“Awesome place!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2013

This clearly is Africa and although there were some problems during our stay at Cresta Mowana I have forgotten it all because the service was absolutely excellent! The staff was friendly and wanted to help. They were thinking ahead trying to anticipate our needs.

“Beautiful property with expensive food and indifferent staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2013

We stayed at Cresta Mowana as part of a one-night safari package from Zambia, and overall, we had a positive stay. The property itself is beautifully situated along the Chobe River, and the rooms are nicely decorated. I really liked the view of the river from our room's balcony. There is also a nice pool with lots of deck chairs... More

“A most amazing place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2013

The location of this camp is stupendous. The location of the individual 'tents' is discrete amongst the strange rock formations. Each 'tent' is a small palace with a balcony overlooking the landscape and all mod cons. The staff are professional and friendly and the food is excellent. Sundowners taken on a rock are the start of a wonderful evening, then... More
