Isabel and Yannick worked for 3 years as General Managers at Nuarro Lodge Mozambique. They have done an outstanding job. They have organised the back office, were fabulous hosts to our guests, updated the looks of the lodge, trained the staff, took care of the community and were very hard working, dedicated and reliable. We are so sorry(but understand) they left for a new challenge. We can only give them the best recommendations! Annelies van der Vorm and Trienke Lodewijk, Shareholders from Nuarro Lodge
