Wilderness Safaris Camps Rated Tops by Leading Travel Publications: Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure Highlight Numerous Camps
January 2010 - Wilderness Safaris is thrilled to announce that a number of its camps featured prominently in Condé Nast Traveler's 16th annual Gold List and Travel + Leisure's "T+L 500 World's Best Hotels."
Jao, Mombo and Little Mombo, Vumbura Plains, Xigera and Savuti Camps all made Condé Nast's Gold List, which is considered to be "the ultimate annotated guide to the world's finest properties and cruise lines," as elected by more than 25 000 Condé Nast Traveler readers.
Jao Camp and Mombo/Little Mombo featured as two of the three places in the category 'Best by Location for Africa' (both receiving perfect scores of 100), as well as in 'Best Activities in Africa,' with scores of 98.4 and 96.4 respectively. Vumbura Plains was one of three Best by Design in Africa (with a score of 97.3).
Mombo and Little Mombo were proclaimed as "Africa at its finest," with a perfect-scoring location "so exquisite, a movie set couldn't replicate it." Jao also received outstanding reviews: "This is one of those special places that stay in your mind forever; a perfect-scoring location on an island with lagoons, grasslands, and floodplains; a mixture of fantasy and functionality; with canvas-and-thatch tents that fit the environment."
Travel + Leisure's World's Best Hotels lists the top 500 properties in the world, which are voted for by its readers. In the 2010 World's Best, Botswana camps Mombo and Little Mombo garnered a score of 90.42, while DumaTau Camp was awarded 83.93. The River Club was one of four Zambia properties that made the list, with a score of 87.22 and a recommendation to "spend an afternoon sipping Pimm's Cups and playing croquet on the inn's course!"
Wilderness Safaris is pleased to be recognised on such prestigious lists, particularly as they are based on reader votes and thus on the personal experience of discerning travellers.
