To rent; Africa Sun Backpackers - the well known backpacker hangout is up for lease - an
ideal, affordable option for overlanding or tour operators, or for an NGO's base. After
eight years of successful operation Africa Sun Backpackers was forced to wind down it's
operations in 2002 due to the deteriorating situation in Zimbabwe.
We are looking for responsible tenants who can make use of the many facilities at Africa
Sun while maintaining and caring for the property.
Africa Sun was built and equipped as a backpackers lodge, however we are eager for it's
utilization in any practical form. The most ideal application that comes to mind is an
overlanding company's base in Bulawayo. The ample bed-space, truck facilities and
backpacker orientated facilities make it the perfect alternative to the municipal campsite.
In it's heyday, Africa Sun would accommodate a total of 50 guests between two dorm
rooms and five double private rooms.
The Main House - all upstairs, it consists of three bedrooms and one bathroom, a large
lounge with balcony overlooking the garden, a dining room and kitchen.
Underneath is a dorm room with 14 bunk-beds and a flatlet/private cottage with large
bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom.
There are several outbuildings around the main house. One block contains two double
private rooms with kitchen, shower and toilet.
Another has two double private rooms adjoining three showers and two toilets which can
be shared by the dorm.
Finally there is the large cottage which has a kitchenette, bathroom and two big rooms.
This was originally used as a dorm and bunk-beds are available to furnish.
The entertainment area is arranged around the swimming pool. There is a large bar/dance
area joining a TV lounge. The office/storeroom adjoins.
The breakfast/braai area has an open kitchen ands restrooms are close at hand
A borehole provides relief from water cuts.There are three carports, two double ports with
a pit and one triple port.
A reasonable rental will be given to suitable tenants. For enquiries Tel 011408544 or
