We had a nice one night stay at Nehansa Resort and Safari. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful! The staff were very nice. However, the manager is quite pushy about selling safari tours. He sent both unsolicited emails and texts weeks before we arrived. Some people may like that, but we did not appreciate it. Also, before leaving the hotel, we needed to show our Expedia receipt to the manager, as he did not believe that we had paid. We also had to contact Expedia in order to communicate that we had paid.
