Travel reviews by The Flying Fish from UK

"Excellent!

Comfortable accomodation, great food, beautiful location and well informed guides. Brilliant attention to detail in many aspects of the camp.

Only thing was that we were taken straight out on Safari from being picke up from the Selous airstrip - we were knackered! couldn't really appreciate our first sight of the Selous since we were so tired (overnight flight etc.). We were staying for 5 nights and so were not pressed for time - would have much preferred to have been taken to the camp to get a couple of hour's sleep. I suppose it might have been different if our stay was shorted and we were trying to fit as much in as possible! Would have been nice to have been given the optionb though...

Also - provision of drinking water when on safari during the day was not great - would have been nice to have been given a flask each rather than constantly having to ask our guide for a cup every hour or so. Hot weather = lots of water needed!

Two very small points in what was an otherwise excellent stay though! Well done Impala Camp."

"Great fun - really felt like an adventure. Excellent fun. Tent was really comfortable and we were looked after well.

Gem and I were on honeymoon though and would have liked to have had dinner on our own though!"

"Same as before! Brilliant..."

"A lovely place. We had a fab time. The staff were friendly, accommodation great and food excellent.

It was great although it didn't quite feel as polished as The Impala Camp (we were spoilt there though!).

A few things:

- Asked for a wake up call and didn't get it.

- Friends had pre-arranged and paid for a champagne jacuzzi (as a suprise wedding present) for us but we didn't recieve it when we were there (despite inquiring about having one anyway - you'd think that they might have twigged here). However, they did charge our friends for it who are now trying to get there money back - what a mess!

- Errors on drinks bills. Felt that I had to check drinks bill every time I signed it since the first couple were incorrect. Surely not too hard to add up three figures to create a total! Funnily enough the adding up errors always ended up with the bill being more....

- Errors on the final bill. Felt slightly embarrassed about having to point out inconsistencies on the final hotel bill to prevent us both being over-charged. Also had to point out that were there on a full board basis instead of half-board when bills for lunch appeared on our final bill.

Safari Blue was amazing and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anybody who visits Fumba.

On the whole we had a brilliant, relaxing time here but there is definitely room for improvement with the service here!"

"A really sweet place. Great rooms, lovely service and brilliantly located to explore Stone Town.

Not much I can really say here apart from try the chocolate milkshake if you ever stay here!

Just far enough away from the ouazzine to not bother us."
