"We had an excellent holiday that exceeded expectations. Saw loads of animals and birds plus wonderful scenery. Ate well, too much and too often. While this was our first visit to sub-saharan Africa and our firast safari we met manyother first-time travellers but also several seasoned safari riders who were on their tenth trip!"

"Much recomended. Our best Safari camp.
We saw an amazing selection of game on our initial ride from the air-strip to the camp.
We had a superb canoe ride. One of our game drive excursions included lunch on a boat moving along one of the waterways."

"Lots and lots of water all around. Very good Mokoro trip.
Less big game because of the amount of water but still good viewing.
We needed a boat trip prior to game drive on either of the two large islands above water."

"It ws slightly noisy from nearby staff accommodation. WC cistern didn't work but we understand that site is to be refurbished next January.
Relatively little game to see but still enjoyable.
As site faces south, there was little sun to sit in during the mid-day break."

Tau Pan Camp
"Tau Pan Camp review"
2 nights
Arrived
6 Jun 2010
"The room was lovely. Bit in room the lighting level is low and the wash basins are in a very dim area even with electic lights on.
The all-day drive was not totally successful. The first half before lunch was good but we were behind schedule in the afternoon, drove fast, saw little and omitted visiting Deception Valley in order to return to camop before night-fall.
However we did watch for a long time three cheetahs stalking a herd of Oryx trying to take on of the infant oryx.
The countryside was very different from previous camps, which added variety with enormous flat plains/pans compared with the land at Selinda and the water around the two Okavanga camps Kwetsani and Chitabe Ledibe."

Excellent service and attention.
Beware of the baboons coming into the room.
Just a little way out from the falls but easy transfer by Lodge bus or taxi.
ACTIVITIES: You must take the Microlite flight over the falls. And visit the "Walk with Lions" reserve. Superb evening during full moon to walk around falls and to see moon-rainbow over the falls (rainbow is white not multi-coloured)."
