Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs S from Highgate

"Warmly welcomed on arrival which set the tone of four memorable days.excellent individual rondawels overlooking the vast Chobe plain and river, viewed from our patio and the restaurant area. Excellent guide, with Lips, who managed to show all the game, even a leopard chasing a giant lizard. Our young grandchildren were so warmly looked after at meals and on the boat and game drives. This was our second stay at the Muchenje Lodge and would love to come back. Can highly recommend and no negative comments at all."

"We were well received and service polite and good. Good choice of restaurants and within walking distance of Victoria Falls in all its splendour. Numerous very good shops selling lovely African goods and spoilt for choice. A great experience and highly recommend ."

"Our first Camp and first taste of Botswana was wonderful. We had an excellent guide, Alberto, who immediately took us from the 'plane to a young family of lions 10 days and 3 months old- an unforgettable experience. The next 2 days he showed us many birds, more lion adn a beautiful Cheetah. His knowledge of the trees and plant life was also memorable.

He appeared to be less well on the 2 nd evening and it subsequently emerged that he had had an accident earlier this year and there were complications following that. I do hope he got better and was, I hope taken to hospital. Could you let us know please. His illness did not deter his enthusiasm and he tried to continuw but was in pain.

The camp was well situeated and the atmosphere and ambience wonderful. We have no complaints.

We left on time for the next camp."

"A great setting for the camp and good lively introduction to the Camp and activities by the Leader , Olivia. Again very good guies and the walking tour was well worth the trip with a guide, Waso, who knew the plants and trees as well as the habits of the animals.

The Makoro trip was really good with Foster. A great Camp to return to."

"Good introduction from Alex and Karien and an excellent guide in Relax. He was so patient in telling us , yet again, what the name of the bird or plant was.

We were also lucky to see a leopard and its prey as well as a romantic lion couple. Great setting for the Camp."

"Arrival at Muchenje, after about an hour in the Land Cruiser through bush, was stunning - I had to utter a loud ''Wow''. The Camp overlooking the great flooded Chobe, was so dramatic and beautiful.

A very good Guide in Begosi (BG), with a good sense of humour and clearly loves his job. Very patient and up at all times to show us the maximum. Great Elephant herds and buffalo herds as well as Giraffe and many antelope and birds. We caught a glimpse of lion but they eluded us the second day.

Well run Camp by managers Cathy and Ron.

Would love to return."
