We discovered this place by mistake and it was a surprise to arrive in such a nice place. The first part is a school, they also have an eco village, few animals, they propose work opportunity as volunteer. People are so kind and this place deserve to be famous ! Thank you very much

Great place and great vibes! We could only spend 1 night there on Reconciliation day (unfortunetaly) and had to leave early, but we would love to come back and spend more time. Our tent was very cosy and clean.

We were there for a very short period so it is hard to rate the stay. We were in a hut that was very cosy and clean. We arrived late in the night but we could find the place fine. The staff was waiting for us upon previous notice and welcomed with a warm meal (also asked in advance). They have a beautiful cause with the animals and community, however we couldn't grasp much of it due to the short stay.

We had the best time at Shik shack, I would recommend this place. Especially to backpackers who travel on a budget. We booked the wildlife itinerary. Four full days with all sorts of activities. We saw 4 of the big five! The staff is amazing; Martin & Nsuku took such good care of us. They feel like friends

I had wonderful 4 weeks at Shik Shak during my volunteering. The accommodation and the property are beautiful. Activities were organised for me every weekend and they were all great. I opted for a single room and didn't regret it. All the people I got to know were very warm-hearted. Thank you shik shak team.
