Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs A from Northants.

"Superb accommodation and food, with really friendly and professional staff. We were really made to feel at home at this camp and absolutely loved the experience.

Expert guiding from Tuso (and work experience trainee Andrew) with a real willingness to seek out great game sightings without worrying how long the game drive was taking.

A great variety of terrain and habitat meant animal and bird sightings were really varied."

"The camp managers Alex and Corinne were great - very professional and very friendly. The camp staff were also very good, although initially the atmosphere created by the staff on arrival felt a bit stilted and rigid/formal.

Unfortunately, water levels meant there wasn't much game on the island itself, but the boat trips we took were wonderfully relaxing, and the scarcity of game meant we decided to take a more relaxed approach to our game viewing, spending "quality time" with, for example, a baby giraffe and its mother and a family of warthogs, rather than worrying about "more exciting" game sightings.

If this had been our first or our last camp I think we would have been a bit disappointed about the lack of game (luck of the draw on safari trips!), but as it was our "middle" camp, it actually worked very well for us in terms of a relaxing contrast and also gave us an insight into a more watery environment in the Delta, so were are happy we went to Shinde.

The accommodation and food - while very good - were not as good as at the first (Chitabe Lediba) or last (Lagoon) camps."

"A wonderful camp - really fantastic accommodation and layout - and a very friendly environment created by the professional staff.

Great expertise, enthusiasm, commitment and customer care from the driver/guide (Carlos) and tracker (James).

Two great activity sightings with the local pack of wild dogs and a long daylight sighting with a pangolin added to the excitement of the game viewings !"
