"Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt auf dem Hausboot. Es war fantastisch und hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Leider hatten wir kein Abendessen vorher gebucht und mussten auswärts essen. Frühstück wurde frisch zubereitet."

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Outstanding Staff
We recently completed a 4-day, 3-night stay at Entumoto Safari Camp, and it was truly a wonderful experience. From the very start, the hospitality was seamless—the team was right there waiting for us at the airstrip as soon as we arrived.
A massive shout-out to our guide, Purity, and our spotter, Amos. They were exceptional at tracking game and sharing their knowledge, but more than that, their warmth and hospitality made them feel like...

We originally booked at another hotel and stuck it out for two days until enough was enough. Constance Prince Maurice was a breath of fresh air and just the kind of pampering vacation we were hoping for when we booked a trip to Mauritius. The staff and service was impeccable, the facilities and beach were pristine and luscious, the restaurants all had great options and there were the basics (that were already 5 star) and then the supplemental events (like our dinner with a menu by a visiting...

What a beautiful experience this was. I was blown away with the hospitality and service this lodge provided. The staff are incredible and make you feel at home. They go above and beyond. Tintswalo, Erasmus, Faith, Collins and Nicco were a few to mention. The game drives were sensational . This will remain a core memory for years to come. Can’t wait to visit again.

We stayed at 4 different lodges in the Madikwe and Pilanesberg parks. This was by far the best lodge, with the best views, the best safari guides, excellent food, wine, spa, and overall lodge comfort.
We will definitely be back.
If you can, ask for Mike Rae to by your safari guide. You will not be disappointed..

Our stay at the Le Meridien was great. We were able to walk straight to the hotel through the airport. Food was amazing and we spent the day lounging at the pool. We picked up nice souvenirs from the gift shop and were relaxed for our flight home the next day.

I can not say enough about the Constance Lemuria- it was a beautiful resort with lots of shade and plenty of chairs on the beach. While we were there it was filled to capacity and we didn't feel over crowded in the least. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of. They were friendly and really seemed to be interested in the people they were taking care of. We ate at the restaurants on sight and they did not disappoint - the morning buffet was plentiful and all...

The Vineyard is blessed with a magnificent setting at the base of Table Mountain in the suburbs of Capetown. The hotel is well preserved. The staff are very welcoming and add their personal charm to the experience. I highly recommend a stay in this beautiful location, just 12 minutes from the center of downtown.
