10/10 Excellent
"We had an idyllic getaway at the tent camp. Firstly, the tents are really stunning. The bed is extra wide and comfortable. The outside shower is awesome first thing in the morning. The tent was very clean, and easy to use. The camp is very quiet, and the night sky is spectacular. The attention by both the staff and ranger was also great. The chef was first class, and the food lacked nothing. It was maybe a little too much. The Saturday evening braai was a highlight, and breakfast robust. The staff went out of their way to treat us on the Sunday, and arranged a picnic by the dam. The game drives are great and the vehicle was comfortable. We had sunset drinks and snacks, and the blankets helped when it got cold. Frank the Rhino likes to hang around the camp, and there is also a couple of porcupines onsite."

Babohi at Qwabi Private Game Reserve by NEWMARK

10/10 Excellent
"Our family group of five (across three rooms) had an exceptional stay at Babohi at Qwabi. The safari experience exceeded every expectation, giving us close encounters with many animals. We enjoyed a sundowner with Rhinos walking around us, and woke up to Lions roaring in the early morning, moments we'll never forget. We also spotted Elephants, Hippos, and Giraffes throughout our stay. The rooms were beautiful, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, offering the perfect retreat after a day out in the bush. The food was consistently delicious and of high quality, with every meal feeling like a special occasion. What really made this trip stand out was the staff. Joe made our game drives informative and exciting, and the front desk, restaurant, and housekeeping teams were all impeccable, warm, attentive, and professional throughout our stay. We'd happily return and recommend Babohi at Qwabi to anyone looking for an authentic, high-quality safari experience."
