The COVID-19 situation has created worries for people all over the world, including for you, our guests. We often find ourselves searching the internet for ‘can COVID-19 be transmitted via …’ or ‘is it safe to go outside and do …’
The C.L.E.A.N. partners are here to remove all your travel worries.
During your stay, you can rest assured that measures are taken to prevent the impact from COVID-19.
From the way your room is kept, your laundry is done, your cocktails are served, your drivers are transporting you across our beautiful landscapes, … every step of the way we all follow the C.L.E.A.N. policy.
The C.L.E.A.N. policy offers clear guidance to Emboo River and other hospitality partners on how to host guests in a way that is even safer than before. The protocol is constantly updated so that it reflects the most current guidance by the World Health Organisation.
The C.L.E.A.N. partners are supported by Grounded , an innovative and impactful company that offers cleaning and disinfecting solutions that are human- and environmentally-friendly.
The C.L.E.A.N. partners are excited to welcome you for a magical holiday
… with travel bugs only!

This means that our cleaning products may not negatively affect nature, must be locally made and and must implement a closed loop recycling system.
