"Little Vumbura review"

3 nights Arrived 1 Nov 2023
"Beautiful setting and accommodation, very friendly staff, had a very personal/family feel. Loved the island setting with the water transfer to the safari vehicle. Very personalized safari experience . . . sat for long period of time (as we wanted) observing an elephant family (amazing experience), able to follow 2 lionessess and cubs as they closed in on an antelope just to name a few of our incredible experiences.
Food was very good and sensible portions."

Botswana Private Mobile Safari

Botswana Private Mobile Safari

"Botswana Private Mobile Safari review"

5 nights Arrived 4 Nov 2023
"Very different, not sure we were fully aware of what we were in store for but a wonderful experience! Andrew was an amazing guide and host, he really knew the area and provided lots of background details on the animal sightings. His passion was incredible and infectious . . . on our last day due to his diligence and tracking skills we were able to see 3 wild dogs with their kill.
Very hot in the tents during the day when we were there and no opportunity for cooling off apart from a brief shower prior to the late afternoon drive. Any kind of a fan would have been appreciated.
But the one thing I think that definitely needs to be improved are the beds, very uncomfortable, not sure if replacing the mattresses would do it but definitely a good starting point.
Don't like to end on a negative note like this as it was an amazing experience."

Kruger Shalati Train on the Bridge (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"Kruger Shalati Train on the Bridge review"

3 nights Arrived 13 Nov 2023
"Beautiful, unique setting however we much preferred Botswana as a safari destination.
Kruger was more crowded and did not seem as natural a setting.
However we still had amazing safari sightings, saw black and white rhinos, hyenas, lions etc"
