Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs P from Bucks

"We were both very impressed with the accommodation, food, service and above all the quality of the water and game drives were superb.

Of particular note was the quality of the guide. We were very fortunate to have had the services of Gerrard to ourselves for three days."

"Very different to our first taste of safari at Selous. It was like spending a few days as a guest at a country house party but with a bar bill at the end!

The drives were limited in that the vehicles were only allowed to use established tracks, of which there were plenty. We gather this was because Ruaha is a National Park and Selous is a game reserve. However, this did not prevent us from experiencing a very wide variety of wild life action at its best.

Nearly all the evening meals were taken outside on the river bank by torch light. We were really spoilt by a superb selection of food.

The staff and management team lead by Chris Fox (the owner) could not have been more friendly or helpful."

"Came here for three days post safari rest and this was achieved.

Unfortunately visit coincided with very strong winds which restricted sea activities. Lovely walks along the beach when the tide is out.

Location is somewhat remote, however we were content just to use the hotel facilities. Service could have been better - eg some confusion over our rooms on arrival and it took a couple of days for morning tea to arrive! Food was reasonable but they were hampered by the storms which were restricting the sourcing of fresh fish."

"Beyt al Chai had been organised for our last night prior to early departure to Dar es Salaam Airport. The afternoon was spent exploring Stone Town."
