Home for December

Before you go out

Paying: US dollars are used almost everywhere. Smaller places often prefer cash or EcoCash, and change in small notes can be scarce, so carry a mix of denominations. Listings show the payment methods where we know them.

Power cuts: we note whether each place has a generator or solar backup, so your evening doesn't end in the dark.

Booking: December is the busiest month. Call or WhatsApp ahead for Sunday lunch, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve; numbers are on each listing.
