aha Thakadu River Camp

Es ist unfassbar schön, was man auf den Safaris zu sehen bekommt. Bei diesem Aufenthalt stand für uns nicht das Hotel im Vordergrund sondern die Tiere und die Natur. Nichtsdestotrotz ist auch das Hotel absolut empfehlenswert. Die Zelte sind total geräumig und komfortabel eingerichtet. Der Pool mit seinem Ausblick ist spektakulär und man kann auch von dort aus häufig Tiere beobachten. Lediglich eine Dame im Service war extrem unfreundlich, aber sonst waren alle sehr nett und bemüht.

A comida é excelente e farta (7 refeições por dia), o tempero é forte mas nós adoramos. Não comemos carne e frango, o chef fez vários tipos diferentea de peixe especialmente para nós. Todos excelentes. O safari foi incrivel, conseguimos ver os big 5 e muito mais. Os carros chegavam a poucos metros dos animais. o guia é excelente. Da piscina do hotel é possível ver elefantes de vez em quando. Os quarto é uma "cabana premium", que achamos muito bom. O sentimento é de estar dormindo na floresta. Os funcionários são atenciosos e educados. Enfim, recomendaremos o hotel!

This place is amazing. We travelled as a family of four (2 adults, 7yr old and 4.5yr old) and we all LOVED it.

We had a wonderful time and excellent safaris. The reserve is large and has big heards of animals. Only thing to ameliorate: Toast for breakfast should be brought earlier.

We booked through Hotels.com appr. 2 months in advance on the 3rd May 2017 and paid in advance, the money cleared the credit card on the 5th May 2017. We completed the 4.5 hours drive to the camp on the 01st July 2017. On arrivalaha Thakadu River Camp which is a luxury tented camp. On arrival we were told by the general manager that they had no knowledge of our booking. I then requested that they move us to a similar quality lodge but they said that there were no places available. They then booked us in to one of their own other lodges, Madikwe River Lodge a 3 star family friendly lodge, this was not what I had booked and paid for. It was also another 1 hour drive away. I have now waited a week for someone to contact me to apologise and let me know what they plan on doing about this however nobody from Hotels.com or the AHA group who owns the hotel has contacted me. I will now be lodging a dispute with Visa as I never received the services which I have paid for and will be requesting a refund.

Gemütliches kleines guesthouse in einer Hauptstadt!

This a very well run camp. We were initially placed in a smaller tent than paid for - it was quickly rectified and all our scattered belongings moved for us. Other minor issues, like more coffee in the room, were dealt with pleasantly and immediately. The rangers coordinate with each other with courtesy and adherence to strict rules limiting vehicles at a sighting to give guests the best possible experience. A few negatives: The rangers are permitted to go anywhere - on one occasion I felt this was abused and a lion with a kill remained on a green island in the midst of churned up muddy bush. The range from the camp is limited - with hindsight I would move between camps spending a max of 3 days per camp. Our vehicles were often full - anyone in the middle seat was disadvantaged. Finally a suggestion - reciprocity with other camps to allow a greater range could benefit everyone.

Midden in Madikwe een mooi hotel met goed restaurant. Vanaf terras diverse dieren als olifanten, zebra's etc te zien. Goed personeel . De weg ernaar toe is wel avontuurlijk maar te doen.

I found it very difficult to get info in advance of our stay regarding the schedule, which was: 5am tea, 5:30-9 drive (with coffee and cake), 9 cold and hot breakfast, multi course lunch, 3:30 coffee/cake, 4-7ish drive with alcoholic drink, multi course dinner. Drinks available at the pool. The last 4km drive there is on a very bad rocky road so a 4x4 would allow an easier drive in. Kids 6 years and up can go on drives, younger ones can get in room babysitting by a local lady and/or go on a short drive after breakfast. We saw lots of animals on the drive and was a unique experience overall.

The most amazing place in the wilderness. Definitely coming back for a longer stay.
