Jakita’s Guest House

Jakitas is a residential beach home with an edge, a character home that brings a bit more life and fun to the old. The home boasts a family history of avid travelers dating back to the 1970’s, who enjoy returning the hospitality to others traveling through Africa. Jakitas is a very chilled house where you can simply relax, connect and feel at home.
