I stayed in total 5 nights at Ekala guest farm. I was on the way to Maputo and had some days left in South Africa and I was traveling alone. Ekala guest farm was the perfect place to stay for me. I really enjoyed that it is outside of the city life and I also really enjoyed the fact that... More

Ekala was recommended to me so that I could make the best of my 48 hour layover in Johannesburg. They did not disappoint. Janet picked me up at my hotel and provided me with a complete day, tailored to my interests, around and through Johannesburg. Her experience, knowledge and willingness to share made the day unforgettable. As I plan for... More

I often travel to Johannesburg for work meetings and I will always try take a few days before or after to stay at Ekala. The guest house is located in such a peaceful environment that I can sit outside or inside and really focus on all the work items I never have time for. There is a reliable internet connection...

We had a breif stop over in J'burg at the start of our trip and now I am wishing it were longer! I found Ekala through trip advisor and thought I'd give them a go instead of staying at an airport hotel and we were not disappointed. Malcolm greeted us at arrivals and then off we went to explore the... More

Malcolm, Janet, and Nancy were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful for we neophyte travellers. The accomodations were beautiful, very comfortable and homey. We felt like part of the family, and loved the dogs. The meals were marvellous. The tours have us spoiled for any future trips because of the professional and personalized service, historical knowledge and flexability. Tours from cruise... More
