Travel reviews by Mrs LP from United Kingdom

"Setari was the first camp of our trip & it was a prefect & gentle introduction especially after travelling for over 24hrs. We stayed for 2 nights, loved the comfortable boats & saw so much from the water, especially Fish Eagles. The sunset/sundowner cruise was beautiful & the mokoro trip enabled us to get to shallow places we wouldn’t otherwise have experienced.

The accommodation was fabulous & being raised on elevated walkways meant that we could move around on our own at night. Staff and guides were really helpful. All in all a great introduction."

"We stayed with Andrew & his team for 4 nights in 2 different locations. It was interesting to explore the different habitats, although the drive between them was long.

Andrew’s spotting skills are fabulous & one of many highlights was following a wild dog hunt & kill. Being in the mobile camp feels closer to nature than staying in a lodge with elephants & a leopard passing close by whilst we were having dinner. We always felt safe & the team were outstanding, the food they produced on a wood fire was exceptional & very tasty."

"We stayed at Pom Pom for 4 nights which was perfect to experience all they had to offer. Being in a Private concession we especially loved the increased flexibility especially the night drives. Being surrounded by a Pride of hunting Lions in the dark is a moment we will never forget. Our guide & spotter were excellent & we had some fantastic sightings.

The location is stunning, with animals &/or birds always frequenting the lagoon in front of the camp not to mention walking round at night. The scenery is exactly what we expected of the Delta; with lagoons, swampy areas, grasslands & wooded islands. Very beautiful.

The rooms are to a high specification & very spacious, including space for a surprise private dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary, a special treat. The staff were all extremely friendly & helpful & the food exceptional.

If we have one disappointment it’s that, as the Guides accompany guests in the dark, we felt rushed to bed. A good way instead to end the day would have been sitting round the fire chatting with fellow guests."

"On arrival at Tau Pan we thought we’d made a mistake as, from the air the area looked devoid of wildlife, however we were soon proved wrong & I believe we saw more different species, especially of birds than we had in the Delta. We found the landscape fascinating, the subtle changes & spaciousness, being in an area unaffected by man apart from a few roads is a privilege.

Our guide KB & spotter Scouper were the best we had, very keen to share their extensive knowledge. In particular on our final morning, we were disappointed to be leaving at 9.45 & thought they would take us on a short drive close to camp, but instead, they gave us their best & it was our favourite drive of the trip, & we spotted so many species including a black-maned lion.

The camp location is perfect, being able to view the waterhole both from our chalet as well as the dining area was an added bonus.
