. The only mistake we made was not spending at least a day or two there. The facility is incredibly beautiful, the sleeping units very large and spacious, swimming pools and barbecue areas at your disposal and a large kitchen that you can also use. The staff are friendly and the management went out of their way to make it as pleasant as possible for us. Would love to go back there. Very good value for money.
