Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs K. from Westbury

"An excellent hotel for the in-transit stays - 1 night each way. Art great, excellent room and bathroom facilities - overlooking garden and pool area. The Other Side is lovely for an after-or pre dinner drink. The food in the restaurant was very nice, service a bit haphazard but OK. One improvement - the early morning departure take away breakfast process and contents - they should just provide a selection of continental items. They tried to provide cooked breakfasts and hot drinks and one of the containers leaked over one of our parties clothes on the way to the airport. We also had to wait a little after our planned time to leave the hotel, not a big issue, but they should rethink the process. Overall a fabulous stay in this lovely hotel, very nice staff generally, nice ambience and handy for the airport!"

"Superb basic camp, which is what we wanted. Great guides, we saw lions on the way from the airstrip to the camp! Brilliant staff, excellent food and hospitality given the type of camp. Lovely location."

"Superb camp, hosts, staff and guides. Lots of wildlife including an elephant in camp, hippo very close by (actually 2 in camp tussling a few days after we left!). The work the owners do for the local community and the history of the camp is very interesting. Food and drink excellent. Front-of-house Vel very welcoming and friendly, Rory the pilot great to be with, John, Carol and Bryan very sociable and friendly. Bryan was our guide and has immense knowledge and is a lovely host. Location is breath-taking. Excellent well-equipped chalets with proper anytime showers! Enquire about flying on their Cessna rather than the 2 hour road trip from Mfuwe."

"Lovely camp - in a very remote location but easily accessible by Remote Africa flight and 30-40 minute road trip. Nice mix of walking and driving, our host Ernst flexed to our needs (there were only us 2 plus one other guest in camp so we felt we had it to ourselves). Lovely location by the Mwaleshi River. Superb service, we had a look in the kitchen, the food was incredible given the facilities the chefs have. The staff such as Special and Kennedy were excellent. Thanks to Kennedy for support when walking across the river! The scouts who accompanied us were great. Shout-out for Emmanuel, obviously very experienced and felt very safe even when we were 20 yards from a large buffalo herd! Also very knowledgeable on the tracks! Less roads in this area, hence mainly a walking camp, but the couple of drives we did including night driving were very nice and we spotted a young female leopard crossing the road one night. Notably in Rhino conservation area so there is a chance of a sighting, we didn't but we saw lots of poo and tracks!"
