Feedback response
After sending us the above comments, this traveller subsequently kindly droped a note to the camp, which commented:
'Lagoon was one of five camps on our itinerary – and certainly one of the most memorable for all of us. This was chiefly on account of our guide, Carlos, and tracker, BeeDee (?). They were a great team and together they taught us so much about the bush/savannah and its inhabitants. Their ultimately successful (against the odds, we were thinking!) tracking of a family of wild dogs with pups after abandoning their den was a triumph of skill and perseverance. Carlos was knowledgeable and interesting on so many subjects, and BeeDee, very bright and intuitive, was more impressive than most guides we met on the safari.
The camp staff were very attentive; they worked (and sang!) hard to create a friendly, memorable atmosphere.
Many thanks for a very special three days!'

Private Mobile Camp, Botswana (this camp has since closed)
"Santantadibe Mobile Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
12 Sep 2010
"The highlight of our safari!
We were not sure exactly what this stay would would involve (the description "mobile camp" is not quite right!). We particularly enjoyed having undivided use of the camp and the attention of Grant and his team."
