Travel reviews by Mrs L from Mckinney

"When we checked in the staff person told us that we were likely to see wild animals outside our back patio door. My husband and I silently chuckled at this, but one hour later saw three elephants eating tree limbs just meters from our patio! We also saw warthogs and baboons daily.

In addition, the staff were so warm and attentive. My husband had his luggage lost on our way, and the manager worked tirelessly to help us retrieve it before we left - and succeeded."

"The service at Savuti could not have been better. Our every want and need was accommodated with a smile. They even let me use their office computer to email my teenage son to make sure he returned safely from India.

The rooms were beautiful - impossible to believe you were out in the middle of Africa.

Also, the food was amazing! I had hoped to lose weight on this trip, but gained due to the incredible cooking.

Finally, and most importantly, the wildlife was plentiful. We saw so many different animals on our list, it is impossible to list them all here. One of the highlights was seeing a wild dog hunt and later the wild dog pack taking a nap. The other had to be seeing a magnificent leopard in a tree so close you could practically touch her."

"This was my favorite of all the camps we visited - despite the others being wonderful.

The main reason why was our guides- T-bone (nickname) and Wagu - who were two of the best trackers I have ever seen. We saw lion every time we went on a drive. We also saw an African wild cat and a Serval on a night drive. But one of the most memorable experiences was seeing a cheetah and her three cubs. We were so close you could hear them purring!

Our guides were also funny and warm, which made every day there even more pleasurable. I will forever remember my time spent at Little Kwara."

"Chitabe was an enjoyable camp. The staff was very helpful and the food was wonderful.

However, we felt our guide there was not as skilled as he could have been. He seemed to struggle to follow wildlife tracks.

Our best experience there was seeing Hyena cubs with there mother. However, these animals were discovered by another guide."
