Travel reviews by Mr F & Ms C from Toronto

"Stayed one night at the new Hotel Verde Airport hotel in Cape Town and it was really nice, great service, great breakfast and very convenient only a few minutes shuttle ride to the airport."

"Excellent location and night out under the stars.

The staff and specially the Manager were great and helped us out when we left our passports behind by sending them ahead to a future lodge.

The guide was more of a driver than a guide but was very knowledgeable if you asked a lot of questions.

For a lodge like this the food could be a lot better."

"Comfortable rooms and a good location to walk around town.

Anya, if I spelled that right, was great in helping to sort out our passports being left behind at the previous location. Without her not sure what we would have done.

Breakfasts were really nice too.

Had a great Marine Dune day with Sandwich Harbour 4X4."

"Wish we had more time as we only spent one night. Loved the outdoor showers.

One of the staff noticed in the morning that our car had a flat. He arranged to fix the tire while we were having breakfast. Great service.

I wish the food at the two Wilderness Safari lodges we stayed at was of higher quality."

"The location and proximity to the waterhole is fantastic.

The rooms were larger, cleaner and better than what we expected for a National Park lodge."

"Very nice for a National Park lodge.

Rooms were large but in general seemed a bit more tired than Okaukuejo.

Water hole had less wildlife activity compared to Okaukuejo but still a fair bit of night activity including rhinos."

"Last night stay in Windhoek and was very convenient and great service.

Close to restaurants and gas stations.

We left early and had a breakfast package waiting for us.

Very friendly and interesting building layout."

"Little Kwara surpassed our expectations.

The scenery is stunning, the staff really friendly, lots of bird life, animals viewed at close proximity, boat rides, mokoros and game drives. What more could you ask for.

It was a great stay and makes us want to go back for more Kwando lodges. They understand what makes great vacations."

"Really nice way to see Chobe Riverfront and very relaxing.

Only had one night so activities were limited. The staff are very knowledgeable and always able to help you identify the bird you just took a picture of.

The game excursions on motorboats is also a nice way to discover the park.

You're on a boat so the rooms are smaller but still very comfortable."

"Sadly we only had one night here which limited the game drive opportunities.

The lodge itself located high on a hill was very different than the other locations we had stayed at and was a really nice change. Lots of bird life all around the lodge as well."

"Farther from the falls than the other locations but only a short, inexpensive taxi ride away.

The rooms were clean and spacious, a really refreshing and large swimming pool and friendly staff. The hotel was recently refurbished so it has a nice feel to it.
Not a lodge but certainly a nice safe alternative.

Seeing the falls from the Zimbabwe side was really worth it during the dry season. When we viewed from Zambia it was very dry and would have been truly disappointing if that's all we had seen."

"We were looking for a place to end our vacation in a relaxing manner and it did not disappoint.

We did the falls tour and took a mokoro ride and nature walk. The rest of the time we just enjoyed relaxing on the island.

Would have booked a massage as well but they were fully booked so book early if you know you want one.

Food could have been better and we were a little surprised they didn't acknowledge our 30th anniversary."
