"Splash Camp review"
We had a boat trip up the delta which was generally scenic rather than teeming with birds/wildlife, although we did have a great encounter with an elephant in the water eating the water lilies. The staff laid on a mobile bar and snacks for our return which was lovely and gave everyone a chance to socialise a bit more.
The camp staff were once again very welcoming and warm. However we did feel mealtimes were a little rushed with the staff keen for the dining area to be vacated which could be miscontrued as being unwelcoming. However, that said, the food was very good with a great choice.
The rooms although lovely and beautifully appointed, lacked the character of the tented accommodation we enjoyed at our other two camps. This however is a matter of personal preference. The shower pressure was very low which was a bit disappointing at the end of a dusty day - we did mention it to one of the managers but there was no improvement so possibly this is what it is given the location in the bush."

We were told that there is no time during the year that transfers from the airstrip need anything other than a standard land based game drive vehicle.
We did do a boat trip but only after a lengthy drive to get to the boat.
We liked the camp itself and the guides/managers and staff were all switched on and helpful." See all these reviews: 14n in Botswana

The lodges are very spacious and well equipped with excellent wifi. Our lodge was a few minutes walk from the main area at the edge of the camp and there was constant elephant activity next to our lodge!
All the staff were friendly and welcoming and our guide TJ had incredible knowledge of the area and the wildlife." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana

Made more enjoyable because we got on so well with the two other couples who shared our drives. Our guide and tracker were excellent and had great sense of humour.
Food was good and plentiful and the portions were right-sized. accommodation excellent.
Sightings were excellent, including following cheetahs and lions for hours. We also watched a dead elephant (apparently of natural causes) being set upon by vultures, marabou storks, hyenas, jackals and a lion...not a pretty sight, but an amazing look at nature.
Splash is definitely worth a return visit!!" See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana

The rooms are similar but about one third the size. The design is different, and for me I prefer the more standard type room available almost everywhere else.
All comfortable and well run, though the food was still poor. However, the wildlife spotting was very poor indeed. Our guide (ST) and tracker (OB) were good, and worked very hard to try to find things,. but there was really very little indeed to find. Partly due to the very long grass of course, but we had long grass at other camps.
We went on this trip for the wildlife, and this camp should not have been in the agenda" See all these reviews: 12n in Botswana
