10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is an amazing hidden gem! The name "tents" underdescribes the facilities: these are beautiful cabins that would put some hotels to shame. And the cabins have private showers and bathrooms. The facility also has a very small pool. Sandi, the owner, is caring, the food is very good, and the tours in the Park with the Park rangers are informative and a great experience. I saw a lot of animals, including elefants, monkeys, antilopes and crocodiles, but I understand that I was lucky and it depends on the season. The Park is huge and outside of the dry season the animals hide more. Getting there takes some time due to the condition of the main streets. But there is major road construction and within a year it probably should be much faster to get there.

Außergewöhnliches Safari Camp

Das Safari Camp lässt keine Wünsche offen. Eine komplett durchdachte, sehr saubere, komfortable und schöne Anlage mit schönem Aufenthaltsbereich. Das Frühstück und Essen ist hervorragend. Die Lodge wird hervorragend geführt mit großer Akzeptanz zu den Einheimischen Angestellten. Die von Jonathan, einer der Angestellten, geführte Tour durch sein Dorf werden wir nicht vergessen. Nur Klasse lieber Jonathan. Vielen lieben Dank an die Eigentümer und die top hilfsbereiten Angestellten das wir drei Nächte eure Gäste sein durften. Unvergessliche Zeit.
