We spent 2 nights here and had a fantastic time. Reuben and his team took incredible care of us. The tents are clean and comfortable and the food was AMAZING. The food was prepared for us in a small tent by a very talented chef. Fresh bread and cake baked for us daily over an open fire. We didn't see... More

With every passing week I am more aware of what an incredible unforgettable experience this was. (My trip was actually in 2009 but I love it more and more) To think that the camp is required to move every 5 days and they are able to set up flushable toilets, heated water, comfortable king beds with luxurious bedding and then...

I don't know what people do expect, being in the wild, so close to wildlife and nature. This is one of the best experiences you can have. Amazing, how it is possible to put such amazing food on table in these conditions. The staff is very polite and help you where ever they can. We learned so much from Pat,... More

Spent 2 nights in August 2010. The organization is good but no running water, no wildlife and always the same activities. Staff nice and friendly. More

My husband and I were recommended a 2 night stay here, we so wish we had not bothered. Being frequent users of cc Africa/& beyond lodges we had high hopes. The atmosphere from the start created by the camp manager Sam put you ill at ease. Out tent had massive holes which allowed every bug inside the tent, will no... More

We arrived at Savute with high hopes given the pictures and description from the &Beyond website and materials the description is not close to accurate - after being there you think they must be describing another place. It is dirty, dusty - where the tents are set up - ZERO privacy - tent openings all open to small comman area... More

Thank you for your review which I must say was a pretty tough one to swallow, I am so sorry it was such a let down. We so hate disappointing guests! Usually guests... More

This is a CC Africa camp. We stayed 3 nights and then the camp was being moved to another camp site. It was fantastic - all the staff were happy, smiley, friendly people. The food was amazing - how do they manage such style on a camp fire?! Tea is brought to your tent in the morning and hot water... More
