点评:We booked in advance due to the popularity, and it was easy to see why. Oris and Promise’s knowledge of the bushveld and birds was excellent, and both of them made an effort to socialise with the guests.
However, several issues detracted from the overall experience. Oris and Promise were late for both morning and afternoon walks, leaving guests waiting at the prearranged departure times. On game drives, Oris’s consistently high speed made the experience uncomfortable and detracted from what should have been a relaxing opportunity to view wildlife. At dinner, he would often arrive in his sleeping attire and even take personal phone calls at the table when guests were trying to engage in conversation.
The boma fire — usually a highlight of bush experiences — was never lit. Instead, a small fire was made outside the kitchen, leaving us gathered around a makeshift setup with little atmosphere. Around camp, brooms, mops, and spades were left lying about, which gave an impression of poor organisation.
Maintenance issues also stood out. There was no hot water in most bathrooms, and on our last day, we ran out of gas completely as all three cylinders were empty. Unfortunately, the hot water issue has been mentioned in reviews over a year ago, yet it still remains unresolved. Towels and linen are also due for an upgrade.
With better supervision, improved organisation, and more attention to detail, this camp could easily deliver an excellent experience to match the guides’ impressive bush knowledge.
翻译:由于人气旺,我们提前预订了,原因显而易见。Oris 和 Promise 对丛林和鸟类的了解非常丰富,而且他们俩都努力与客人交流。
然而,一些问题影响了整体体验。Oris 和 Promise 早上和下午的散步都迟到了,导致客人在预定的出发时间等待。在狩猎活动中,Oris 持续的高速行驶让体验变得不舒服,也破坏了原本应该轻松的野生动物观赏机会。晚餐时,他经常穿着睡衣出现,甚至在客人试图交谈时在餐桌上接听私人电话。
博玛篝火——通常是丛林体验的亮点——从未点燃。取而代之的是厨房外的一小堆火,我们聚集在一个临时搭建的篝火旁,气氛非常低落。营地周围散落着扫帚、拖把和铁锹,给人一种混乱的感觉。
维护问题也十分突出。大多数浴室都没有热水,最后一天,我们三个气瓶都空了,煤气也完全用完了。遗憾的是,热水问题一年多前的评论里就提到过,但至今仍未解决。毛巾和床单也需要升级。
如果管理得当、组织得当、细节得当,这个营地就能轻松带来绝佳体验,与导游们令人印象深刻的丛林知识相媲美。
