Travel reviews by Kalahari robins from UK

"We would normally rate this stay as Excellent but becuase of the unusual amount of water in the area - the plain in front of the camp was now a swamp ! The game was exceedingly sparse - however the white faced ducks were spectacular.

Further, again because of the water our game drives were limited to one small area - we are sure that in a future visit we will see more !

The accommodation is luxurious - for a tent - and having hot water on demand is novel - the layout and 'public areas' were splendid.

The staff were helpful, cheerful, charming and de cho di monate !"

"Short, sweet stay - we love Ichingo - Ralph charning, knowledgable host as always - tiger fishing up to scratch - elephants in position on the Chobe as should be - love the new houseboats - we'll have one of those next time !"

"We would have rated this as Excellent if we had had a river view room - we had possibly the darkest room available - but they were full so someone had to draw the short straw !

Beautifully located, staff charming and helpful - food delicious.

It would have been nice to have been able to sit on the terrace and finish our bottle of wine without feeling that we were keeping the staff waiting as they needed to lock the dining room - that being the only access to the terrace. Perhaps a staircase down to the lawn ?"

"This is real African camping - no frills but everything you could possibly require - and more !

Again the game was a bit sparse - but it is the middle of winter - however 4 leopards in 5 days can't be bad ! The lions, 100 elephants, numerous giraffes and a smal herd of wildebeest added to the tally.

Grant and his team are so enthusiastic and professional about everything they do - you can't help but have a great time - whether scrouring the sage bush, cooking the fishing catch for lunch, eating Joyce's enormous meals amazingly produced on an open fire or watching the ellie's go by whilst luxuriating in a hot bucket shower !

We love it and we can't wait to go back !"

"Great place to overnight in Maun - especially when you have been really camping for a week - to soak in a hot bath - amazing !

The accommodation is very comfortable and the food and wine served in generous measure !

It is a delight to be able to go for a stroll through the bush and come across Kudu, Zebra and Giraffe, etc"
