Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs P from Waterloovi

"great location for late flights into namibia,owner collects from airport
good for 1 night stay"

"excellent in all aspects except room lacked air con which in the the dry season & 40C made sleep almost impossible
the game drives were excellent as was the food & the main accomodation"

"the camp is superbly located & unparallelled with the floodlit water hole
saw 6 rhinos in 1 night & instantly in the park
if your looking for high go elsewhere but the rooms have air con & you can take breakfast before NP opens"

"location excellent saw both rhino & lions at nearby camp namutoni
the wildlife around waterholes was superb & access to eastern side of etosha was great
air con in rooms a major bonus"

"lovely lodge for a break from game drives with nice pool & relaxing enviroment
closeby etosha but would still stay at namutoni as preference given inside park & air con rooms"

"why stop here?? drive on 2 hours & save yourself a lost day
only activity was a boat trip on a low level water with next to no wildlife
camp dated poor rooms with no air con"

"located well with a nice NP within 15mins where roan antelope were seen & elephant very close up plus other game & birds
very nice lodge boat trip was very good with birding & wildlife abundant saw 5 giant kingfishers & otter
very good hosts"

"if the lodge had air con & the boat was running (water level too low ) there is a lodge closeby which has air con which in the dry season i would recommend"

"everything about muchenje was excellent
wildlife was outstanding wild dogs observed , 2 leopard sightings & lions a plenty not to mention elephant paradise also numerous sable antelope
all day game drive / boat safari simply stunning
great hosts with excellent food
rooms & main areas are well managed & equipped
staff superb"

"a real indulgence which ticks all the boxes location & service world class
even the food was value for money although drinks can be pricey
only thing to be aware of is that they want you to vacate your room by 10.30 & this can be awkward with a later afternoon flight although after speaking to manager i was able to secure room to 1pm"

"biggest disappointment was that we had to share a land rover with 5 others!
also no leopard/wild dogs/cheetah were sighted which given the information
the camp itself met expectations
the other wildlife especially lions/elephant & giraffe sightings were excellent"

"having highlighted the problems (mdonya ) with the manager at this camp we were accomodated with our own land rover
the camp was well positioned & had an abundance of very well conditioned animals with lions prolific - six different sightings with over 70 lions seen.
again no leopard or wild dogs were sighted & cheetah are not seen in Selous. the guide & driver could not be faulted for knowledge & effort
they were very accomodating with full day full on safari
the boat on the lake was also excellent with numerous hippos/crocodile & wading birds"

"hotel was 45 min drive through busy dar es salem traffic but good quality"

"unfortunately flight delay 5 hours left us at joburg airport at 2.30 am, no one was there to greet us and the place was deserted, taxi to hotel taken was scary as we were being followed.

it would greatly help to have been booked into the intransit hotels at airport"

"upgraded to royal livingstone which was a major result with this being an outstanding hotel, the other hotel was more of a holiday camp"

"outstanding in every way, superb location great rooms and fantastic staff

wild dogs were observed on 3 out of 4 game drives including a successful hunt, there must be at least a 90% chance of seeing these fantastic animals at close quarters. other game was also excellent with leopard sighting being another high"

"another superb camp at least matching if not surpassing lebala.

game drives were awesome, extremely flexible were happy to accomodate a full days safari. Janet the manageress was incredible and could not do enough.

leopard spotted on 2 occasions with great sightings, cheetah also seen on 2 occasions, lions were very prevailent and numerous were seen"

"we were the only 2 guests on day 1 & only a further 2 were there for day 2

if meerkats are the reason to go then this is a must with 2 virtually habituated troops giving some fantastic interactions

brown hyena are no longer resident & other game at this time was thin on the ground (although we did spot a caracal)

biggest bug bear is the incessant mosquitoes which were ravenous and numerous(cover up)

the staff were friendly & not overbearing with acouple of nice surprises. accomdation is adequate"
