So when you proceed with the reservation, you will currently only see adult rates displayed and calculated.

But don’t worry! We will manually review any reservation and will adjust the rate. You will hear from us shortly after your reservation. You will only pay the hotel’s child rate for your children.

The kids from the village receive an incentive from Hodi Hodi when keeping the village clean. The staff comes all from the village of Matemwe and they receive regular additional training throughout the year such as English courses.

Whenever possible everything is sourced from the village.
