Instead of Bobs Bunkhouse, they should just call it Bobs House. Bob and his wife made me feel really at home and I highly recommend them. If you are visiting Johannesburg and you dont have the time or worried about crime stay here. They are close to the airport and they are a pleasant walk into Edenvale. All the shopping, food and drink you can want are very close by. I even found 2 quality butchers so I could have a Braai. Everything is clean and modern and the pool is really refreshing on a hot day. You can cook, drink, eat and just hang out under the huge covered porch. A real home away from home. I stayed with these nice people twice and really enjoyed the town.

Fatimas Nest is run by the same nice people who run Fatimas Backpackers in Maputo. It is a nice compound of mixed building that has a commanding view of the whole beach. You can have a great sleep in one of their hammocks overlooking the ocean, sit in their nice outside bar or go for a stroll day or night along the beach. They have accommodation options for everyone: Pre-erected Maru-tents, Private Bungalows, Bungalows dorms built on the sand dunes, and a fully equipped campsite with a lapa and a braai area. All their accommodation options come with mosquito nets. They also have a good restaurant or shared cooking and refrigerator facilities. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

The gardens and patios are well maintained, they have a tasteful communal lounge area where you can relax and watch satellite TV. They also have very safe off-road parking, secure storage for luggage, laundry service, Internet access & phone. The rooms are non-smoking. All in all a very good nights sleep!

This is how a 'BACKPACKERS' should be. They say on their website they offer a "A Safari Lodge atmosphere and facility at Backpacker prices". They do. I stayed in nice room with a wall safe & mosquito net in the pleasant garden courtyard near the pool. The kitchen is open air as is the TV room/lounge. They make a fire every night and will help you set up the fantastic BBQ they have for a braai. You can sit and sun yourself, or have a walk into town and see the falls. The staff can also arrange money conversion at a good rate, tours, flights, whatever you want. They even offer discounts if you buy more than one adrenaline activity (i.e. Bungee Jumping the falls). Free and secure car parking is right at the front and they even washed my car. While so many people go and stay in Livingston in cramped conditions 16 km from the falls you could be here enjoying quiet luxury at a hostel price. Meals? Cook your own or ask the staff to make you a meal. Its all flexible and inviting. A must stay.
Swimming pool open all the time
Braai every night
Secure
They can arrange anything and everything
Friendly staff
Low prices
More convenient to the Falls (both sides) than Livingston, Zambia

 PHOTO HUNTER'S TENT! by safardreams
We had a fire-pit! There was a kitchen up in back of us. We had the dinning area right next to us. There are some full size tents there. For visitors and students. I prefer the:
IGLOO-TENT!!!! The bones in front of my tent!
ELEPHANT JAW & RHINO JAW BONE!
They are there for learning. For the school kids. I like having these kinds of things next to my tent. To keep that
AFRICA FEEL GOING!!!!!
GALLA CAMP, KENYA 10/2001
From what I can see nice TENTS! A nice big
shower!! There is some ELEPHANT DUNG around! SO, at times they do take a walk up!
They didn't while I was there! Theme: Other

Go past this to sit on the terrace and have a cold drink or a great meal as you take in the sights of the ocean and nearby islands.

This is a self-catering paradise. How would you like a thatched cottage lighted only by paraffin lanterns on the side of a mountain overseeing nothing but nature? Quiet serenity. Your cottage comes with an outdoor covered cooking area. It is supplied with gas burners, sink, cutting/draining board, table and chairs. Your cottage has comfortable beds, hot water and full bathroom, but no electricity. You do have plenty of paraffin lanterns. You also have your own site and the only sounds you hear are the crickets. Bring your own wood and food, but you can pick that up in the village. This is a great place to take a relaxing break (not far) away from Gaborone. Unfortunately the owner dies 3 weeks before I was here, but the staff still carry on. You can also go horse riding over a vast area by day. At night the 2 dogs will come and keep guard. They only charged me a little bit of steak!
Please note: some guidebooks name this idyllic place Country Horse Safaris. The sign actually says Arnes Horse Safari'.
