"We enjoyed our stay @ Safari Plains. Arriving we were received by such friendly faces. The Luxury Tented Chalet we stayed in were overlooking the field where the game came to graze. We enjoyed the morning & afternoon game drives with the well informed guide, Ben. On our first night we had an open air dinner prepared by the chef and staff, it was amazing! We most definately recommend a stay at this 5 star lodge it will be an experience you'll never forget. ALL the staff made our stay fantastic. "

Kwafubesi Tented Safari Camp

Kwafubesi Tented Safari Camp

10/10 Excellent
"We had an idyllic getaway at the tent camp. Firstly, the tents are really stunning. The bed is extra wide and comfortable. The outside shower is awesome first thing in the morning. The tent was very clean, and easy to use. The camp is very quiet, and the night sky is spectacular. The attention by both the staff and ranger was also great. The chef was first class, and the food lacked nothing. It was maybe a little too much. The Saturday evening braai was a highlight, and breakfast robust. The staff went out of their way to treat us on the Sunday, and arranged a picnic by the dam. The game drives are great and the vehicle was comfortable. We had sunset drinks and snacks, and the blankets helped when it got cold. Frank the Rhino likes to hang around the camp, and there is also a couple of porcupines onsite."
