Travel reviews by Mr B&Mrs P from Luxembourg

"We have spent 4 nights there in May with the idea to focus on photography of predators mostly. We have not been disappointed by anything there: the lodge, staff, food and activities were just perfect. We were guided by Jonas and Tssabo who make a fantastic duo always wanting to make the extra mile for you and show and explain things the more they can. The safari vehicle was good and comfortable (even though you have a lot of gear) and you are never more than 4 per drive which is quite good.

As far as the wildlife is concerned we have been particularly lucky: leopards, lions, wild dogs, elephants (even one very close in the camp), tsessebes, zebras, red lechwes, buffaloes (big hard), giraffes and so much more (not mentioning the birds).

The night drives are also a nice addition! We haven't felt too much that the concession is rather small: the landscapes and environment are very different from one place to another.

Thank you Sandibe!"

"We spent 5 nights in this remarkable lodge. Definitely memories for a lifetime! Wildlife watching / photography has truly been a dream there! The lodge itself dwells into a very laid-back atmosphere which is a different experience than what you can get in other places where 5 stars service is the general approach. Not saying it is not good, just that it is different.

The lunch and dinner are taken with everybody on the same big table. We didn't mind but sometimes you feel like you need to do some "small talk" and if you are in a honeymoon this is something you might possibly not like. The room was nice but little cold in the early morning as was the outside shower (plenty of hot water but a bit cold when you leave it at night for instance).

The real incredible value of this lodge is at the end its huge concession and the incredible tracker/guide we got. We were with Hobbs the guide and Kenneth as tracker. Kenny is a very good tracker but Hobbs is a totally awesome guide (one of the best we've ever been with) with a lot of experience, great knowledge and passion about wildlife and someone being very patient and also with a lot of empathy for his customers. We got along very well with them and saw a lot (cheetahs, lions, leopards, wild dogs..). A quick word on safari vehicles: very comfortable with a lot of room for legs and gears (contrary to bigger Kwara, vehicles have only 2 rows instead of 3 which is very good idea).

Finally, Mokoro and boat trips were splendid as well.
We wish we could come-back very soon to Little Kwara."
