Travel reviews by Laura from from SF

"Very nice. Location fabulous. Pool great.

I wish they'd reminded me that breakfast was included when I checked in."

"Lovely staff, especially Maggie, Ryder and Gordi. They truly went the extra mile.

I was a little surprised that meals were family style; that would have been very good information.
Also, I think it would have been good to have a option of solo dining without it being awkward.

The waterhole in front of the camp was just incredible.

The facilities were immaculate. The outdoor shower was such a treat.

The game rides were fantastic.
I cannot say enough about the animals. Wow, wow, wow."

"Very nice staff, they were initially standoffish but warmed up.

Facilities were fancier than Ilala but not as well-ventilated and in fact when it was windy was much less comfortable and harder to adjust.
It would have been great to have the coffee with wakeup.

Pool was fantastic (same with Ilala).

Meals were family style; that would have been great to be very clear before getting there. They accommodated solo dining but it was quite awkward. After being with people all day it was really a lot to also dine with them. To consolidate the memories it helped me to have some quiet time. Others are different, I know, but options are important.

Also, staff do not get to see their families for 2 months (guides) or 3 months (everyone else) and they are not allowed access wifi (which does exist at camp). That truly is not ok. The divide between us is huge already; compassion is important.

At times I felt a little unsafe -- on the boat ride and once with the elephants in particular; I wished we had been further from a bull who was protecting his family. On the boat ride it was beautiful but that is also the highest mosquito time. I wished that there had been mosquito spray available right on the truck or some other provision."
