Staff was very friendly and helpful. Food was great. Our ranger, Percy, was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience outstanding. The entire staff had a birthday show for a guest that was very enjoyable!

Review of Thakadu River Camp
Reviewed 12 Feb 2024
All was amazing, the people, the place, the food, the safari, the view.
I have been sick with fever during most time of my stay but all the workers took care of me. I had an amazing experience and I would definitely come back.

We felt like kings and queens, respected and cared for from us the adults over the grown up children, of which one with a handicap up to our small baby, what a wonderful stay. The setting was fabulous, the drives wonderful, the service amazing, this trip will forever be in our heart.

The situation on the riverside made this camp an exceptional experience. Watching families of elephants coming into the river to play and have fun after an early game drive made for magical mornings. Our ranger, Percy, was outstanding but I’m sure the others were also first rate. We have been on several safaris in several countries but cannot recommend the experience of wildlife here highly enough.
Room tip: Rooms 11 and 12 are a 6 minute walk from main area but have elephants and hippos below

The most luxurious river camp , The trequality of the river that flow along the camp brings natural therapeutic kind of situation.
Because the temperature can go as far as 35 degrees C in the area that river breeze gives the body what I called natural massages.
You than view wild animal roaming around the camp with this River camp the game drive is not a necessity as u can literally just seat out side verender and view all this wild animals .
The only thing need to be improved is the road network accessibility.
Room tip: The road accessibility and road sign has to be improved.
