Everything is so good already, that we cant think of anything else to add!"

Nsefu

Nsefu

"Excellent personal guiding at Nsefu"

5 nights Arrived 24 May 2008
"This was our secodn visit to Nsefu and we received a very warm welcome from the team. It was almost like coming home Doudi, Simon Vicky and the team took good care of us throughout our stay and we would re-visit again and recommend the camp to others.

Davey, Isaac and Lawrence did a great job managing my gluten free dietary needs and very discreet about it too, which was great.

The accommodation was as good as we remembered."

Sausage Tree Camp

Sausage Tree Camp

"Excellent accommodation with personal touches"

5 nights Arrived 29 May 2008
"The location was superb and both Dave and Tash took extra care with all their guests. Dinner in the bush, lunch in the river (yes in it!) were both excellent and different.

We were fortunate enough to be upgraded to the Honeymoon suite on our last night, which was beautiflly decorated with candles, a hoit bubble bath prepared after our game drive and a private candle lit dinner for us on our suite. We were completely overwhelmed and it was the perfect end to a perfect trip.

We tried canoeing, which was a new experience for us - an excellent way to view the wildlife and so peaceful. We were a little nervous about being in a cnoe, but the guides were very good and we felt very safe.

Our personal butle, Shepherd was very attentive throughout our stay and we have passed on our personal feedback direct tothe camp about him - he was so good.

Tash did an excellent job taking care of my dietary needs - the food at the camp was superb."

Nkwali

Nkwali

"Smooth operation all round"

4 nights Arrived 13 Sep 2007
"This was a return visit to Nkwali for us as we had been in Novemeber 2005. The work that had been done to the bathrooms was worthwhile and the overall accommodation was more spacious than Nsefu.

Fiona looked after my dietary requirements very well throughout our stay.

Although we didn't see quite as much game as we had at Nsefu, the all day picnic with Joseph was superb.

We didn't have the same guide each day like we had at Nsefu, which wasn't a problem - just not as easy to build a realtionship with anyone."

Kaya Mawa

Kaya Mawa

"Very tranquil place with good hospitality"

4 nights Arrived 17 Sep 2007
"We had a very peaceful saty at Kaya Mawa - James, Diana, Craig and Suzie all worked hard to ensure all our needs were met.

Diana in particualr went out of her way to ensure my dietary needs were met, which made a huge difference to me. We particularly liked the dining experience in a different location around the grounds every night - that was wonderful!

The accomodation is beautiful, yet quite "QUERKY" in places - tha bathroom in ou room was set in to the rock, which was lovely to look at but not that practical to use - especially if you have a need to use the bathroom during the night.

We hadn't realised that drinks would be considered as "extras" to our bill and Kaya Mawa were unable to take credit cards as payment. We had to use on-line banking to settle our bill, which would have been OK if the bank hadn't frozen our account afterwards!

We think it would be a good idea to make sure guests are aware of the extras before they travel, so that they can arrange to take enough cash with them."
