Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs D from Oxon

"Comfortable camp. Especially loved the private deck overlooking the water. The hippo hide was exciting and the game amazing. We saw a leopard every day."

"An authentic bushcamp. Up close and personal with the wildlife - If staying both here and Kaingo - possibly too close as shares the same drive area"

"See previous feedback as stayed 6th - 10th October"

"Considering Pumalani is supposed to be the premier location in Malawi - and taking into account the problems in accessing supplies we were still disappointed in the standard of catering."

"Our second time here and just as good as the first.


For us this is the standard that all camps should aspire to."

"Enjoyed our time here. Our one concern was that it is advertised as a predominantly walking camp - but with only two guides you can only go for a walk if the other guests want to go for a walk too. (Ours didn't)

Thanks to some diplomacy by the guide and managers we managed to go for a couple of short walks but (with typical British reserve) felt awkward having to make a bit of an issue out of it.

Overall a good camp, great food, good guiding and excellent game."

"An excellent camp but the game viewing was disappointing. Game has moved due to the change in the water table.

No buffalo had been seen for a long time - although this was usually when they were around. Only a few lions but masses of red lechwe and warthogs.

The birdlife was amazing. Tents were excellent but food was average"

"Best guide of the trip. Albert had immense knowledge. Masses of elephants, amazingly close. Could have spent the whole time here on the deck watching them at the waterhole.

Camp has recently been upgraded and it is amazing, however the food was a big disappointment. No choice and poorly cooked."

"An airport hotel. Ideal for an overnight stop-over."

"Loved it. Paradise."

"A magical place, loved every second from the muffins at breakfast to the sounds of the hippos at night."

"A more authentic bushcamp than Chiawa but excellent in its own way. Personally would have liked to stay here first before Chiawa but this was not possible for us. We even saw an Aardvark and honey badgers! yipee!!"

"Perfectly suitable for a short overnight stay in Lusaka"

"A perfect end to a perfect holiday. Food out of this world, fabulous accommodation and attentive staff. Quiet,peaceful and no need to socialise with anyone else if you don't want to."

"An excellent begining to our holiday. Micol was a brilliant manager and attentive host."

"Camp a little 'tired'. Pippa was brilliant but camp lacked personality"

"Brlliant management - looked after my dietary requirements very well."
