"Great Safari at Selous Safari Camp"

3 nights Arrived 22 Aug 2008
"Overall an Excellent Camp. Lovely staff, with a high standard of guiding and customer service. The whole experience felt very personal.

Fantastic game viewing in a beautiful location, with plenty of wildlife coming through the camp. Would highly recomend it.

The only small area for improvement would be in the food which relative to the price and standard of the camp as a whole could be more imaginative."

Rufiji River Camp

Rufiji River Camp

"Good Bush Camping at Rufiji"

3 nights Arrived 25 Aug 2008
"Great river side location, with excellent game viewing, particularly the boating safari and plenty of wildlife coming through the camp at night. The guides were of a good standard, slightly reserved but very knowledgeable and friendly.

The pool area was nice and the food was simple but wholesome and of good quality. This is definatley a camp not a lodge, the tents were basic but comfortable with fantastic views, if a little dated.

The camp could be greatly improved if the standard of customer service displayed by the management were improved, simple things such as a welcome in the bar area as opposed to a list of do's and don'ts at reception, talking to guests at and around dinner as opposed to eating their own meals in the corner and asking guests how things were rather than having to be found to ask for things."
