AfriCamps at Kam'Bati

It was way to expensive for what you get! Place need maintenance/ tub water dirty/no firelighters or matches/ Koffie / sugar only a few in tent - Towels old and raget - Our experience of Kambati was to go as cheap as possible! only you pay the high price I will not recommend to any one

I've stayed here before when the whole venue was booked and no kids were present. We had a great time! This time, we were woken at 6:30 by the screaming of our neighbour's kids, who had also yelled and cried until 9pm the night before. Unfortunately the sound does tend to carry due to the lack of proper walls. Our next neighbours also had kids and they were a lot quieter - only started playing at 8ish, so didn't wake us up or spoil the peace of a morning coffee. As always, the actual tent was great - although the new inverters in each tent did keep the couple in that room awake due to the whirring - again, not what you want when in nature. They need to find a better spot to put the inverter than in a vented cupboard right at the foot of the bed, or else get quieter ones. It also emitted a blue light that meant we had to cover the vents of the cupboard because it lit up the room like a TV screen had been left on. The restaurant was closed on a day it was marked online as open, meaning we had to make an additional 30 min trip each way into the nearest town which we had had no intention of revisiting. This is why we marked down the location - if the nearest town is more than 15 mins drive away, either have a store where you can buy food without pre-booking it. Or at least have the restaurant open when you say it'll be open. Other than all of that, we loved the hot tub - although all the lights around it weren't working - and we had a tent right in the river reeds and we love bird watching, so sitting at dawn and dusk and watching the birds was a highlight. The swimming pools were very welcome in the heat with nice places to sit around them. We'd have enjoyed an actual demarcated and maintained little walking trail around the property but still had a nice walk up and down along the campsites by the river - about 4.5km. This spot had the usual pitfalls of Africamps - noise from neighbours' kids, being an offering attractive to families - and flappy walls when the wind picks up, but if you ignore those things it's still a nice overall experience every time, and we keep going back. The actual tents are very nicely kitted out and kept very clean. This was our 4th Africamps stay and we'll go back for sure.
