The Cresta Lodge at Harare was a pleasant surprise : a lodge on the outskirts of Harare, 10 minutes drive from the center (outside peak hours), is a place of peace, with a nice garden and very user friendly staff. The room (apparently, we had a room - there were four of us - in a renovated wing). Nice room, excellent double bed, and nice bathroom (although the ventilator made a bit too much noice). Food was good but the wine selection was too limited - no issue however, as the staff allowed us to bring along our own bottle of wine, so that we could really enjoy our meal. I plan to get back to the Cresta Lodge when we get back to Harare later this year. Jos Verlinden Belgium
