Travel reviews by RHKB from Truckee, CA

"The Camp surprised us with a private dinner in our tent complete with decorations to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were so enthralled with day’s wildlife sightings, we had completely lost track of dates. We were really touched - it is a memory that will last a lifetime.

The guiding and wildlife sightings were terrific. Lions on a kill during the day and at night, a leopard hunting, hyena stealing a kill from a leopard were all observed. We also saw a very large python. A scientist studying pangolin was present during our stay. He has radio tagged one animal that we were able to see. This was unexpected and simply good luck.

Our accommodations were great except the room still smelled of either new paint or varnish. It wasn’t enough to inquire about a room change, but we would want to avoid that in the future.

Also noteworthy, the rooms were meticulously clean. Hot coffee at 5:30am wake up call was much appreciated. Camp Managers and Staff were friendly and welcoming. We would return to this Camp."

"Guiding was excellent at this camp even though there was lower water this year.

There happen to be a Wild Dog den with puppies that we were able to visit. Birding was great.

Mayezi, our guide, knows his birds and was happy to point them out in between sightings of lions, aardwolf, honey badger, elephants, giraffes and zebra. We had stunning looks of Ground Hornbills. Near the river were Red Lechwe leaping across marshy grasslands, crocodiles sunning themselves and hippo. All great sightings."

"Great location looking out over water where we saw zebra, elephants, hippo, and lots of birds from both our tent and from the common area.

The game drives were excellent with leopard, lion, elephant, giraffe, wild dog, jackal, and many bird sightings.

We secretly hoped to see bat-eared foxes and we did, twice!

Cheetah had been seen the previous day and our guides made their best effort to track them, but we missed them. Still, good for others to know that possibility exists.

We would return to this camp."
