Casa Mogambo | Sanctuary For Wildlife – Sanctuary For Your Soul. ----------------------------------------------------- PLEASE NOTE (as we want to set the proper expectation for a stay that exceeds your expectations) : As with many homes in Manuel Antonio, Casa Mogambo is built into the side of a steep hill.

Our long driveway allows you to get off the main road from noisy party houses, tour vans and motorcycles all day and night and enjoy the peaceful 3-acre sanctuary. You WILL need to walk, run, dance, hike, use a rental car or 4×4 taxi to the main gate for outings. Tour vans will not come down the drive for pick ups as they have difficulty in going back up.

If renting a car, you must have a proper four wheel drive (4×4 or AWD).
