"Jackalberry Tented Camp review"
We liked the camp but the team seemed a bit over stretched as they did not pick us up as arranged and tried to put 8 in a 4WD for a game drive.
The river cruise was good but these may stop soon due to low water levels.
Tent was a bit dark with little airflow." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana

"Jackalberry Tented Camp review"
We had instructions to meet a vehicle from Jackalberry at the Wuparo Conservancy Office at Sangwali village. Unfortunately we never found this office, or the vehicle. This was undoubtedly our fault; we had contact numbers to make contact with the lodge, but our phones were not working. Helpfully though there is only one track from the village to the lodge to start with. Signs dotted along the way when more tracks converge encourage you that you are indeed heading in the right direction, so we were able to arrive at the lodge under our own steam, and we enjoyed this 'game drive' through the national park to get to it. It should be noted that it was the dry season, so attempts to do this when it is wet perhaps should not be encouraged.
We arranged to do an afternoon boat trip once we arrived, and then morning and afternoon game drives in the lodge's vehicle for the following day. These were all done with Robson as our guide. The main lodge is built around a tree, which is where all of our meals were served, and our tented room was a short walk away. There are no fences around the camp, so we would often see warthog and other small game from outside our bedroom window." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Jackalberry Tented Camp review"
The Camp has a spectacular view across the flood plain to the river and into Botswana. There are good opportunities for wildlife and bird spotting. We enjoyed the activities we undertook, an early morning game drive and a river trip.
The meals were good. The staff were friendly and efficient - very eager to please.
It was quite an adventure to visit Jackalberry but one that was most worthwhile." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
