Verblijf dat je niet mag missen!

Pros: Agnes is an amazing woman. She's ona of a kind. We have had an amazing experience during our stay.. were welcomed most hospital by Gotchi. Diner was excellent and exact what we needed with fresh homemade food. We did a game reserve with Elias which was more than special. We actually wouldn't leave this place. Thanks for making our stay so special I cheers to you Agnes and staff and hope one Day we May Come back, perhaps just to see the leopard😉😘

Cons: Only the fact that not all animals passed our room 😂

Cons: Not an area for those who want to go on walks...

Pros: It was totally beautiful in its entirety, so peaceful and watching the Elephant community was just amazing. Agnes who runs this beautiful Lodge couldn't do enough for us. The accommodation was so spacious and clean. We can't wait to return.

Cons: Nothing at all

A bit run down, but with amazing view and a really sympathetic host

Pros: The amazing view over the river and a lot of wildlife on the property such as baboons, impala’s, vervet monkeys. The host Agnes made us feel really welcome. We also very much liked the game drive with Gert, who really knows his job!

Cons: The property is a bit worn out and could do with an upgrade, renewing cushions on the seats and loungers by the pool… is an improvement one could make without great costs. No possibility to make coffee in the room. Pretty basic stay, but more than good enough for a stay in the middle of the bush

Jolanta 10/10

Most impressive experience

Pros: Rio Dos Elefantes River Camp was and is beyond expectations. Everything was outstanding. Firstly, the location where you can see herds of elephants in the river or close to your accommodation, enjoy its remoteness, genuine nature and all its sounds. The drive from the main road to the camp is equal to a safari (especially if you get lost :) ). Each day we saw many different animals around. The camp also offered excellent and stylish accommodation, delicious and plentiful food. And most importantly, our gratitude to Agnes, the owner of this property. You are the spirit of Rio Dos Elefantes and your presence was much appreciated. Rio Dos Elefantes River Camp overall was the most impressive out of three areas/lodges in SA our group stayed during this 2-week trip. It was a never to forget experience in itself.
