"Lagoon Camp review"
Loved our HUGE suite on the river!" See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana
"Great Safaris and Boat trip at Lagoon Camp"
Our guide, Carlos, and tracker, PD, worked very hard and gave us some excellent sightings." See all these reviews: 12n in Botswana
"Ostentatious Camp in Beautiful setting"
Food was excellent, but the camp lacked atmosphere.
The guide and tracker were good at tracking, but a little less communicative than at other camps.
When I arrived I was told that the camp offered four activities - game drives, fishing , walking and boat trips.However it was difficult to persuade them to provide any thing other than a game drive and only after a lot of pushing was I 'squeezed in' on a crowded boat with another group.
It is a camp rule that guests must be escorted to and from their rooms after dark. On one occasion I was forgotten and had to shout for assistance. I felt that management and communication were not as good as elsewhere." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana
"Lagoon Camp review"
"Lagoon Camp review"
The rooms were luxurious and the staff terrific. No desire went unfulfilled and they even sang me Happy Birthday and make a little cake!
The trackers and spotters are amazing, although I cannot say we shared their penchant for the Africa Wild Dog. However, my leopard wishes were more than filled with 3 daytime sightings of 3 individual animals.
The general game viewing is good too and the day we followed two male lion from their kill to the waterhole to drink was incredible. Both Spencer and Aaron are to be commended for their skills and humour." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana
"Again very enjoyable"
We actually preferred it as it was. It is now a bit over the top. But another very enjoyable stay. the river cruise was a big disappointment. The only negative of our trip. Last visit the cruise was much better." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana
"Lagoon Camp review"
"Lagoon Camp review"
We had to wait 2 hours on arrival before our tent was ready and this was mismanaged as the vacating guests should have been given a set time to vacate rooms. Otherwise all was fine.
We loved Carlos playing guitar and singing round the campfire at night." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe
"Lagoon Camp-What a Setting!"
Dux then showed us our tent. Again the setting was amazing. Deck, bed, soak tub and shower all afforded a view of the river. No wonder the hippos liked it so well there.
Our Guide Paul and our Tracker Isaiah again proved to be a great team. We watched the elephants maneuver their babies across the river. We saw three female lions resting in the midday. We saw a crocodile feasting on an elephant. We came boat to nose with a hippo in the river.,not to mention tracking a leopard. We were most fortunate."

"Lagoon Camp review"
Besides seeing abundant elephant, antelope, hippo and co we were fortunate enough to have good sightings of leopard, wild dogs, jackel, mongooses, civet and genet. Our guide was particularly interested in birdlife which was abundant." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
