Unbeschreiblich!

Pros: Das beste an der Unterkunft ist, das sie eine maximale Kapazität von 10 Leuten haben, was Ihnen jedoch wieder hilft alles soo familär zu halten, wenn man sich austauscht mit Personal etc. Sie merken sich alles. Super freundlich! Das Essen war der Hammer!! bekamen ein sehr leckeres Steak und ein perfektes Curry. Die Safari Touren waren jedes mal einzigartig. Wir haben nach 2 Safarifahrten bereits die Big Five gesehen. und auch an den anderen Fahrten fanden wir viele und vor allem junge Tiere, ein beeindruckendes Erlebnis, was man einmal im Leben gemacht haben muss!

Cons: Alles perfekt

Geweldige ervaring die je gewoon moet doen

Pros: Het complete plaatje. Slapen in een tent in de bush, de game drives, de aardige mensen, het goede eten. Kortom alles was top. Voor ons de tweede keer dat we hier waren en een volgende keer komen we zeker terug.

Cons: Nvt

Een pareltje in de Bush!

Pros: Alles, het eten, de gamedrives en de lodge, heerlijk. Daniëlle, Tim en Paul hebben ontzettend hun best gedaan om het ons naar de zin te maken. We hebben genoten van ons verblijf bij KwaMbili!

Une vraie immersion en pleine savane

Pros: Cela fait plusieurs fois que je viens ici et c'est toujours aussi bien. Si vous cherchez le parfait bush camp pour vous immerger en pleine savane c'est ici qu'il faut aller. Les tentes sont jolies, propres et spacieuses. Le personnel est vraiment très agréable. On adore la bonne humeur de Jessie et Neil. Ce lodge est situé dans une des réserves les plus prolifiques en terme de faune sauvage, donc vous ne serez pas décus.

Cons: Rien, tout était parfait.

A home away from home

Pros: This was a home away from home. It’s a small camp and and because of that you get very personalized service. The tents were wonderful with air-conditioning since we came in the summer. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was huge. Overall, the tent was a very good size. The food was delicious and the game drive was exciting. In the evening from the tent, I could hear the lions roaring. We had a wonderful Boma in the evening with chicken curry. I would definitely come back here again,it was quiet and comfortable. Our guide and tracker were very knowledgeable and personable. All the staff were helpful and pleasant.
