Sand Rivers Camp

Sand Rivers Camp

"Sand Rivers Camp review"

4 nights Arrived 10 Jan 2023
"Fantastic welcome and attention from the staff. Above average food quality and plenty of drinks available. A really nice relaxed vibe in the main dining area.

Good wifi although a pity this was limited to the pool area.

Our room was very comfortable and had a great view of the river. We especially appreciated the good size of the room and the bathroom facilities worked well.

The game drives were longer than other camps we had been to but much appreciated and we were absolutely thrilled to have such a good leopard sighting along the river.

We took the chance to do the walking safari, night safari and fishing on the river trip to emphasise the range of camp activities we were able to enjoy."

Swahili House

"Swahili House review"

2 nights Arrived 14 Jan 2023
"A stylish and characterful hotel in the heart of Stonetown.

Easy to get lost without a town map which was not available from reception - we picked one up from another hotel!

The spice farm visit and Stonetown guided walk arranged by the hotel were great.

The bar/restaurant at rooftop level was spectacular but slightly let down by only average food quality."

Pongwe Beach Hotel

Pongwe Beach Hotel

"Pongwe Beach Hotel review"

4 nights Arrived 16 Jan 2023
"A really magical white sand beach with beautiful palms and high quality beech front rooms.

Above average food, the fantastic infinity pool and really friendly staff made this visit very memorable.

Maybe a place for a good relax rather than full activity such as snorkelling/scuba/sailing."
