يتةسل ية

De service van het personeel in combinatie met de locatie in dit park waren ongelooflijk.
Al veel plaatsen in de wereld bezocht maar deze komt hoog in de top 3.
Het eten was erg goed, en speciaal.
Het concept van de eigenaren , duurzaam en veel oog voor de omgeving maakten dit tot een niet te vergeten ervaring.

Wonderful place in middle of a game park

All I can say is WOW. What an incredible experience is to go to Mkomazi, and let alone stay in Mkomazi Wilderness Retreat under the care of Janush & Savannah and the rest of the staff. My sister, Sabrina, and I wanted a unique experience for Christmas Eve and Christmas as we had just finished climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. The first thing that stood out to me even before the arrival was the excellent care in the communication. The careful planning and suggestions to make our experience one of a kind were incredibly appreciated and made my sister and I even more excited to get to Mkomazi and experience its magic. The moment we arrived you could feel any worldly stresses leaving your mind and body as we were warmly received by the managers of the camp, Janush and Savannah, and 2 delicious welcome juice drink. The location, views, design and tactful detail of the retreat are obvious upon entry, and worth every penny to stay here. You could tell this place is a labor of love and that made our stay all that more meaningful. At sunset, there is an incredible viewpoint from which you can enjoy a snack. We got to see Mt. Kilimanjaro's peak which we had summited 24 hours earlier from there! This made our day. And truly felt otherworldly. Next, the FOOD. Every meal was so good. And they took careful consideration to my sister's and I dietary requirements (I have life threatening allergies) and this was not a problem. For Christmas Eve we experienced the bush lunch, and this was one of my favorite parts. The entire team prepared a beautiful lunch, with details and meals in a spot that could only be described as breathtaking...I am really intentional about the word usage in this review because it deserves every ounce of noteriety and praise. It is very clear the staff is congruent, and everyone attends to your needs constantly checking in to see if you're OK. Our drive and safari guide, Max, is super knowledgeable about the nature and animals of Mkomazi. As a scientist and a soon-to-be veterinarian (my sister), we really enjoyed how detailed he was when explaining the background of each animal, its behaviors and other fun facts we didn't know about and that were unique to Mkomazi and its "special 5." I could keep going on and on about this place but my review likely would be a novel. Stay here if you have the chance. Mkomazi has a uniqueness that you won't find other places. Thank you so much to everyone at Mkomazi for making us feel so incredibly welcomed! Christmas felt more homey even miles away from home thanks to you all.

Sending all the love,
Ana & Sabrina

It was very apparent that the camp itself has been put together from a wealth of experience & care.

It was expertly designed; from the viewpoints, to the mess area and the tent itself. Coming from the industry myself, I couldn’t help but take notes and wonder where many of the ideas had come from. It was a great source of inspiration for my own projects - and the same goes for the service.

Managers Savannah & Janush were a match made in heaven! On entering the camp, we were greeted by both with refreshments in hand and were given a brief tour of the camp. From this point on, we were wrapped in their warm blanket of care, accompanied by top quality service. The wider team were an extension of their leadership, which all contributed to an exceptional experience, where our every need was attended to - often before we ourselves, knew what it was we wanted.

The camp was located high up on a viewpoint which offered breathtaking views of the dramatic Mkomazi landscape; fit with mountains, flatlands and the dam, which attracted various herds of buffalo, giraffe & elephants to name a few - all taking it in turns for their time to drink, wash and play in the water. It meant that you could almost be forgiven for choosing to stay put in the camp with a pair of binoculars and let all the life come to you! We of course chose to jump in the 4x4 most days and throw ourselves deep in the action, and were fortunate enough to witness many special moments as a result.

A truly remarkable experience - thanks so much for all your efforts!
