This was substandard - perhaps it was our room, but it was very below average and food was terrible. So glad we didn't spend more than a night here.

Hi Smita, we're so sorry to hear that your experience was substandard at Mweya. We want to make sure that all the properties Timbuktu use are of the highest standard, and it would be great to hear more of your thoughts on Mweya. Your safari expert, Joanna, will be in touch on email. Many thanks again for letting us know! Feedback is always welcome.
