Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs S from UK

"The staff and Manager Joanne were excellent and very helpful. The accommodation superb and comfortable.

Our Guide Cameron was enthusiastic and knowledgeable making the whole experience even better. Sadly, we didn't see any Lion or Leopard but they were definitely around. We did see an Aardwolf however which was amazing. The Fishing was fun even though my husband and daughter failed to catch a tiger fish and the Carmine bee-eaters spectacular. The Sijwa tour was very interesting and worth the trip although we spent too much but all in a good cause!

Anyone interested in birds this lodge is a must. The game drives we full of wildlife we especially enjoyed the elephants playing in the lake as the sun went down. We would certainly recommend this lodge to anyone probably one of the highlights of our trip."

"Beautifully situated lodge with Elephants enjoying a drink on our arrival magical. Erica the manager was helpful and friendly.

The accommodation was as described, our adult daughter was travelling with us, we had a family tent which was well laid out and gave her privacy.

Sadly, the game guide lacked communication skills to make a rather dull game drive on the first evening more interesting, not his fault lack of animals, except for lots of warthog and a large herd of buffalo on the way back to the lodge in the dusk which was amazing. Also, the sundowner a disappointment as only offered beer in tins with no glasses or alternative for the ladies.

The Combo Drive with the river cruise was well worth it seeing lots of Elephant, Hippo, Zebra, Lechwe and Bird life and a proper sundowner! (I and another guest had spoken to Erica the previous evening)

Despite the tiny problems they did not spoil the stay and we would recommend this lodge for the experience and location. Its Africa!"
