10 Days in Africa

The experience was very natural and I felt as though I was seeing how real life is lived in Africa. I wasn't just a tourist, I helped in the garden if I wanted to and helped with the goats, chicken, guinea fowl, and cows if I wanted to. The owners are American/Kenyan. I was always understood when I asked for information or needed something. The rooms were very comfortable, with lots of pillows and towels. They were decorated with African masks, photos, fabric, and natural rugs. The upstairs of the main villa is open to nature with a high coconut frond roof. A very special place to relax and watch nature. I had everything I needed to make me comfortable, it felt as though I was staying at a five-star hotel. The owner is an artist and is a well-seasoned world traveler. There was lively conversation at the dinner table which was family style, and some of the best food I have ever eaten was served. The cuisine was a mixture of African/Coast and American/Gourmet. Most of the food was grown on the farm—fresh vegetables, fruit, and herbs. Flowers from the garden were everywhere. The price was an unbelievable $30 per night with all meals included. The staff always had big smiles on their faces and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend this hidden gem. mtwapaorganicfarm@yahoo.com.
