"Lebala review-1st camp visited"

2 nights Arrived 20 Aug 2013
"This was the first of three camps we visited and proved to be an excellent start. We spent two night here and enjoyed it enormously. Our guide was good, bit difficult to tell with the tracker as he was quite a quiet individual.

Wildlife viewing was very good and a great variety on offer." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"Overall a good experience at Lebala"

2 nights Arrived 22 Jun 2013
"Enjoyed our stay at Lebala, a very different area from Kwara, I don,t think that the game was in such high concentration here but we did have an amazing sighting of a lion, battle scarred, from defending his feeding on a female elephant that had probably died of natural causes.

The manager of the camp, I think his name was Duke, was extremely knowledgeable regarding the ecology of the area and we did think it might be interesting to be given a short talk about our surroundings as we found here that our guide was not particularly forthcoming. We still enjoyed our visit, the food was excellent and we enjoyed the local singing and dancing very much.

Our accommodation was lovely although we felt the chalet tents were a little close to our neighbors and didn't afford much privacy as you could hear practically everything from conversation to bathroom ablutions!" See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana

"Lebala Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 13 Jun 2013
"We had a good time at Lebala. We had a good guide, but at times felt he could have been a bit more enthusiastic.

In terms of game the area was a bit quiet, but still we saw plenty (wild dogs) due to the active tracking." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 5n in Zimbabwe

"Fascinating Tracking at Lebala"

2 nights Arrived 31 May 2013
"Lebala camp was lovely too - fantastic setting by the river. We liked our tent which was the furthest away from the main camp - it felt like we were really in the bush. The camp was quiet and relaxed, but busy in the evenings at dinner with a lot of guests - but this created a fun atmosphere and we laughed a lot with other guests and also the Kwando guides and staff.

The highlight was the walking safari (beautiful and a totally different 'angle' on experiencing the wildlife) and the two and a half days we spent tracking a pack of wild dogs. This was fascinating and we would have liked more information or involvement on how the trackers and guides were following the dog tracks and what they were thinking."

"Elephants plus at Lebala Camp"

3 nights Arrived 31 May 2013
"A very comfortable camp with very good game viewing from comfortable vehicles. Plenty of elephants, hippos, zebras, giraffes, warthogs, impala, kudu and other herbivores. Wonderful sightings of a pack of nine wild dogs plus a leopard and lion!

Only criticism is that our "tent' did become quite hot at afternoon siesta time." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana; 4n in Rwanda; 3n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
