This trip had been planned and booked since 2019, interrupted by both two years of COVID and a move from the U.S. to Australia in 2022. When we were finally on our way, I wondered if all the years of planning and waiting were going to be worth it. In fact, it was even better. I could not have dreamed of the perfection of the stay in this eco-conscious conservation camp. From the staff to the amenities, to food to our accommodations, it was all perfect. We were treated like valued guests at every moment, and because we were there during a less populated shoulder season we ended up with a private driver for every game drive. Our tent was secluded down a path with very comfortable King bed, ensuite shower with plenty of hot water and toilet. Solar panels provided electricity and USB port charging stations. Hot water bottles in the bed were such a comfy touch. I never felt any danger from roaming animals, but at night or at dusk when we went up for drinks and dinner, we were accompanied by a guard. They took security very seriously. Unfortunately, my husband was suffering from reaction to anti-malaria pills that culminated in a mad dash to a local clinic, but an Elewana employee (manager?) drove us himself and he was well taken care of. It was a scary experience at the time, but the clinic was wonderful. And the care and attention we received at the camp, prior to and following the episode only deepened our bond with the manager and staff. They were incredibly kind and genuinely concerned. I couldn't fault any aspect of this dream stay, despite the health scare, and was sorry to leave.
