We loved the rooms, the communal tent, the campsite and all the amenities that added so much unexpected comfort. The people looking after us were warm and delightful and took such determined good care of us.

The Africa Born mobile camp‚ I could have happily spent a week there. You have created something quite remarkable‚ we could not have enjoyed it more. The food was the best we had all trip. The land cruiser was our favorite vehicle, in which we happily spent eight hours or more each day, made even better in the very fine company of Ben and Leon.
