"Our trip was absolutely brilliant.
Everywhere we went there was someone waiting to collect us and carry our bags to our next destination. It was extremely well-organised with a good blend of different activities / game / environments.
Thank you Lucy for putting it all together for us, we can't thank you enough! We will be back I am sure!

Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp
"Nxabega Safari Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
8 Dec 2010
"This is a camp set in a stunning location, with a lovely pool and viewing deck.
Sadly the game drives were a bit disappointing, but our guides did make a big effort to ensure that we saw as much as possible. The mokoro trip on the other hand was fantastic (shame it couldn't be a bit longer), and we went on the boat cruise twice because we enjoyed it so much.
Food was brilliant, and we especially enjoyed the candlelit bush dinner, which had taken a lot of effort to prepare."

Savute Safari Lodge
"Savute Safari Lodge review"

Arrived
11 Dec 2010
"We had an excellent guide (Gwist), who found us wild dogs and a cheetah!
It was a real treat to be able to watch so many elephant drinking at the watering hole from our deck, and we enjoyed this very much.
We found the facilities were not as good as at the other camps. The buffet food was fine but not brilliant, which was a shame as the staff were very enthusiastic."

Ilala Lodge
"Ilala Lodge review"
1 night
Arrived
13 Dec 2010
"This was an excellent luxury lodge, which felt somewhat out of place in its surroundings.
The food was very good indeed, and we especially enjoyed the breakfast, with every possible option under the sun in a lovely setting.
The room was clean and comfortable. Its proximity to the Falls (you can walk in 10 minutes) makes it well-placed too. Service was excellent.
The bridge tour through the travel agent was fantastic, and we can't recommend it enough."

The hospitality was wonderful, from the cold water bottles offered before drives, to the cold towels given to us when we arrived back. The food was excellent, including kudu steak and other local specialities.
Our guide (Gee) and our tracker (Steve) worked extremely well as a team, and made a huge effort to make sure that everything was explained in great detail. We saw 3 different leopards in 3 days!
Their enthusiasm was contagious, and we thoroughly enjoyed their company!"
