I was in a safari tent for 3 nights. A great value! You have to ask for towels. They were not in the room. Staff were wonderful. Place was clean and the outdoor bathroom was charming.

My tent was clean and the staff were very nice.
My “amenities” included toilet paper, 4 condoms, but no bath towel! Outdoor bathroom was lovely, but the overhang did not cover the toilet, so when it rained…….

This was my second time using this place and the same disappoint came again- the horrible boat cruise experience.
The first time some years ago we were stuck in middle of a river, had to plead with a passing boat to jump in, I had an infant and my mother and wife. No apology whatsoever came.
This time around . Another of their terrible boat cruise offering jammed with us and struggled to move untill it was literally dark and the only one left,
What bothers me is that nobody apologised for all this trauma.

Want Tranquility, smartness and utmost hospitality, think Kwalape. It took two days to fix the drain from the shower in room 8, though.

The garden surrounds and leafy setting around the accommodation were lovely. The soft furnishings in the restaurant areas were tired and a bit grubby. Dinner and breakfast was uninspiring with ordinary presentation. We found a restaurant in town that served much better food. We stayed in a glamping tent, which was fine. Suggest that the tents need a mirror in the bathroom and a bedside table. Towel racks or hooks in the bathroom would have enabled towels to dry. Staff were attentive and friendly.

Stay away guys! I got terrible bed bugs in two of their tents. The first time it happened to me in Africa. The management didn’t care and didn’t offer any compensation.

Right on the main road in Kasane
Great swimming pool and nice restaurant. Lots of bird and gardens. The staff was friendly and helpful. They hooked me up with the tours. It was great except I did get lots of mosquito bites. Next time I’ll use more repellent.
You can Easily take a shared taxi for 5 pula.

Die Anlage ist eigentlich sehr schön , auch der sehr groß und sauber. Zu den Bungalows kann ich nicht cat viel sagen, da diese ausgebucht waren und wir uns mit einem Zelt begnügen mussten . Wir hatten zumindest das „Glück“ eines mit eigenem „Bad“ zu bekommen, aber das kann man sich auch ersparen , da man ins „Bad“ nur sehr umständlich kommt, das heißt , an der Rückwand des Zeltes erst zwei Reißverschlüsse öffnen, die eigentlich auch hätten offen bleiben können, da sie kaputt waren und die Moskitos sowieso freien Zugang hatten. 2 Betten und ein Ventilator im Zelt , das war’s dann auch😕. Wir sind nicht sehr anspruchsvoll und hatten auf unserer Rundreise durch Namibia und Botswana mehrere Zeltunterkünfte, die alle top waren und absolut nicht mit diesem Zelt hier vergleichbar sind. Das Frühstück ist völlig überteuert und eine Alternative sich den Kaffee selbst zu kochen, gibt es nicht. Die Ausflüge , die angeboten werden, sind aber sehr empfehlenswert und waren wirklich alle sehr, sehr schön 👍 . GANZ besonderen Dank an Noah 😍 der uns zu den Victoria falls fuhr und so viel Geduld mit uns hatte...er hat uns einen unvergesslichen Tag beschert... ganz großes Lob an ihn .

Nice area
Very nice location, with big beautiful gardens with lots of lakes and birds. The bar and the pool area are very nice and we spent a great time swimming and chilling out.
Restaurant offers a big menu and everything we tried was tasty and reasonable priced.
We slept in a fornitured tent that was spacious but too hot, even with a fan on.
The shared toilets and showers were always a bit dirty and they were definitely too old.
We had a bit of trouble at the check-in. They put us in a tent that was already occupied. Also they told us that the accommodation was not paid yet but it was (by Hotels.com). Apart from that everything was nice and the staff was polite.

スタッフの方々はいつも笑顔で親切にしてくれました。ボート、ゲームサファリが市内よりは値は張りますがそれでもとても安く内容も大満足でした！テント泊にしましたが、ファンもライトもしっかりとあり、広々でよかったです。ただ古いためかチャックがスムーズに閉まらなかったのがちょっとマイナス。

Quiet place for few days
Nice place few kilometers (5-6 km) to Nata. You need to take a taxi to go there. Shady, quiet. We stayed in a safari tent. The bedding is not very confortable and no plug inside.

We stayed in one of the safari tents and it was much more comfortable than we expected. The staff went above and beyond to help accommodate us. They found us a free tent at 6am when we arrived, helped us arrange bus tickets and were knowledgeable about any questions we had. The pool was cold but that’s what happens in winter. There were many places to relax around. It was a wonderful experience.

Luxury safari tent feeling for a good price
This was one of those (few) times when the reality exceeded my expectation. The accommodation I got from this establishment in the outskirts of Kasane was amazing. Real safari tent experience with a touch of luxury. For a nice price, compared to other more expensive lodgings in Botswana. All things I needed was inside the tent. Even a TV. The Wifi worked flawlessly and the bathroom even had a shower and a bathtub. The breakfast was good and I felt so full after every sitting. The staff was helpful and I appreciate the help from one of them who helped me get a taxi into Kasane town and checking up a village tour for me. One thing to improve was the mosquito net that has many holes.
