My Sep 2009 trip
Tanzania and 1 other country between 10 Sep 2009 and 24 Sep 2009
"Although well travelled, old and cynical we had many "heart stopping moments" during animal encounters. I will never be able to persuade my wife into a simple tent again - she will insist on mahogany furnishings."

Mdonya Old River Camp
"Mdonya Old River Camp review"
4 nights
Arrived
14 Sep 2009
"While Selous to Mdonya might be the correct order from the "observing animals" point of view, the more simple living conditions seem like a down grade after the luxury of Impala.
Would it be better to reverse the order of the camps?"

Feedback response
We contacted these travellers on receipt of their feedback to have a chat about their trip and for further clarification about the above comment.
They responded that although they thought the accommodation was lovely and the owner was charming, they found that the lodge was full of honeymooners and young families. They felt that they were the oldest guests there. However, having said that, they enjoyed their stay at Shooting Lodge and didn’t want their comment to sound like a criticism.
