    There was no safety railing just a seat to prevent a fall off our cabin deck looking over the river.

    Location by the river on high walkways with incredible views. Fantastik meals. Helpful guides.

    - Beautiful location along the river, with animal on the banks - Top notch rooms / tents with comfortable beds, outdoor shower, all in wonderful classy safari design (not over the top) - Meals were tasty, well presented and dinner quite varied - Guided drives were high, high quality with Cyril, our guide making every drive a special experience. High knowledge levels shared well, good driving, and added in some short walks from the vehicle to see more - Highly personal welcome and service levels All really 10/10, some of the best safari experiences

    Tents were extremely hot. Only a fan in the tents. I would suggest alternative cooling technology in the tents compatible with solar energy.

    The location of Pafuri camp is exceptional. The birdlife is incredible and the knowledge of the guides of the birds were great. Our guide accomodated our preferences regarding birding, we had a great time.

    Breakfast was superb with more than sufficient choices (eggs cooked exactly as requested). The setting of the camp on the river is absolutely beautiful. As a keen birder, this place has no equal. Guides are very knowledgeable, yet humble and professional in everything they do.
