STUFF

Waikin Ranch is an oasis of

tranquillity in the middle of

Guyana’s vast savannah, set in the

south-east of the country around

a 30-minute drive from Lethem.

The ranch features four beautifully

designed cabins, which opened in

December 2018, complete with

spacious balconies, hammocks

and private bathrooms.

Visitors can enjoy a number

of activities including swimming,

horseback-riding, hiking and

rounding up cattle like real

Guyanese cowboys. Meals are

served buffet-style at the owner’s

family table, with plenty of

options to suit all tastes; dishes

feature home-grown produce

from the ranch, including the

most enormous avocados.

Waikin Ranch is an ideal

destination for adventurous

travellers who want to indulge in

some R&R away from the hustle

and bustle of everyday life.
