Mr O. Evans, Nairobi, Kenya - November 2008
“Absolutely unforgettable experience. The remoteness of the camp, the game viewing, the people and the hospitality - everything was well beyond expectations - no idea how you do it Rod & Guz but long may you continue to conjure up the magic.”
Mr & Mrs E. Butler, UK - October 2008
“Thank you for the most wonderful time at Kutandala, the whole experience was magical. I loved the natural setting where there is no intrusion and he elephants come and go, without disturbance. Then there were the safaris guided by Rod. His love of the wilderness is immediately obvious. His understanding of the animals and their behaviours and his vast knowledge of the birds is amazing and made for a thrilling and exciting experience. Then there is Maelisa's cuisine. It is truly unbelievable that she can produce such gourmet meals day after day. All of her meals are a feast first for the eye and then the palate. Kutandala and it's wonderful staff will always have a special place in my heart.”
Ms M. Walsh, Canada - October 2008
“For a start it is exclusive - 6 guests only. Secondly the food is quite outstanding, particularly as it is produced in a bush kitchen. The best safari camp I have ever encountered. Rod is amazing - we could not have had a more marvellous introduction to Kutandala and it's wildlife.”
Mr & Mrs I. Davison, UK - October 2008

Mr & Mrs G Kleisterlee - Amsterdam, The Netherlands, July 2007
“Words can not really express how special this place is - magnificent setting, perfect accommodations that make one feel connected to this beautiful place (and often quite close to the animals) Guz's food that would be viewed as 4-star in NY, and just amazes (over and over again) as it comes out of the “kitchen“ from morning to night, and Rod's “encyclopaedic“
guiding. But most of all it's Rod and Guz's exceptional hospitality - you guys are the perfect hosts. It is hard too leave and we are looking forward to our return in 2009! ”
