Following transfer to Lethem, we'll spend 2 nights at Savannah Inn. On our last day we'll take a mid-day flight back to Georgetown for final night at Cara Lodge.
SAVANNAH INN
Savannah Inn is the best and pretty much only hotel in the small border town of Lethem. The hotel offers quite comfortable accommodations. Meals are served buffet-style in the restaurant, and food is plentiful. Rooms feature double and twin beds draped with mosquito netting to keep insects out at night. They are comfortably furnished though basic. Private baths feature cool-water showers as is true everywhere in the interior of Guyana. TOP
CARA LODGE
Cara Lodge is perhaps the finest hotel in Georgetown. It was originally the governor's mansion during colonial days, and the two buildings now serve as a hotel in the city. The hotel features a full restaurant and bar, international telephone service, internet access, and a comfortable outdoor courtyard where guests relax and socialize at tables around a 60-year-old mango tree. The lodge is fully secured behind iron gates to provide security for the guests.
Rooms are in the old colonial style with polished wooden floors, Demerara shutters over the windows, air conditioning, double or twin beds, and private bath with hot-water showers. Standard rooms are located in the older building and are adequate but rather basic. Executive rooms offer nicer furnishings with the finest kufa furniture. They feature king or queen beds, are also air-conditioned and brightly lit, and are accessed from the balcony walkway overlooking the interior Mango Tree courtyard. We consider them to be much more comfortable for a nominally higher price so we provide them to participants on our tour. TOP
