Kamala House in Thornybush is truly well-appointed and beautifully decorated. The living area is comfortable with the deck and boma area, a relaxing space. Bedrooms and bathrooms are huge with oversized comfortable king-sized beds, choice of robes and exiting private balconies overlooking the bush. The inclusive package is lavish. Vero, our butler was endearing although I do feel he could have been more interactive with regard to preemptive beverage service, putting fires on and prompt clearing at meal times. Beverages available were generally good, although the beers offered on game drives need to be elevated. I was told Vero makes legit Negronis. Food served at the private villa is tasty and well prepared. Breakfast offers a limited cold buffet with the hot meal served a la carte. Food prepared by Caroline arrived hot and well seasoned. Lunches are generally cold platters and salads - these were our favourite. Dinner in the bush was disappointing with limited salads, no choice of dessert and a standard braai. The food definitely didn't live up to the magical set up complete with candles, lanterns and beautiful table linen. We opted for dinner in our villa which was nice. Loved the sublime tomato and basil soup, ostrich carpaccio and fish cakes. There should be better offerings of varied flat breads, pot brood, brioche as well as flavoured butters, olive oils and dukkah. Dessert offered is not great. Game drives with our ranger, Calton and Elliot were epic! They work well together and shared their stories, experiences and went out of their way to find our "bush wishlist". Calton is disciplined, has an extensive range of knowledge, is engaging and a likeable person. Elliot is fun, friendly and found some great sightings for us! Thanks Champions! The Spa was flexible and accommodating although I found the space generic and a little disappointing. Having said that, our massages, collectively, were fabulous. The game drive snacks were really basic and sparse. This is an area of concern and could easily be remedied with interest rather than the present, staid offerings. Thanks Thornybush, you have an inspirational team. The effort and Moet received for my 60th birthday is so appreciated 👏🏻🥂💜
