Travel reviews by Ms O from London

"We had an eagle-eyed young guide at the camp, who turned our stay here into an amazing wildlife adventure. He was quite determined we should see a leopard - and he delivered big time, showing us not only a leopard but also a leopard cub. To cap it all, on our return to the camp we came across a pack of wild dogs out hunting.

Set out along a route used by elephants, the camp itself offered good wildlife viewing - lots of the great grey creatures lumbered past our tents, while woodpeckers, squirrels and genet cats inhabited the trees. The tented accommodation was comfortable and well laid out to take in lake and game views."

"We stopped to look at a pride of about eight lions just moments before reaching Selous Impala fly-camp. At first it seemed very daunting that these magnificent creatures were our neighbours but given the camp's staff of six, including a ranger with a gun, we gradually chilled out. And we enjoyed the ingenuity of the facilities, complete with wash tent with canvas bucket shower.

The luxury extended to a dining area where the white jacketed chef served wonderful cuisine. Our guide was enormously knowledgeable and entertaining, regaling us with animal stories in the evening and taking us on a walking safari the next morning when we saw the tracks of much game that had been walking almost beside out tents the night before - from leopard and lion to buffalo and hyena."

"What a wonderful balance of laid-back luxury and game viewing. We had a superb guide who kept conjuring up lions and elephants - amongst much other game.

Highlights included a walking safari where we came (reasonably) close to a herd of elephants; a beautiful boat trip amongst crocodiles and hippos; and a stunning game drive amidst giraffes and a host of storks and weaver birds.

Menatime the hospitality and food here was second to none."

"A comfortable hotel for a stopover"
