Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge

Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge

"Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 6 Oct 2022
"Very nice accommodation with lovely views.

Excellent ranger and tracker who made a great effort to see a leopard. We succeeded but very poor view from about 80yards.

We were very fortunate to be invited to the assessment of a chef and were able to enjoy a superb tasting menu.

Breakfast not up to standard of other lodges.

Very lucky to see lion mating."

Jaci's Safari Lodge (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"superb visit to Jaci's lodge"

3 nights Arrived 2 Nov 2010
"We found the whole experience at Jaci's excellent. Wewere most impresed at the way all the guides in Medikwe shared sightings of the animals and informed each other of exciting finds. Our guide Johan was terrific and we even managed to see the wild dogs which was a real treat in addition to several sightings of the lions. We found the watering hole with it's viewing point superb and were able to sit watching Elephants swimming, giraffes drinking and anhinga fishing. The staff were all extremely helpful and pleasant. We could not have wished for a better start to our safari holiday, and would certainly recommend this camp and Madijwe to anyone."

"Muchenje Safari Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 5 Nov 2010
"We thoroughly enjoyed Muchenje which provided a different environment to Jaci's and our room had magnificent views over The Chobe river.The multitude of Hippos both on land and in the water were spectacular.We also managed to see large numbers of giraffe zebra and elephants and the lovely little Warthogs. We saw lions twice but had to leave them too quickly because the park closed at 19.00 hrs. We feel that it should remain open for a further hour like camps in SA. We felt the food left room for improvement."

"Zambezi Sun review"

2 nights Arrived 10 Nov 2010
"We enjoyed our stay at the Zambesi Sun. We chose it instead of The Royal Livingstone because we thought it would be more fun and so it proved to be. We enjoyed sitting by the pool listening to the african band.Unfortunately the evening buffet was expensive and very poor quality."
