All the staff are extremely rude and are no help whatsoever. The log cabins are way too overpriced for no electrical outlets, a small and dark room, no view, mold under the beds and on the ceiling, and the amount of cockroaches I saw littered inside the log cabins and bar is unsettling. Avoid this place at all costs if you want to enjoy your mozam holiday.
