Travel reviews by Peter & Helenka from UK

"This is a fantastic location in a well established lodge which is well organised. The game drives we're very good with a very well informed guide.

We saw a lot of wild life the scenery is stunning and the whole stay here could not be faulted.

The lodge managers were the perfect host and hostess forever attending to our needs without being asked"

"The location does not seem to have been thought out well tents very exposed and I would imagine will flood in rainy season. It rained when we were there and the paths got very sticky taking lots of dirt into dining areas and lodges. The game dives were well organised and Stanley was a fantastic gide even taking us out at night as an extra just to see a lion. The local staff brilliant and the food was lovely even soup on a particularly cold day.

The manger and his partner were rarely seen and were conspicuous by there absence most of the time. They did not even turn out at the end of drives or to say goodbye. The rest of the staff did. Such a contrast to the previous lodge

The family tent is not well designed with only one toilet in the main tent but none in the children's. They had to get out of bed unzip the door and then walk across a raised but open walk way and then unzip our tent and go to our toilet. Teenage girls need bathroom and toilet facilities on hand. The one time we spoke to the lodge manager and asked for a move produced prompt response and the girls were moved to a tent of their own.

The weather was poor and the loges and dining areas had to have there walls secured hence there was often no view.

Overall fantastic staff and guides but a rather soulless place made worse by inattentive managers."

"Wonderful place. Staff and management just so attentive. Location amazing. Food out of this world, could easily be a top rated London restaurant standard Lovely wine list.

The rooms brilliantly designed quirky features like Porthmeirion but an even better setting.

Cannot recommend this place too highly sorry we only had two nights but will try to revisit in future"

"Once we got there it was lovely. However it took 4 hours to get from Likomo Island.

The Mozambique customs took one hour to produce the Visas and would only accept 50 dollar bills anything smaller was not acceptable. The journey there was not nice with a headwind and very choppy sea and a rather old wooden boat which was open. The staff were lovely the food initially was basic because they had run out of essentials. due to the poor whether delaying the delivery on the Malawian lake steamer.

We lazed for a couple of days on a perfect whit sandy beach and were indulged by the staff who were so attentive.

We did no activities apart from some gentle canoeing on a perfect sea."

"Very welcoming nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic situation overlooking the river.

Limited wildlife apart from a few elephants in the lodge grounds on the first night. Did a drive, a walk and a Canoe up the river all superbly run. Cannot praise the staff enough All, even including the chef, came down to the airstrip to wave us off. Would have liked another night at least.

The reserve is being restocked by African Parks and in a few years will be as good as Majete for wildlife. However, the scenery is spectacular and its worth going just for that alone."

"Very welcoming

Relaxed feel nice spacious rooms very comfortable bed

Staff helpful and whole place was a great start to holiday"

"Great situation although only there one night we had two safari trips one walking and one driving.

Guide was so helpful and found the cheetahs and leopards and took us so close

It's a big camp but the staff made it very personal"

"Lovey camp

Fantastic dining/ bar area and really fun tents which were so spacious and comfortable

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and the guide

Food excellent

Trips out into Etosha were amazing"

"We all loved this camp, the setting ,the drives in the Ongava reserve, the water hole and the quirky rooms combined with fantastic friendly service made this a really memorable experience"

"Our trip just got better and better this is an amazing place. The setting is so dramatic. The rooms massive, the staff wonderful and always singing for you.

Trips out exactly great seeing exactly what was promised

Food excellent both in the dining area and the evening meal in the desert was a really special event"

"Again this is just a wonderful place to stay. Thomas is so welcoming and attentive to your every need. Lovely food especially the lunch out on Safari

Lodges so comfortable and the main dining/reception area is full of interest with some wonderful books just lying around

The trip to the Sand dunes was yet another memorable experience amongst the many we had"

"Probably we had been spoilt at all the other excellent places but overall this was a little disappointing

It was the only place where ther was no water or facilities for making a drink in the rooms. The staff in the bar and restaurant were friendly but the management on arrival and on leaving were not as friendly as in other places. The rooms are odd design and functional rather than comfortable

The trip to the canyon was a great experience and the guide was entertaining and informative as well as being a very good driver"
