Tilodi Safari Lodge

We camped here for five days and were the only guests. The bathrooms were immaculate and everything was super clean. Bruno is a very cool dog, too. James, the owner, helped us with a mechanic, a shuttle to Vic falls and restaurants nearby. The service was really amazing. I recommend this camp 100%.

My friend had the worst experience here. The stay was below standard and the advertising was false: James sent pictures of a room that looked nothing like the one they found. He wouldn't refund them, not even the money for activities, although they were willing to let him keep the accommodation money. If you want to enjoy your holiday, stay away.

James was a friendly host, and through him we went on a Chobe game drive, a sunset boat ride on the Chobe and a visit to Vic Fall. We stayed in our Bush Lapa in the camping area. The ablutions were neat and clean, and the site was close enough to Kasane without being too close. At night, lions roar loudly enough to wake you, and you can hear jackals and hyenas too. A gem.

We booked at the last minute for Christmas and the host was friendly, with a great tip for Hunter’s Road. I gave three stars for that, as service elsewhere in Botswana tends to be poor. The lodge itself was very run down and clearly not maintained. The basic room was sold as luxury, though it wasn't. Next door, a party went on until 5am, and the noise was distressing the elephants.
