Tuk Tuks and unknown motor cycles (Boda Bodas) will not be given access to the interior. We pride ourselves on privacy. Transfers We have had on a number of occassions incidences when Tuk Tuks and taxis claim to know the way to our place. They convieniently get lost and end up charging clients far more than the quoted fare. Our own transfer vehicles and drivers have been with us for years, they know the way and we trust them completely. Upon booking you will receive a factsheet with all transfer prices and lots more. Airbnb has a policy on bugs and insects. I doubt if there is anywhere in Africa or any other continent for that matter where you will not find some form of what we call Dudus. i.e Something that is small and moves or flies around. Could be anything from an ant to a grasshopper etc etc. At the moment there are swarms of locusts affecting the northern part of Kenya and our neighbours to the north Sudan and Somalia. We have not been affected here in any way but it is our duty as a host to inform guests of their existence.
