Came to Oliver's as the first stop on safari having climbed Kilimanjaro. Fantastic camp - amazing wildlife and exemplary hospitality and amenities. The walking safari a definite highlight of the trip. Will definitely recommend to others. Thanks!"

It is a luxurious tented camp with a swimming pool. The view from the lounge is stunning. Tents have wooden flooring with a deck to relax, and running water in the taps. What a blessing!"

The retreat itself is stunning. So much so that all our plans to get out and about to see the island were quickly forgotten in favour of lazing around our private 2 storey villa and being waited on hand and foot by our wonderful butler Iddi. Iddi was the ultimate professional but at the same time became a friend by the end of the holiday."

I am so glad we went with Matemwe. Barefoot luxury does not begin to describe it - (I didn't wear shoes the whole stay). We were in 1 of 12 private bungalows on the water’s edge. From our arrival we were greeted with a welcome drink served in a coconut (this just set the tone for our island holiday) to our departure (yes tears did flow) we were made to feel welcome and comfortable."

I recently took my 94 year old mother on a safari, (her idea), and had been thrilled with the camps we visited in Tanzania, didn't think they could be topped. But Naboisho Camp proved me wrong. The education about the conservancy was so interesting. The animals were visible (and audible) from our tent. And then there were Daniel and Radika, our guides, who were so helpful and fun. Just can't say enough about what a wonderful place this was!"

Having been on many safaris previously, with various levels of lodging, I must say that Dunia strikes exactly the right balance between safari luxury and style, while remaining true to outdoor ambience."

Words cannot express how spectacular it was to stay in their luxury tented camp with such a friendly, attentive staff. Nothing was more magnificent than hearing the lions, hyenas and zebras at night, knowing that we were very safe and secure. Also amazing was that the chef prepared wonderful meals in spite of having his kitchen in a tent!"

The staff are so helpful and always greet you with a smile. Nathan, our guide, was very experienced (and great fun!) and we were lucky enough to see two wildebeest crossings during our three day safari."

“Gorongosa National Park is Mozambique’s greatest wonder — Africa in miniature, with an ecosystem that looks like the divine prototype.

Sayari Camp was by far our favorite. The "tents" were nicer than most hotel rooms. (…) It was great on our afternoon breaks from being in the jeep to just sit out on the "patio" of the tent and watch the animals. Clare, John and Eric went out of their way to make you feel at home. And, on top of everything else, the food was excellent. We can't recommend this camp enough."
