"Mma Dinare review"
Edwin always made certain we were comfortable and enjoying the drive. He answered all our questions and was a wealth of knowledge about the land, flora, and fauna.
We also enjoyed having a tracker on most drives, and seeing how they work together with the guide. Nice to have only six folks in the vehicle.
Mma Dinare facilities were excellent, comfortable, and clean. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening as well as the great day views of the delta. The food was good, varied, and plentiful. We enjoyed the smaller camp (compared to Chobe Elephant) and dining together with our fellow campers to get to know them a bit.
The tent and bathroom were spacious and clean. We managed the outdoor shower, but had it not been warm in the afternoon, it would have not been a pleasant showering experience. Especially with the winds. Maybe needed a bit more shelter and not so open. The upholstered furnishings were a bit tired and could use a refresh.
We enjoyed the porch on the tent where we could relax in the afternoon and still have views of the wildlife. We enjoyed hearing the animals at night. Lots going on out there in the dark!
All the staff were very pleasant and helpful." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Mma Dinare review"
Great location on the delta as we watched the water come in and start flooding the area.
Edwin was a terrific tracker and we had some amazing wildlife sightings while there.
Most memorable sightings were 4 cheetah brothers who took down an impala on our first drive at the camp and seeing a pack of painted dogs with their cubs
Would happily go back" See all these reviews: 8n in Zimbabwe; 3n in Botswana; 2n in Namibia

"Mma Dinare - the crown jewel of our safari"
We found the tented chalets at Mma well appointed in a more 'rustic' style - yet still extremely comfortable. There is only an outdoor shower, which was a bit chilly in the cooler June mornings - however it was the perfect spot to get oneself awake and ready for the morning's drive!
The food and beverage was fantastic - well-stocked open bar with plenty of soft drinks, spirits, wines, etc. And the food was SO good - we had a chef behind the grill serving up freshly cooked steaks, wonderful veg, delicious brunches on return from mornings out, etc. We love the afternoon high tea offering before setting off on the evening drive.
The entire atmosphere of the camp was thoroughly enjoyable and we felt that camp management REALLY cared about the experience we were having. For example, we had an issue regarding a walking safari that we weren't keen on and management quickly sorted out an alternative arrangement that got us out on the morning drive. This makes all the difference, ensuring you have the safari holiday activities that you really wish for.
Lastly, we want to recommend to all travellers the unique experience at Mma Dinare of having a guide and a tracker. We were thrilled with Alco (guide) & Play (tracker) and the sightings they helped make happen - not only the cheetahs & leopard - but also a pack of spotted hyenas at their den with all the cubs out suckling at sunset, a large park of 20+ wild dogs, and their amazing pursuit of a male lion who had been gone from the concession for almost a week but returned on our last morning. They really understood what we wanted to see and worked hard to make it happen.
We even snuck in a viewing of 9 lionesses / cubs just before we headed to the airstrip. This is a very unique part of the Mma Dinare offering and again makes all the difference to the traveller experience.
This was our favourite camp from our trip and we just can't recommend it enough!" See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe

"Mma Dinare review"
For the first time on this trip we spent almost an hour watching a wild dog pack, still around their den, with about 17 puppies. Other highlights include a coalition of four cheetah brothers, a young leopard posing on a log until we and it were warned off by its mother, and a splendid mokoro trip. The latter provided a relaxing contrast to days of game drives and many opportunities to see birdlife. Thanks to Kane, our guide, and tracker Sam." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana

The game drives were excellent with leopard, lion, elephant, giraffe, wild dog, jackal, and many bird sightings.
We secretly hoped to see bat-eared foxes and we did, twice!
Cheetah had been seen the previous day and our guides made their best effort to track them, but we missed them. Still, good for others to know that possibility exists.
We would return to this camp." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana

"Mma Dinare review"
The facilities were great (though a half-notch down from Sable Alley), services excellent, guides were super, and wildlife experiences varied and plentiful. We stayed more on established vehicle paths, with less crashing through the brush to get the best sightings, as at Sable Alley, with fewer long experiences in one amazing spot while up close and personal with lions and leopards, but a greater variety of wildlife was encountered while at Mma Dinare and one long encounter with wild dogs was amazing.
An sunset ride in a mokoro on the Gomoti River was a special treat." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

We experienced a wide range of wildlife in a variety of settings on our game drives.
Overall, comparing the standard of Mma Dinare to other Kwando lodges we have visited, it fell short. A few personal touches were lacking, such as providing everyone with a water bottle." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana
