“The location is both a blessing and a curse, with some transport limitations yet close to many restaurants. I noted one traveller's arrival was met with confusion; another had quite the opposite experience. For some, the friendly staff make up for any initial hiccups in Mkunazini. Be sure to confirm arrival details.”
