One of the best vacations ever. The team at Kambaku exceeded my expectations. Hotel Location - The room is breathtaking as its right in the middle of the jungle with animals walking all around. We felt super safe but the very fact that elephants were romping outside the rooms was great Food - Amazing food service. My wife does not eat red meat and they accommodated the requested very well by preparing a separate meal for her every day Staff - By far the best staff ever. They were very responsive and cared for the guest. The safari team is very seasoned and knows how to deal with animals and keep guests safe. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodrigo 22 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Sensacional o lugar e o atendimento. ##### Rodrigo Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hippo Hollow Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Hippo-Hollow-Country-Estate.h2417701.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Oasis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Hotel-Oasis.h28284.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in North London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-London-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d6196832-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [B&B Royal Leamington Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Leamington-Spa-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d180826-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Kapama River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Kapama-River-Lodge.h14581808.Hotel-Information) > > [Covent Garden Hotel, Firmdale Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Covent-Garden-Hotel.h525494.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreams Onyx Resort & Spa All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Dreams-Onyx-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h14822885.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Student Murano - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Murano.h12921745.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Hotels in West Midlands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-West-Midlands-Lakeside-Hotel.0-0-d6046267-tlakesidehotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotel Indigo London Hyde Park Paddington by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-London-Hyde-Park-Paddington.h1144039.Hotel-Information) > > [Mauricia Beachcomber Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grand-Baie-Hotels-Mauricia-Beachcomber-Resort-Spa.h5083061.Hotel-Information) > > [Imbali Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Imbali-Safari-Lodge.h1964193.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels.d178279.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Wookey Hole Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-Wookey-Hole-Hotel.h4108609.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Victoria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Victoria-London-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n800051-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mill on the Exe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Mill-On-The-Exe.h18417577.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ludhiana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ludhiana-Hotels.d2158.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Brownsea Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brownsea-Island-Hotels.d6092127.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Emirates](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Emirates-Flights.cEK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Liznjan (PUY) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/puy/lhr/pula-to-london) > > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Saskatoon (YXE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/yxe/dublin-to-saskatoon) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Eindhoven (EIN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/ein/london-to-eindhoven) > > [Flights from Munich (MUC) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/muc/man/munich-to-manchester) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Budapest (BUD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/bud/london-to-budapest) ### Cars > [Car hire in Chelsea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Chelsea.d6054502.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Doha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Doha.d1048.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Dubai Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai.d1079.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Lungern Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lungern.d6034383.Holidays-City-Breaks)
