Great location and short walk to Victoria Falls and bridge to Zimbabwe.
Pool area very nice for lounging and eating but uneven food service."

"This was our favorite camp. 8 hours of game drives a day. One Mokoro ride.
Cabins very nice with outdoor shower and deck with view of watering hole which almost always had animals. Animals walking around the camp, including elephants and hyenas.
Friendly staff, knowledgeable and fun guides, good with kids, and excellent food.
Saw tons of wild life including leopard, cheetahs, lions, wild dogs, elephants, giraffes, etc. Great amenities on game drives including hot water bottles and blankets for cold early morning game drives."

"Nice place but a level below the other camps.
Rooms adequate. Lounge and deck area comfortable.
Unfortunately with the drought the river was dry so did not see any wildlife other than birds."

Enjoyed the hot water bottles in bed and Amurula with candy on night table - nice touch! They arranged excellent outings to Cradle of Humankind and Soweto.
Greatly enjoyed Soweto visit - in no small part due to Marvin our personable and knowledgeable guide who really wanted us to truly understand the history of Soweto."
