Selinda Explorers Camp
"Selinda Explorers Camp review"
Because the area was very dry, we were not offered any water activities but game viewing was very good.
Our guide, Oats is really knowledgeable. It was so good to listen to his talk about animal's behavior.
Staff were very friendly. Food was very good. Bush lunch and special Botswana style dinner were memorable experiences.
We love sociable atmosphere of this camp."

Kafue National Park
Zambia between 9 Aug 2018 and 18 Aug 2018
I often travel solo. so camp's friendly atmosphere is a priority. In this sense I think Musekese and Ntemwa are the best camps I've ever stayed in Africa.
I will go back ---probably next year."

Pioneer Camp
"Pioneer Camp review"
There was a large party (35 people) staying at the camp and they gathered at the restaurant area before each meal, so I sat at the bar and waited for a while until my table was set. But staff were very friendly and food was good."

Musekese Camp
"Peaceful and friendly"
Elephants are regular visitors to the camp. I was fortunate to have been guided by Tyrone, James, and Ephy. Guinding was excellent. I missed wild dogs but I saw lions, leopards, many antelopes, and many kind of birds.
Camp manager Kolo and all of the staff are super friendly. Food was very tasty and my food preference was well catered for.
I apreciate their family hospitality.
Thank you Tyrone and Musekese team for wonderfu holiday. I will definately go back."

Ntemwa Busanga Camp
"My favorite camp in Busanga Plain"
I stayed there for 3 nights and was guided by James. I was amazed by his knowledge. He was also looked after me very well. Busanga plains is stunning. I love this vast open plain.
The game was a bit quiet while I was there, but I saw buffaloes, wothog families, many antelopes, and beautiful birds.
It takes more than 3 hours drive to get there from its main camp Musekese (and Tsetse were very active in some places) but worth to visit. I want to stay longer next time."

Musekese Camp
"Musekese Camp review"
Hwange safari
Zimbabwe between 28 Apr 2018 and 4 May 2018
I was very lucky to have Julian throughout my stay and really impressed Julian's enthusiasm and hospitality to the guests.
I shared my all activities (6 days) with a nice American couple from California. We've become friends and this is another highlight of this safari.
Thank you Freddie for your travel arrangement of my safari."

Camp Hwange
"Beautiful camp with great view"
Food was excellent, I think one of the best food experience I have ever had at the camps in Africa.
Julian, who has wealth of knowledge, was my guide throughout my stay and I really enjoyed walking. It was an exciting moment facing an elephant. We happened to find Bat-eared fox while walking. And walking up to buffaloes was another exciting moent as well.
All of camp staff are very friendly and helpful."

Hwange Bush Camp
"Awsome experience"
I always enjoyed meals with other guests, camp staffs and guides. I love this familiar atmoshere.
My guide was Julian. On the way to the camp, I had my first experience to touch a Python. We tracked lions on foot but didn't find them, but on my third day , finally we saw the lion, "Vusi", with 4 females and 2 cubs.
I would definately stay there again."
Absolutely wonderful!
Tanzania between 5 Aug 2017 and 15 Aug 2017
All of my travel arrangement ran very smoothly and I had nothing to worry about.
As I stated before, I like small, rustic camps and I really love warm hospitality of the people working there. This might be one of the reasons why I don't stop going to African countries on safari."

Legendary Lodge
"Beautiful lodge"
Each room has a terrace with a table and chairs. I love watching the cute visitors (dik dik) while sitting in the chair on the terrace."

Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp
"Small, intimate camp"
I was very welcomed by the Manager John and camp staff. They are very kind and friendly, I was able to relax at my room as if I were in my home. I enjoyed bucket shower, and it was my favorite moment to have coffee in front of my room at dawn. Meals were great.
I was picked up by my private guide David at Kogatente Airstrip. He was a friendly, experienced guide. We saw wildebeests' river crossing on the way to the camp from the airstrip. Next day, we saw black rhinos.
I really enjoyed chatting with him about amimals, cultures, etc.
It was nice to meet and talk with other guests during meal times."

Chada Camp
"Wonderful camp!"
Katavi is remote but a beautiful place. It has variety of landscapes, animals, birds ......
I was welcomed by Katavi team. Manager Hamza was very friendly and helpful.
My guide, Jo was skilled, passionate, and helpful.
I shared the game drives with an American Gentleman for 3 days. It was fun to share the experience with him.
Elephant sometimes passed close to my room...I got thrilled...I was scared a little though.
On my 4th night, Hamza (the manager) and another guide took me a night game drive. It was a wonderful drive, it didn't take more than 5 minuites to find 2 leopards.
It was lovely to interact with other guests...very friendly Italian families.
I love Katavi so much. I really want to go there again.."

Chada fly-camping
"Paradise!"
