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 Oct 22, 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 > [Hotels in Canmore](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels.d10131.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Spot](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Colonial-Motel.h10255910.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Miami](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Family-Hotel.0-0-d178286-tFamilyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Sherway Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/Sherway-Gardens-Hotels.0-l6125822-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Karongwe - River Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Karongwe-River-Lodge.h6412853.Hotel-Information) > > [Kapama Southern Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Kapama-Southern-Camp.h14581851.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Yaletown](https://www.expedia.ca/Yaletown-Vancouver-Hotels.0-n6155897-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Hecla Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Hecla-Island-Hotels.d177528.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Moon Palace Cancun - All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Moon-Palace-Cancun-All-Inclusive.h428588.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Savary Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Savary-Island-Hotels.d6339353.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Romantic Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Romantic-Hotel.0-0-d180002-tRomanticHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Motels Golden](https://www.expedia.ca/Golden-Motels.d6058316-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Bloor-Yonge Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Bloor-Yonge-Station-Hotels.d6264211.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Kapama River Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Kapama-River-Lodge.h14581808.Hotel-Information) > > [A Place In The Sun - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-A-Place-In-The-Sun.h1100256.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to TYO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tyo/toronto-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Jaipur District (JAI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/jai/toronto-to-jaipur) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to San Juan (SJU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/sju/halifax-to-san-juan) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/sgn/kelowna-to-ho-chi-minh-city) > > [Flights from Auckland (AKL) to Christchurch (CHC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/akl/chc/auckland-to-christchurch) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Timehri (GEO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/geo/toronto-to-georgetown) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Dubai (SHJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/shj/toronto-to-sharjah) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Kamloops (YKA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/yka/victoria-to-kamloops) ### Packages > [Siesta Key Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Siesta-Key-Beach-Siesta-Key.d6066003.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Playa del Carmen Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen.d601751.Destination-Travel-Guides)
