Trip rating: Excellent
"We went for the animals and the scenery which were wonderful and totally lived up to expectations but I hadnt expected to be so entranced by the people who looked after us. They were just amazing, genuine, dignified, informed, funny,. It was such a priviledge to have that experience and i will never forget ithem.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Just keep doing what you are doing so well. Maruska was great, listened to us and was very knowledgeable which helped enormously.She was very good, answered our questions very promptly. We also met some other people whose trip she planned and they were also extremely happy with her."

"Little Kulala review"

2 nights Arrived 10 May 2011
"It was a beautiful camp and we were looked after superbly. Great food, our guide Elaine was great as were ALL the staff.

It was very exciting to see our first Sprinkbok pronking and the ostriches with their chicks (the only chicks we saw). Dunes suprb - toilet facilities ther ghastly. It would have been good to have ben warned!!"

Damaraland Camp

Damaraland Camp

"Damaraland Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 12 May 2011
"We were very happy with the Camp. The staff particularly were wonderful and the food excellent. We did have to drive a long way very uncomfortably (not because of the driver, Albert) but because of the recent flooding.

As you probably know we all got sick there and were unwell for a few days. We suspect the water was compromised but we were well taken care of by the company. My one comment would have been that if we had had our lunch with us, we could have gone on and seen the cave drawings and made a day of it rather than having to drive over the terrible road again & again!!

We saw a herd of 25 elephants and were able to sit and watch them for over two hours which was one of our African highlights"

"Ongava Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 14 May 2011
"We liked this lodge too. Very good facilities. It felt bigger and a little less personal than the others and again a lot of driving.

We had very little time in the middle of the day and we would have appreciated more time to rest in the middle of the day. Not really sure about the night safari (in all the camps)

Food not as good as the other camps"

1 night Arrived 17 May 2011
"The receptionist was not (Lisel?) was not paricularly genuine or pleasant. It was cold and noisy.

Breakfast was good and the woman manning the desk when we left was very pleasant.

It was looking a bit shabby and I would not recommend it."

"Lebala Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 21 May 2011
"Lebala was wonderful too. Our guide Thabo was great and the staff were just amazing.

I had my birthday there and they made it into a very discreet but lovely celebration. Loved the hippos around and we saw lots of wildlife and great birds.

Unsuccessful leopard hunt!! but we did see the Cheetahs!!"

"Zambezi Sun review"

2 nights Arrived 24 May 2011
"It was ok. Staff at reception efficient but not very welcoming (felt we were just being processed).

Great location of course. Great breakfast. Ate at the steakhouse which was ok. Had a super meal at the Royal Livingstone, which was much better value for money.

Telephone services not good"
