Lebala Camp
"Lagoon Camp Review"
We had some amazing lion sightings. It was only six months since I was last in the area and so many changes in lion politics!
Some nights you don’t see much on the drive back to camp, but on our last night we saw a leopard up a tree, a porcupine and a Serval all in the space of five minutes.
The staff are lovely. We were with the guide G (who is a complete legend) and the tracker Kern who is charming and has the makings of a great guide."

Lebala Camp
"Another excellent visit to Lebala"
Standards continue to be very high and the new manager has made some changes. No details because it will spoil the surprise. I elected for a private vehicle and I was looked after solicitously by Jacko and GT.
We discussed each day what we would do, and we had some excellent game sightings."
Happy punter

Lucy booked the trip for me and I would apply the same high rating to her."
Feedback response
This traveller gave our team top marks - but was messed around considerably by changes and cancellations made at the last minute to her scheduled flights, by the airline. Hence the (completely understandable) comment above.

Little Kwara
"Little Kwara review"
Our guide Dutch and tracker Kenny were informative and enthusiastic. You think you have seen most of what you are going to then in 20 minutes you see a Boomslang, a Honey Badger and a Bush Baby that thinks it's a flying squirrel! Game in the camp, during the day and the night. The varied terrain was a pleasure and I will definitely be going back."

Lebala Camp
"Lebala Camp review"
Guide Alex and tracker Julius showed enormous forbearance in the face of a well meaning American who insisted we went back to look at some tracks she had seen, as she thought they were Wild Dog. Alex identified them as avian, and she asked him if he was sure! We did find the dogs though; the highlight of the trip. Both guiding and tracking were of a high standard.
Lying in bed in the middle of the night, listening to an elephant chomping on something just outside, is a real priviledge."

From the first call to EA I felt in "expert" hands. I will definitely use you again and recommend EA to friends. I am already planning the next trip! Oh, and I found your advisory leaflet really usefull too."

Zibalianja, Botswana (this camp has since closed)
"Zibalianja review"
The chef's baking is particularly good - home made snacks for coffee and sundowners and the Chelsea Bunss were out of this world. Five stars and a plus for them."

Sandibe Safari Lodge
"Sandibe Safari Lodge review"
Food could have been better and was a bit hit and miss. guides were excellent."
For game viewing and stunning variety of landscape there are few to compare with the Kwara concession. We virtually fell over predators every day. We also had a sighting of three lesser seen of the antelope (Sable, Roan, and Eland) all in a line at the edge of a flood area.
The staff are delightful, especially the new manager Rene. He is full of energy and enthusiasm, and a great addition to the team. He has taken over from Charles, who is moving to the renovated Kwara Camp. The guides and trackers are polite, considerate and knowledgable.
My one caveat is that it can be a long walk to your room. The camp is in a crescent. The main area is in the middle. We were in room 12, which was a brisk 5 minute walk along a winding sandy path."
