"The setting of the hotel is superb – nice beach (the water has great mineral quality to it), different walks at the door step (Congo-Nile trail or lakeside paths, coffee washing station nearby is great to visit). The food is excellent (from the local vegetable and fruit garden) and rooms are spacious and well-maintained.
The downsides are 11 km of dirt track in poor condition (allow extra 10-15 min relative to google maps estimate) and rooms can be too warm at night (24C at night, no aircon)

What makes the stay even more special is the hospitality of the staff. They are genuinely kind, professional, and always available to assist with a smile. Add to that the tasty breakfast and fresh meals, and every day starts on a perfect note.
This place is not just an apartment—it’s a retreat where you can relax in peace after exploring the city. In my opinion, Safe Haven Apartments sets a new standard for quality and comfort in Africa. It delivers an experience that is not only reliable but also feels truly special, making it a place I would return to without hesitation.
