Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs T from Cambs.

"We loved every minute of our time here. The staff were always super-attentive and helpful. The food was always excellent and we could eat at any time we wished within reason. The rooms were well laid out and luxurious, in some areas however it was starting to look just tiny little bit tired around the reception lounge sofas and rugs. We left feedback to this effect. Nevertheless it was a fabulous venue and experience. A surprising amount of game seen on our drives, even though it was a desert location. Wonderful place to see!"

"Easy to find with your instructions. A bit disappointed with the noise levels as double gazing probably not really up to current standards for an on-airport hotel. Perhaps the Intercontinental may be better in future? The menu was not extensive when we only wanted a snack, when it arrived - it was cold. As we only had a one-night stopover here, it was not not a real problem. Convenient."

"Again a lovely venue and outlook. Food was always excellent, staff were always brilliant and nothing was too much trouble.
It was a lovely experience and we loved everything about the camp and the stay. There were no downsides at all."

"Again we could not find a single fault with anything we did or had here. It was a great place to be and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The staff were wonderfull."

"The staff were great, and facilities were up to the same standard as the rest of the camps we visited. This was the largest of our rooms on the trip and was a fabulous size for thatched tented accommodation. The location was once again superb and they even made a special surprise, in-room dinner - with waitress, for our wedding anniversary. We wished we had stayed another night."

"Our pick-up from the airport was on time and efficient.

We loved this place, just one or two small points could have made it a really excellent stay.

Despite only a few guests, on one morning all the hot water was taken by the room next door so we had a cold bath.
Rooms were quite cold with no extra heating, so a hot water bottle would have been nice or an electric blanket perhaps?

Just a bit more TLC around the hotel would have made all the difference as it was a bit 'tired' in a few places - but we really loved the 'colonial' ambience and the quality of the woodwork and fixtures. Staff were good and attentive, although the breakfasts were not to the same standard as the rest on the trip, but still OK.

They also now accept VISA credit cards."

"Everything about this stay was excellent, except we had a thieving mouse who stole the early morning flapjack biscuits and our soap!!

The guides and staff were superb, so was food and service. The location and ambience were wonderful.
Our visit to the orphanage was eye opening and game drives and rock paintings were excellent.

Electric blankets were a nice touch, as it was cold in the early morning. We were sad to leave?
This park is a bit devoid of mammal species due to the poaching activities some years ago. We were told populations were slowly re-establishing."

"Just one or two small points regarding transfers.

Whilst accepting that the camp is around 50 miles from the nearest hard road, we thought that a 9.5 hr transfer was a little too long for comfort (nevertheless it was an enjoyable experience). We were however given a packed lunch which was very nice.

On the transfer to Vic Falls we had a 6am start which, in an open vehicle, was a little cold (this part took 3hrs), we were however met by another 'closed' vehicle and this part took 2 hrs.

All other aspects of the trip were outstanding. What a super location, right under the tree line and with the waterhole and hide it was spectacular. One other good aspect was that we could use a red spotlight to look for game on our way back in the evenings. This proved very successful as we were able to locate and watch a leopard.

Food was excellent, as were staff. Again, we didn't want to leave."

"We couldn't fault this hotel, everything about it was excellent or good.

The location suited us well. Food and service were excellent. Staff were always more than helpful. The manager always checked with us if everything was OK morning and evening. They have free Internet and wifi connections for use by guests. The on-site activities booking office was very efficient with our trips and also our flight confirmations.

This hotel now accepts both VISA and MasterCard credit cards."
