Koro River Camp

Nothing we can write will do justice to this incredible place. Stayed here for five nights, nowhere near long enough. The tent was private, clean, well equipped and had fabulous outdoor space with amazing views. The food was plentiful and delicious, the communal spaces kept immaculate by hard working staff. The highlight was obviously the game drives, especially the morning one, starting with coffee and a muffin before setting off, coffee and biscuit half way through and then back to camp for "breakfast number three!" Oh, and did I mention that we saw some wildlife as well? Saw a leopard every day (so rare on other safaris) lots of elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest etc etc and so many birds of different species that I lost count. This is truly a paradise for bird watchers. And finally, the staff. Managers Alida and Bets going above and beyond for us, our guides, West and Solomon, spotting wildlife that we only dreamed of seeing, and the cheerful, friendly staff in camp for the giggles and fun. The foundation is doing incredible work for the wildlife, local people and the environment, and deserve every success. Visit Koro. You won't regret it.

We have visited several countries in Africa and seen a lot, but found this a truly unique place. During our trip in South-Arica we passed the border to Botswana (very easy and swift process) for a few days at this wonderful lodge set in indescribably beautiful nature. We had the chance to stay in the family tent - consisting of a tent for the parents, a tent for our children (9 and 12 years old), a tent with bathroom and in addition an outdoor shower, with a pool and terrace overlooking the beautiful river. The interior of the tents was very tasteful. We intensely enjoyed the warmth of everyone working at the lodge, the personal attention, particularly to our children, the beautiful nature and the excellent food which we enjoyed overlooking the river. The guides Casablanca and Mandla took us through the area and showed us the most beautiful places. They were very sweet and caring and came up with fun activities that they did with the children in between game drives so that we could relax further. The children experienced their stay at this lodge as one of the highlights of the trip so far. After leaving, it was hard to get used to the lodge next on the itinerary. We would love to come back again and then plan the Koro River Lodge at the end of our trip to fully relax in this beautiful setting.

This is the best lodge we’ve ever been! The people of the lodge really go the extra mile to make your stay memorable, e.g. we got a special cake for our wedding anniversary and they sang for us. The tents are really spacious with a wooden floor, electricity and nice furniture. Bathroom and outside shower separate on your own platform near the beautiful Limpopo river. Game drives are superb. Walking safaris are an option. Wild animals roam freely around your tent at night so I was scared the first night, but I got used to it the second night.
