Stunning Surroundings and Property What a stunning location and breath of fresh air (pun intended)! Anyone who has travelled the interior of Guyana knows that while incredible, and rewarding in terms of wildlife, accommodation is often rustic. Finishing our trip here felt like arriving at a luxury property haha. The location itself has everything you could wish for, from rolling savannah with incredible wide open skies, view and lovely breeze with the property located up on a hill / rise, amazing small wetlands for birdwatching just behind the property, and perfect warm swimming pond. The food was excellent and the open air dinners make you really feel the ranch style vibe, rooms are clean and comfortable and breezy inside , and the staff really make the place. Family run, the staff will sit around for a campfire at night, a drink and a laugh, there are plenty of people to run tours and all the guys were great to get on with, and nothing was too much trouble including bringing us some drinks down to the pond! They've though of all the little details such as outlying shelters and fire pits off around the property so you can drive out for sundowners or a traditional Guanyese camp breakfast of pepperpot, to floating devices for lounging in the pond. There also have tons of great tours on offer if you haven't done enough in the interior, from birdwatching to horseback riding and giant anteaters and river otters in the area that you can go out and spot. Also a nice fact that they practice farm to table style meals from their extensive garden and use solar power on site. Lovely stay and a perfect and much needed relaxing end to our trip in Guyana!

Rupununi's Hidden Gem We just returned from an amazing week long adventure in Guyana and I must say, Waikin was one of our highlights! It is a hidden gem in the Rupununi in Guyana's vast interior and I would encourage everyone to make it a must during their visit to the country.

From the moment we arrived, to the moment we departed, the staff were all excellent. They were attentive, helpful and readily able to answer random questions from a group who never visited the area.

The hosts were readily available, the food was tasty, the accommodations were clean & comfortable and the excursions were absolutely amazing! The horseback riding excursion to watch the sun set on the Savannahs was probably the most amazing moment of my short stay!

Thanks Waikin... I'll definitely be back with family & friends for a longer time next time.

Solid base for Savannah explorations Waikin is the nicer of the accommodation options in the Savannah areas of Guyana. It's a really comfortable base to look for the giant ant eaters which is a really cool, highlight excursion. But for me a horseback ride and sundowner was my highlight. Waiking is a comfortable and welcoming informal place on a working ranch. Staff is warm and friendly, showers are hot, views from cabanas are nice with good air flow, and food is wholesome and delicious.
