"Splash Camp lived up to high expectations"

4 nights Arrived 18 Mar 2025
"The camp has 'chalet' style accommodation rather than traditional tents but they are very stylish and furnished in the same African style as expected. At the end of the rainy season there was a lot of marsh area and water filled lagoons so the animal are relatively dispersed. The guides do a great job of tracking and finding the animals and we saw everything we could have hoped for. We even found the pack of over 20 wild dogs hunting in the watery marshes. There were endless large cat sightings of Lion and Cheetah. The camp and staff are excellent and could not do more to make you feel welcome." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana

"Splash Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 16 Mar 2025
"The camp is a 45 minute drive from the airstrip which gives lots of time for game viewing on the way to and from it.

The lodges are very spacious and well equipped with excellent wifi. Our lodge was a few minutes walk from the main area at the edge of the camp and there was constant elephant activity next to our lodge!

All the staff were friendly and welcoming and our guide TJ had incredible knowledge of the area and the wildlife." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana

"Splash Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 19 Feb 2025
"A fabulous stay...would definitely recommend!

Made more enjoyable because we got on so well with the two other couples who shared our drives. Our guide and tracker were excellent and had great sense of humour.

Food was good and plentiful and the portions were right-sized. accommodation excellent.

Sightings were excellent, including following cheetahs and lions for hours. We also watched a dead elephant (apparently of natural causes) being set upon by vultures, marabou storks, hyenas, jackals and a lion...not a pretty sight, but an amazing look at nature.

Splash is definitely worth a return visit!!" See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana

"Splash Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 11 Feb 2025
"The almost exact opposite of Pom Pom. New(ish) camp. Is this a forerunner of the new Kwara design.?

The rooms are similar but about one third the size. The design is different, and for me I prefer the more standard type room available almost everywhere else.

All comfortable and well run, though the food was still poor. However, the wildlife spotting was very poor indeed. Our guide (ST) and tracker (OB) were good, and worked very hard to try to find things,. but there was really very little indeed to find. Partly due to the very long grass of course, but we had long grass at other camps.

We went on this trip for the wildlife, and this camp should not have been in the agenda" See all these reviews: 12n in Botswana

"Fabulous experience"

3 nights Arrived 22 Jan 2025
"Splash camp got everything right! The food, facility and lodging were all first rate. Our guide,, ST, and tracker, SB, worked so well as a team. Their knowledge and dedication to giving us a great experience were incredible. They were also great company, very considerate of our needs in terms of photography, need for breaks, interests and conversation. The camp's setting on the edge of a lagoon gave lots of opportunities for hippo and elephant watching. A highlight for us was watching as a lion retuned from a fruitless day of hunting to find the sisters she was caring for since their mother died." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana

"Splash Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 11 Nov 2024
"Splash is a larger camp with modern tents and architecture which we liked a lot.

Splash offers a wide variety of activities (safari, mokoro, boat safari, scenic helicopter ride) which we totally enjoyed. Best food thanks to Chef Wilhelm, etc. after Chobe Safari Lodge.

Our guide Matt was very knowledgeable as was our tracker SB who had eagle eyes.

The location of the lodge was the least appealing of all four camps." See all these reviews: 12n in Botswana
