Travel reviews by Mr K & Ms C from Germany

"Repeat guest - that should say it all.

Only complaint, like last time, quality of dinner food average; with all the fresh seafood around, could definitely be improved.

Great everything else - the tree houses are off the charts worth alone a trip to Mafia."

"Park was a bit more crowded than I had expected.

Good lion viewing and bush walks"

"Overall, I would give it 4.5 stars"

"Tents were very comfortable, except not rainproof, just fly netting; and rain it did, resulting in a scramble for tarps midnight."

"Nice place to stay as starting point for further activities"

"While I initially had hoped for more time on the river, rather than 50/50 water based / land based activities, this ended up being one of my best trips ever.

Great guiding, great scenery, good camping and catering, all in all highly recommended!"

"If you are not looking for a park with big 5s in abundance, Gorongosa is a very interesting and diverse place to go to. While that it still needs to be stocked with substantially more cats, if offers an abundance of wildlife to see.

Jeff, the resident guide has truly outstanding knowledge about the flora and fauna of Africa - likely the most informed guide we ever had1"

"Great spot to relax on the Indian Ocean - The resort could only need a few more water based activities like seakayaking.

I would give it a 9 out of 10"

"Classic Hotel"

"Great place!!!"

"Camp was a bit too groomed for my taste - too many other guests with the usual "where do you come from, what is your profession..." conversations. The prior experiences were a bit more private"

"Liked the fly camp much better than main cmp"

"see above [Ed: see below!]"

"Sayari was the sort of camp that we like to avoid; far too many guests and almost a hotel feel, but I guesss this is unavoidable in Serengeti during migration time"

"an absolutely delightful place! one of the best ocean setting locations I have ever been to (if one likes a rural romantic setting);
sligth drawbacks: a little more light in the evening (or working hed lamps ) would be helpful;
given the abundance of seefood available in the area, more faciful dishes would be nice. Also some better refrigration to keep beer and wine cold would be good.

Verdict: a few smaller flaws which are immaterial in light of the over all experience.
I would certainly go baclk any time!"

"They did not hav room available at the first nicgt but were very apologetic about it and provided another good hotel and foof for the night"

"It would have been nice to do some canoeing activity there - but not in the dry season"

"very good location - what I did not quite appreciate before is how much easier it is to approach animals by boat or car and how much quicker they take to flight if approached by humans on foot."
