Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs C from Bucks

"I had been a bit apprehensive about Nkwali as it is outside the national park and fairly close to Mfuwe. However it was a delightful camp and the wildlife was excellent as were the guides and camp staff led by Kiki. We were very lucky to see a leopard kill on a night drive thanks to the tracking skills of Chris.


The river crossing by pontoon and boat added to the overall experience.


We stayed (randomly as not requested) in the honeymoon suite and this was spacious and delightful."

"Following Nkwali, our expectations were high and the welcome from Jenny and then Florence confirmed that we were in for another treat. Tracking a pride of lions failing three times to capture impala and then finally making a kill was the icing on the cake but was swiftly followed on the same night drive with leopard and porcupine sightings.


Food and guiding was top class."

"Chongwe was the most scenic of the three camps that we visited although perhaps the wildlife was more sparse. Nevertheless Joseph was an excellent guide and determined to find the local pride of lions which had gone into hiding. He succeeded!


The camp staff were delightful and most attentive with the bush dinner creating a memorable last evening for us."

"Shinde provided an excellent introduction to the Okavango Delta region of Botswana. From the welcome choir onwards, the staff were attentive and knowledgeable and made every effort to make sure our stay was enjoyable.

The tents were comfortable and well spaced with a wonderful view over the savannah. The food was varied, plentiful and well presented. It was nice that the guides had dinner with the guests.

The area provided a mix of water and land based outings enabling us to see some wildlife that we hadn't seen elsewhere in Africa including a rare sighting of a rock python thanks to the eagle eyes of our guide."

"Kanana provided an excellent mixture of land and water based outings in the Okavango Delta region of Botswana. We were able to go on a short walking safari and enjoyed the boat ride to the heronry and excursions in the mokoros.

From the welcome choir onwards, the staff were attentive and knowledgeable and made every effort to make sure our stay was enjoyable.

The tents were large, comfortable and well spaced. The food was varied, plentiful and well presented. It was nice that the guides had dinner with the guests.

One of the sundowners was interrupted by two lionesses! Fantastic!"

"Lebala marked a return to landbased safaris after the Okavango Delta. The density of animals was greater.

The spacious tents were of interesting construction and has a wonderful view over the marshes - elephants regularly passed by.

The daily routine was slightly different with early breakfast of cereal and muffins before the morning drive and then a substantial brunch on return. All the meals were excellent and shared with our guides.

A highlight was the encounter with a pack of 14 wild dogs, chase and subsequent kill."

"The out of town location allowed us to continue to watch wildlife at the water hole from our room and the bar/terrace.

We made good use of the free shuttle bus into Victoria Falls town for our excursions to the falls, the tram across the VF bridge and afternoon tea at the VF Hotel."
