Guest reviews
"Ajabu has excellent staff who clearly care about the property and the guests. The chef was particularly impressive – we didn’t give him much to work with, but he put together a delicious feast for every meal."
"We had a fantastic stay at Ajabu house. The house, gardens and setting are really beautiful, neat and well kept. The tennis court was a super plus and used quite frequently. The team in the house took great care of us and our meals. The road to the house was easy to do and actually a nice little game drive – we saw lots of animals on the way. All in all a super weekend."
"Ajabu House was all manner of goodness. The staff were kind, the food was awesome and everything about the place was tip top. Thank you for your services too."
