"Great to notice that they have solar now. So there is a fridge in the kitchen. Fans did a good job in the heat."

"We could only get one night in Sirheni. While it was very dry there was an abundance of birds. It has two hides, lots of trees and paths through the bush for cool walks. Contrary to the booking info, there are utensils, an electrical point to charge cameras and phones (no signal) and a fridge. Really enjoyed our stay there."
Charles Nel
"Really incredible accommodation.
There's good space between the cottages. The cottages are modern with fans, fridge/freezer, and a single 220v plug, which was a nice suprise."
