Mowani Mountain Camp

"Disappointing, poor atmosphere"

2 nights Arrived 9 Sep 2019
"No safari atmosphere. Even charge you for still water. Poor management communication.

Game drive disappointing as much of it in sight of other lodges. When we found elephants they were surrounded by other vehicles. Concerned that drivers hemmed in herd with v young elephants. Saw v little else. Supposed to have two activities but only had one and manager unhelpful. Food good."

Desert Rhino Camp

Desert Rhino Camp

"Good rhino and elephant sightings but little "

3 nights Arrived 13 Sep 2019
"Good rhino sightings and desert-adapted elephants but little else. Birdlife non-existent.

Eventually saw hyena den after pushing repeatedly to go having been told about it by camp manager. Guide v resistant to requests and needed clothes that didn’t show his large belly and private parts when he bent over. Lots of hard driving to get anywhere.

Camp v good and food OK but not startlingly good."

Lagoon Camp

Lagoon Camp

"Lagoon Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 23 Apr 2018
"Very good - as always. Great lion, wild dog and leopard sightings - especially the two leopard cubs playing near a waterhole. Very good guides, who add their knowledge to broaden the whole experience. Camp is comfortable, good great. Maybe they could cut out the singing while you are waiting to eat. Nice once but not at every camp."

"Tau Pan Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 28 Apr 2018
"Great game viewing - lions especially. Excellent tracker - Scooper. Shame about the gang of noisy Americans - we had to ask to be moved to another vehicle. Kwando need to get on top of this. All staff, except the vanishing manager, very good and attentive. Our third visit and we will go back again."
