Travel reviews by Mrs A. from Henley

"Lodge was excellent with amazing views of the river and only 20 minutes to Victoria falls. The staff were friendly and the guide was excellent.

The evening sundowner boat trip was lovely and saw lots of animals on the banks of the river. very relaxing.

Would recommend this camp."

"The rooms were great and a nice touch having hot water bottles in the bed!

The games drives were amazing, so many animals and great to see a couple of kills with different animals interacting with each other. The guide was the best we had in Botswana, he had worked at the camp for 23 years and was very knowledgeable on animals as well as birds and got really close to the animals, but made us feel safe.

I would highly recommend staying at this camp."

"This camp is on an island, which was a nice experience as each day you had a 5 minutes boat trip to land to start your game drives. The room was lovely and probably the best of our trip having lots of light and sitting area to watch the animals.

The food was excellent and a nice touch putting a selection of wine on a table so you could decide which one you wanted with your meal.

Was nice also having dinner on your own table rather than having to make conversation with other guests.

The trip on a Mokoro is worth while, it made a nice change to being in a safari truck, would recommend (fibre glass boat, not wood). Remember bug spray!

Saw lots of animals, but the guide even though was very knowledgeable, he was useless at spotting the animals, we spotted more than him!

Would recommend as the scenery was a different"

"This camp was nice being on ground level, and had a very traditional camp feel.

The staff were friendly and the food was the highlight of the whole trip. Lots of fresh vegetable and salads and good quality meat/fish, lots of variety.

The guide was a women which was nice to see and was very knowledgeable, she was very good at tracking animals. We saw lots of animals and birds.

The room was a luxury tent and got very hot in the afternoon.

Would highly recommend this camp."

"San Camp location was amazing and I have not seen anything like it before, you felt like you were on the moon. Even though there is not much vegetation, we saw lots of animals, more than I thought we would, which was a nice surprise.

Highlight was seeing the Meerkats, the trip to the San People was ok but a bit awkward at times. The trip on the quad bikes was good fun, but they played silly games to waste time before the sun went down to surprise everyone with a meal out on the pans, which was a nice surprise, but what was not a nice surprise was they are expecting you to sleep out over night, which I was not wanting to do, so we got driven back to camp.

The staff here are very lazy and we had to wait for over an hour for breakfast on two mornings, even though they told us we need to be there at a certain time. very disorganised and poor management.

The rooms are very quirky, down side no bedside lamps so you have to get up and cross the room to turn the lights off and walk back in the dark, this could be a bit hazardous at times!

The guide was excellent though and made our stay her pleasant, and even took us on an extra night drive and we saw an Aardvark.

I would not recommend this camp, but if you want to see the Pans then you have limited options and the company owns all three camps and they do the same activities rotating guests.

WiFi is rubbish"
