Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs G from Herts

"Perfectly placed for visiting the Falls, a short walk away; and also only a short walk to the town for various shops, bars and restaurants. The staff were all warm and welcoming. The room was very comfortable and quiet, and had everything we needed for our our 2-night stay.

It was great watching wildlife from our patio which included impala, elephants and hippos.

The food was excellent with a very good choice both at breakfast and in the evening. We enjoyed the live pianist, Miles, who played a very varied set list each evening, and was lovely to chat to about music in general.

We had an early departure on our final day and the lodge organised a delicious packed breakfast for our onward journey."

"This camp is situated in a National Park and at times is busier with safari vehicles from other camps in the area. However there was a good understanding between all guides which enabled everyone to get a good view whilst continuing to be respectful of the wildlife. We had some really exciting interactions here particularly with the wild dogs and lions. Use of open topped vehicles enabled all round views which which was great.

The camp itself is well laid out, private & homely. The rooms were comfortable and the food good. The staff were excellent and made us very welcome.

Our guide BD was excellent and knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. We were lucky to be with a great group in our jeep which made for a great atmosphere, and some lively & fun conversation at mealtimes.

There were some lovely touches by the camp which have given us some special memories - we won't say what as it might spoil the surprise! :)"

"Everything about this camp and concession was excellent.

There was always plenty to see on drives. With our excellent guide/tracker team of Ryder and Zuma we had the most wonderful sightings of leopards in particular, but a wealth of other wildlife too. Once again we were lucky to be grouped with some lovely people in our jeep. Aside from the game drives we had a lovely sunset mokoro ride, and also a short walking safari which taught us more about the flora and activity in the ground beneath our feet.

The camp atmosphere was lively and fun with a great relaxed feel. The food was excellent and staff were very lovely, welcoming and thoughtful in taking care of everyone.

The tent was extremely comfortable (including a great outdoor shower) and well equipped, with lovely views from the deck."

"Splash camp is in a great concession which lots of great wildlife. Once again we had another excellent guide/tracker team in NT and Gomms, and were lucky enough to have some fabulous sightings of leopards, lions, and a cheetah, along with plenty of other wildlife, birds and flora.

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."
