Every camp and lodge we include in our packages has been personally visited by our reservations team. We assess it on five criteria: the quality of food, the comfort of the accommodation, the professionalism and warmth of the staff, the wildlife access from the property, and the overall value for money at its price point. If a property scores poorly on any single criterion, it leaves our recommended list until it improves.

We give honest advice. If you tell us your budget and we think a camp at a lower price point will deliver a better actual experience than the one you've asked for, we will tell you — because our relationship is with you, not with any lodge operator's commission structure.
