Amazing for a first time safari
My family stayed at Karongwe River Lodge in June. It is almost a guarantee that you will see the Big 5. 9000 hectacres was quite a large area and it is my understanding they expect to double in size in the next two years. The food was really tasty. Lunch and Dinner had 3 courses and the portions were abundant. The staff was helpful and great, but not overly polished (which we liked).
My wife is quite the birder, Karongwe did not seem to have a large number. It is possible that we weren't there at the best time. The focus on the safari guides is the Big 5 and you have to specifically ask to focus on other animals.
