Waterberry Zambezi Lodge
"Waterberry Zambezi Lodge review"
4 nights
Arrived
11 Aug 2022
"We were in the Farmhouse, just the family, which was lovely as we could really relax.
It is a beautiful house with lovely gardens and very comfortable. Perfect place to end the holiday.
Quite a long drive to The Falls and Livingstone. Crossing the Bridge into Zimbabwe a bit chaotic but worth it.
Visit to the School a must."

Botswana and 1 other country between 14 Aug 2008 and 27 Aug 2008
"A most wonderful trip but slightly tainted by a very dissapointing visit to Kings Pool Premier Camp. The pure extravagance and oppulance does not compensate for poor game viewing.
If Wilderness Safaris are moving to towards more and bigger Premier camps I trust they retain some of the Clasics."

"Very dissappointed with this camp.
Game viewing was extreamly poor and the shere oppulance of the camp just does not compensate for the poor game.
This Premier Camp is not for me."

"Perfect final Camp"
3 nights
Arrived

"Absolutely lovely camp.
Do not go to this camp if you want to see the big 5. Game viewing slightly limited as this a water camp. Very relaxing and an ideal camp to wind down at before exiting the delta."

More game than expected, especially Wildebeest and Zebra and the Mere Cats a delight.
Sleepout night disappointing as cold and windy and bit cloudy, evening of arrival not best time to do it as we had been travelling for 24hours and very tired.
Guide De Clerk was excellent and taught us much about the Bushmen."
