Koro River Camp

The best place on earth!! Hospitable and super friendly staff. Well organized and maintained camp. Very good, friendly and safe guides during the tours. We have seen all, lions, leopards, elephants, crocodile, hyenas and more and more. Good food and surprises. And finally, we have planted a tree.

I can't say enough about my experience at Koro River Camp. Gorgeous accommodations and wonderful staff! The tents are pure luxury with your own private plunge pool overlooking the Limpopo River. The food was outstanding for every meal. The game drives were the highlight for me since the Tuli block is truly still very wild, so the animals are still curious about the vehicles that are driving past them. We saw lions that looked and acted like they had never even seen a vehicle before. I am definitely going to try and make this trip every year because I had such an amazing time!

I had a lovely stay at Koro River camp. The tents were so tastefully decorated and had stunning views of the Limpopo river. The beds were very comfortable. The staff were polite and friendly. Excellent service! The food was delightful. We got to see a variety of animals on the game drives. I would certainly want to stay at this place again in the future.

We had an amazing tome at Koro River Camp. It was a long drive from Johannesburg but Botswana has lots to offer and is well worth it! The game drives and rangers were amazing and very professional. We spotted several species of game including wild dogs. Staff at the camp were so so nice and friendly. The camp has 7 or 8 tents and is really quite and private. Constructive advice would be they really need to aircon the tents as Botswana very very hot in February. Still a 5 star experience and worth the heat and travel

Koro's land is great. There are some areas in the middle which are a bit dull (lots of mopane bush) but they have many gorgeous kopies and the stretch of land along the Limpopo River is truly exceptional. I also loved my tent: It was very nicely appointed, of generous proportions, and had lots of privacy. I greatly enjoyed sitting on my deck, looking at the river, reading a good book, and observing the diverse bird life. I also thought the rest of the lodge was quite stylish. Staff was very friendly and, on some of the days, I had my own guide and tracker who went on bush walks with me, which I really appreciated. So why am I not giving it a higher score? Mainly because service was just lacking in the little things. For example: They told me that I should not drink the tap water, so I asked that some drinking water just be placed in my room (something pretty much all lodges do). I kept asking, but it never happend. The first couple of days they asked me what drink I would like for my sundowners, then they stopped and just brought me some canned "juice" I didn't like. There were no tissues anywhere in the lodge. When I asked for some at dinner, I was given a role of toilet paper at the dinner table. An other example was that there was a "gift shop" in the lobby, but many item's were just randomly thrown on the shelves, looking for like an almost-empty storage room. Not very welcoming. The food was consistently mediocre, sometimes worse. I especially found the snacks provided early in the morning and on drives/walks quite disappointing - mostly rusks from the supermarket, a lot of peanuts and potato crisps. Once there were some cashew nuts, which I appreciated. Finally, compared to most other bush regions I have travelled to, I saw relatively little wildlife. Once we tracked a leopard on foot, which I cherished. We also saw elephant on various occasions. Other highlights were a couple of civets, bat-eared foxes, and one porcupine. Beyond that, it was only antelope, zebra, giraffe, hyena over a period of 7 days.

We spent three days in Koro River Camp and our experience was excellent. The tents are very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff was very attentive to our needs and our guides very knowledgeable. The food was also great. We could not have hoped for more.
