Travel reviews by Wild dogs from Kinross

"Location was brilliant, the staff were friendly and game viewing in Tarangaire was pretty reasonable."

"The farmhouse was ok but a reasonable drive to the crater. Rooms were nice enough and food was probably the best of all lodges on our trip."

"Loved this camp, the right balance of 'bush' and comfort. Lovely campfire and truly feel like we are in the wilderness."

"Beautiful accommodation, and definitely the nicest of the lodges we stayed in. Only issue was that the camp was a good bit ahead of the migration (mid July) meaning they had not arrived yet at the Mara and quite a long drive back to see very much. Created quite long days with lots of driving with few animals. Once in the migration area it is truly spectacular."

"Breezes was a lovely fly and flop location. We chose not to do any trips and simply enjoyed the pool and beach activities. 4 or 5 nights was plenty for us with children (who are not really catered for)."

"Kapani is an excellent lodge for some game drives pre or post going to the bushcamps. For a 7+ day holiday in the Green Season it provides a good mix of drives then walking/boat trips. The lodge was very busy over Easter weekend but never felt crowded and generally there was an excellent atmosphere.

The rooms were bright and spacious. Being fed by mains electricity meant that the pool was larger than normal for a safari lodge, very clean and excellent for spending afternoons reading books.

The food is probably the outstanding feature of Kapani with excellent variety and choice."

"Mchenja was a real highlight of the trip...despite seeing significantly less game than from a safari vehicle, the feeling of viewing game on foot in such a remote location is very special.

The general wilderness, privacy and peacefulness of the location is unsurpassable. The relaxed intimate nature of the camp, friendly staff and exceptionally knowledgeable guides made our 4 nights stay a wonderful experience."

"The RL is a beautiful hotel in a wonderful location to see the falls and relax at the end of a safari in Zambia.

The food is excellent, the setting beautiful and the sunsets magical.

The RL is a very "American" hotel without the service to live up to it. The other major turn off was the price of wine which is very overpriced. The process of trying to obtain the information from the staff was often fruitless with constant one work answers... and the staff are looking for constantly looking for tips. The RL is frequented by many American guests in large organised trips so the independent traveller from the UK can find it a big strange in comparison to other, more traditional, African resorts.

That said, lazy days by the pool, an obligatory helicopter ride to see the falls properly, watching the sunset over the Zambezi and enjoying the fine food is no chore...."
