We stayed here for one night at the end of our trip before we headed back to the airport very early. We had 3 rooms with A/C but the A/C was very temperamental.

They lent me a plug... more

The hotel is a family hotel by the side of the beach where you can watch the fishing catamarans go out and... more

We stayed at the Hotel Silver Sands for a one night stopover as it is convienient being so close to the airport. They arranged for a driver to pick us up from the airport at 3am and made us feel very welcome on our arrival at the hotel. They offered us the option of upgrading to an air-con room for... more

The town of Ngombo is only 6kms away from the airport so very handy for... more
