Travel reviews by Miss J from Aylesbury

"We really enjoyed our at Illala Lodge stay. It was very relaxed, informal and we were looked after exceptionally well by all the staff, who were friendly and efficient.

The two nights we had there was a really good start to our holiday enabling us to rest up after our journey from London.

The lodge was clean, the food was excellent, and the facilities very good, and we were very well situated to view the falls being10 minutes walk away.

We enjoyed watching the warthogs wander around the grounds of the lodge."

"We loved our stay at Kanana . It was our first safari experience and lived up to all our expectations. A very special camp in a beautiful location.

We were made feel welcome from the moment we arrived by the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The camp created a very 'family like atmosphere'. Every member of staff wanted to ensure we had a perfect stay ... and we did. We were even entertained one evening by the staff singing and dancing for us before our evening meal, - lovely! The activities we enjoyed were varied, game drives and water activities.

We also took advantage of the sleep out deck, a night under the stars is not to be missed. We heard lions calling in the night - quite close, and the sunrise in the morning was beautiful. The guides impressed us with their knowledge, we learned such a lot. At all times they showed sensitivity to the environment and wildlife as well as ensuring our safety at all times. We saw an abundance of wildlife each day.

The accommodation was great, and the food excellent. A truly wonderful experience.

We were only there 3 days, but at the end of our stay we felt we were leaving good friends."

"Our stay at Little Machaba did not disappoint. A very small camp in a very beautiful location with stunning views from our room. We enjoyed watching the Pied Kingfishers each morning as they fished.

Our room was excellent, being very clean and spacious. It had both an inside and an outside shower facility.
Every member of staff we found to be friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent.

Our guide was knowledgeable and sensitive towards the environment and wildlife we encountered. We saw and abundance of wildlife each day, expertly tracked by our guide. A particular highlight was witnessing a pack of African Wild Dogs on a hunting expedition.

We enjoyed twice daily game drives, including a sundowner each evening before returning to camp for our evening meal.

An excellent stay."
