Tripadvisor comments Feline Fields Vintage Camp

Without doubt one of the most amazing stays we have had anywhere in the world. After a nervy flight to Khwai River, we were collected on arrival by our guide and the adventure began there and then. Luxury camping on the banks of a river with wildlife at every turn.
