"The welcome was very warm abd it was one of my best stays in my life, the room was amazing, the giraffes extraordinary. The food absolut delicious. It was wonderful. The waiter were very kind and took a lot of pictures but sometimes 200 from the same motiv :-) - this is a very small thing, that I would criticize."

Karen Blixen Camp
"This was a disappointment"
4 nights
Arrived
12 Nov 2019
"I would give a good but I know the price and it was´nt luxury it was like a three or maximal 4 stars lodge. There were a lot of mistakes and I will give you the statement that I was given the managment there.
I arrived and was called Eva, this is the Name of my Mother and I'm Sure, that Lindsey from expertafrica told you, that my Name is Jana, it was working at the other 3 destinations. There is no showergel and bodylotion in the tents. It is unusually that you take the same cutlery for the starter and the main menue, sometimes you get the Drinks with icecubes and Lemon, sometimes not. You have to subscripe for your Drinks- do you not Trust your Staff? The stones at the pool are partially broken and inside it is very slippery because of not cleaning. It is in this category inacceptable to lie on your knees 4 times a day to open or close your tent. On my last evening diner, the steak should be medium and it was more than well done, the cheese war partially frozen. The salad is every day the same. The Coffee is inedible, thats why most of the guests drinking tea. If I would think more about, I'm sure, I would find more things, they are not good enough for taking so much money from the guests. I hope you all will grow with this critic.
It was not worth the money and Tortilis Camp was much better but cheaper I think.
The owner is a danish person and he make a lot for the community but the first days there were a lot of students for sterilize the dogs in the community but for the other guests it was a feeling like being in a hostel in Berlin. The waiter werent attentively and a lot of other thinks.
I shared a car with a couple from denmark.
I would not recommended this camp."

Feedback response
We are really sorry to hear about this travellers' experience at Karen Blixen Camp, this is not the standard that we would have expected from this safari camp and this does not reflect our own experiences when staying here previously. We have been in touch with the management at Karen Blixen and they have taken these comments on board. They informed us that the pool is scheduled for repair shortly with work due to be completed by June 2020. They are also looking to introduce shower gel and body lotion in the tents. The team was disappointed to hear about her experience of the food and drink at Karen Blixen Camp and they are looking at ways to raise standards, this will include further staff training and bringing in refrigerators for cheese.
